Overview

Embark on a spine-chilling journey through the haunted streets of Tampa with our thrilling ghost tour!

Guided by a local expert in both Tampa’s rich history and its ghostly lore, you'll explore a mile of the city’s most iconic and eerie locations.

Begin at the Tampa Theatre, a 1926 Mediterranean Revival marvel where the air is thick with whispers of unexplained noises and ghostly apparitions. Next, visit the Hotel Flor Tampa Downtown, an opulent 1927 Spanish Revival and Art Deco blend, where reports of spectral encounters add an unsettling layer to its grandeur. Then, explore Le Méridien Tampa, a restored 1905 courthouse renowned for its neoclassical elegance and tales of haunting phenomena.

Though we can't enter private buildings, the atmosphere around you is thick with the lingering energy of those who once walked these grounds.

Join us for a night of thrilling tales and ghostly encounters that will haunt your memories long after the tour ends.
