What will you see?  Here are the tour highlights

Pensacola Museum of History


Housed in the former City Hall building, the museum has become one of Pensacola's most active paranormal locations. Staff members report hearing footsteps in empty hallways, children's laughter echoing through stairwells, and an elevator that mysteriously opens on multiple floors without being called. Visitors have even reported feeling taps on their shoulders and hearing whispered voices when no one else was nearby.


Museum Plaza


Today this peaceful plaza serves as a community gathering place, but it was once at the center of devastating yellow fever outbreaks that killed hundreds. Some visitors claim to hear whispers, cries, and unexplained sounds after dark, leading many to believe the victims never truly left.


Museum of Industry


Built in 1884 as the Pensacola Ice Company, this historic building is said to be haunted by echoes of the city's industrial past. Visitors have reported hearing phantom machinery, footsteps, metallic sounds, and even sightings of shadowy railroad workers near the historic train pavilion.


Lear/Rocheblave House


One of Pensacola's most famous haunted homes, visitors have reported seeing the ghost of a young girl dancing in an upstairs room. Witnesses have also described smelling old-fashioned perfume and hearing unexplained noises throughout the historic property.


Old Christ Church


Built in 1832, this historic church has no shortage of ghostly tales. During a reburial ceremony for three former rectors, witnesses reported seeing three mysterious robed figures walking alongside the clergy before vanishing without a trace. Many believe the priests attended their own funeral.


Dorr House


The spirit of Clara Dorr is said to remain in the home she loved. Visitors frequently report smelling fresh roses, feeling sudden cold spots, and even experiencing mysterious tugs on their clothing, as though Clara is still maintaining order within her house.


Seville Quarter


Widely regarded as one of the most haunted places in Pensacola, Seville Quarter is home to numerous reported spirits. The most famous is Wesley Gibbs, a bartender who died on the property and is said to still roam the halls, moving objects and appearing unexpectedly to staff and guests.


Plaza Ferdinand VII


One of Pensacola's oldest public spaces, this historic plaza has witnessed political ceremonies, public executions, and lynchings. Visitors have reported sightings of a Spanish woman in white dancing among the monuments, along with other unexplained paranormal activity tied to the tragic events that occurred here.
