Things to do in Florida, United States: The Best Ghost & Vampire Tours

April 16, 2022 Etsuko Causey

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

This tour is both unique and exciting as you get up close to both cemeteries while hearing of its haunted present. Step on grounds dug up from the sweat of slave labor and bodies buried beneath its surface. This truly special walk is surely one to remember.

Inclusions: At times we may use dowsing rods to make contact. Feel free to use any reputable ghost app on your phone and let your guide know if you capture anything to share with the group.

We will investigate the spirits that linger near the Oldest Wooden School House on St. George Street with exclusive access to both the gardens and the School House itself. This building is documented on tax rolls since 1716 and was bought by Juan Genopoly in 1780. Genopoly was an indentured person who came to the Turnbull Plantation to grow and process indigo. He became a merchant and his family lived in the building. In 1788 the school was started with teaching both boys and girls. The last graduating class is believed to have ended in 1864. Come and explore the grounds carefully, using all of the tools paranormal investigators use. You can bring your own or select one from our assortment of tools available. Make sure you bring your camera and take photos! We are determined to solve why those who have departed this life refuse to leave the area! This is a real paranormal experience. There are no jump scares, it isn't a haunted house type attraction.

Inclusions: Ghost Hunting Tools, to use during the tour. Emf Meters, Temperature Meters, Infrared Capable Cams.

My husband and I did this while visiting the city and truly enjoyed the walk. It was fun finding different items while learning about various aspects of the city. The staff kept track of us by text, making sure that we were on the right track. We would have to send pictures back occasionally, which they printed a few and gave them to us as souvenirs. It turned out to be a longer walk than we thought, but we didn't mind and enjoyed it completely. We would different recommend this activity.

Investigating the afterlife since 1995, West Gate Paranormal Tours are run by paranormal investigators, who have researched the history as well as the legends of the nation's oldest city. Our tour is owned by one of the top rated tour guides in the city and state, and has helped to set up other tour companies and help them reach top status as well. Our tours are non-theatrical, and we rely on FACTUAL history, so there's a lot of debunking, but none of the Halloween style scares. You will be presented with some of the most thorough history, and told of the legends of the city, as well as hear the actual story behind where some of these legends originated from. We have investigated areas within the city that had never before been investigated, and we have appeared on TV presenting some of our evidence found in the very spots that the tour will guide you. We offer a unique, and historically accurate tour. Why not join us and find your OWN evidence?
