I lived as best I could, and then I died.

Be careful where you step: the grave is wide.

🕯️ St. Augustine Lighthouse (St. Augustine)

One of the oldest (and creepiest!) spots in Florida. People say the ghost of the first lighthouse keeper still climbs the stairs, and the giggles of three young girls — who sadly died in an accident — echo through the halls. Want chills? Join a ghost tour here!

🔮 Cassadaga – “The Psychic Capital of the World”

Welcome to a town full of mediums and mystics! Cassadaga is known for spooky vibes and ghostly encounters. You can even take a guided ghost walk and hear tales of spirits from the locals who talk to them!

😈 The Devil’s Chair (Port St. Lucie)

In Oak Hammock Park sits a creepy tree and a legendary “Devil’s Chair.” This area is linked to Florida’s first serial killer — and visitors swear they’ve heard whispers or seen eerie figures. Enter if you dare…

🏨 The Biltmore Hotel (Coral Gables)

This glamorous hotel has a dark side! In 1929, mobster “Fatty” Walsh was shot in the 13th-floor speakeasy, and his ghost supposedly still hangs around. Ghost tours show you the haunted suite — bullet hole and all!

🏚️ The Riddle House (West Palm Beach)

Once a funeral parlor, this house has a haunted history. The spirit of Joseph, an employee who took his own life, is said to roam the halls. It’s so spooky, it’s even been on ghost-hunting TV shows!

🚔 Old Jail (St. Augustine)

Creepy cells, a dark history, and… lingering spirits? The Old Jail is one of Florida’s most haunted spots. Take a ghost tour and hear tales of inmates who may never have left…

🌿 Bellamy Bridge Heritage Trail (Marianna)

Follow this trail if you’re brave enough to meet the “Ghost of Bellamy Bridge” — a bride said to haunt the woods after a tragic accident. Visitors have claimed to see her glowing figure through the trees!

⚰️ Key West Cemetery (Key West)

Built after a deadly hurricane in 1846, this cemetery holds over 100,000 souls. Strange sightings and ghostly encounters are common. You can take a night tour… if you’re not afraid of what goes bump in the dark.

👻 Havana, Florida

This quiet little town has a spooky side too! Locals talk of haunted houses and unexplained shadows. Keep your eyes peeled for ghostly guests!

• Never go alone — spirits like company… and it’s just smarter.

• And remember — the scariest thing you might find is your own imagination!
