About this experience

Experience the longest-running ghost tour in Safety Harbor, where haunted history, true crime, and real paranormal activity come together after dark.

Along the route, guests learn about reported ghost sightings at the St. James Hotel, investigate legends surrounding the haunted dog statue, and uncover why Safety Harbor’s healing waters and sacred Tocobaga grounds are believed to hold lingering energy.
