Key West's Famous Ghosts Self Guided Walking Tour

Turn Your Tour Into a Ghost Hunt

Want to take your experience to the next level?

With the built-in EMF reader in the WalknTours app, you can actively scan for paranormal activity as you walk.

EMF (Electromagnetic Field) readers are commonly used by paranormal investigators to detect unusual energy—often associated with ghostly presence.

Here’s how it works:

• Open the EMF feature anytime during the tour

• Walk through haunted locations like Captain Tony’s, the Artist House, or St. Paul’s

• Watch for spikes or changes in readings

• Compare readings at different stops

Some guests report unusual spikes near:

• The hanging tree at Captain Tony’s

• The Pirate’s Well

• The Artist House (Robert the Doll’s former home)

• Sloppy Joe’s late at night

Is it coincidence?

Or something more?

You decide.
