6 OF THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES IN FLORIDA

Hello all,

It's almost that time of the year. Time for fall camping and ghost stories around the campfire. Almost time for the spookiest time of the year. Florida is home to many places claiming to be haunted. In September, I am planning on a trip to St. Augustine. It is the oldest and most haunted city in the US. I have a few ghost tours planned, and I can't wait to share those videos with all of you. Until that time, here is a list of haunted place you might want to check out yourself!


1. St. Augustine Lighthouse- There are reports people were killed here while the lighthouse was being built. Many visitors report hearing children's laughter and feeling their clothing being tugged on. People have said they smelled cigar smoke when no one was around. Some have reported seeing images of former lighthouse keepers, and of one of their daughters who had slipped on the rocks below and died. You can also hear the sound of footsteps and see lights flickering going on and off. When we visited this place we witnessed a light going on and then off in an empty room. We also heard noises that couldn't be explained.

2. The Old Jail in St. Augustine-  Tour guides and visitors here have reported feeling cold spots and hearing the sounds of shuffling feet and shouts and wails. Some have reported seeing a large shadowy figure standing in a cell who is believed to be Sheriff Perry. It has been featured in many paranormal investigations. Many have gotten strange pictures inside and out of orbs, streaks of light, and shadows.

3. The Pritchard House in Titusville- People have observed strange noises,disembodied voices, objects moving, and a broken grandfather clock that still chimes.. Some say one of the ghosts who haunts this place is Lola Pauline Smith Pritchard. When she was alive, she hated people visiting her home.

5. BELLEVIEW BILTMORE HOTEL IN CLEARWATER- One couple who stayed at the hotel caught a picture of a ghost. In the picture there is a mist that resembles a person standing at the top of a staircase. One ghost hunter who was doing an investigation here reported seeing a misty figure of a woman in 1930's era clothing. He also heard a female voice saying "Don't go up there, they're mad at me." I have read they have recently demolished the historic landmark, and moved a preserved portion of it 230 feet to incorporate into a boutique hotel.

6. Hamburger Mary's Orlando-  The building dates back to the 1800's and was originally a hardware store. Staff have reported seeing the ghost of a young girl dressed in Victorian era clothes. You can see her late at night, skipping around, waving at people and tapping on windows.
