Stop At: Key West Ghost and Mysteries Tour, 310 Duval St Corner of Duval and Caroline Street, Key West, FL 33040-6510
Check-in for the ghost tour is no later than 8:45 at the corner of Duval and Caroline Street in front of the Porter Mansion on the Duval Street side. There is a small booth just at the entrance to the property, at the beginning of the 300 block of Duval Street, and that is where you will do your check-in. At 9pm the guide will depart and walk you down Rose Lane for an introduction to the tour which includes some Key West history, terminology used when talking about different spirit sightings, instructions on how to take pictures, and general guidelines. Key West is Florida's second oldest city and one of the most haunted locations in the country. From Rose Lane you will walk to the end of the block stopping at the Casa Antigua, Ernest Hemingway's first Key West residence where he fell in love with Key West and wrote "A Farewell to Arms". You will hear what happened in this interesting building and the ghostly story about The Watcher. The tour then moves up to Eaton Street to the Artist House where you will hear the story of the creepy, Robert the Doll and see where he used to live. Next the tour moves to Bahama Street where the oldest graveyard is located in back of Saint Paul's Church. You are invited to use the dowsing rods at this point to try to engage spirit activity. Just past the graveyard is the Dean-Lopez Funeral Home. This stop is where the strange tale of Count Von Cosel and Elana is related. This story is stranger than fiction, but it's all true and documented. You now will wind back around to the La Concha Hotel and hear what happened at the tallest building in Key West. It's a ghostly tale, but not what you probably think. Next the tour moves to the Oldest House and Gardens to explore the grounds at the back of the house, and hear stories about the family who lived here and learn about the many ghostly sightings. This is the most active location on the tour and many guests get pictures on their cameras. Finally, the tour moves inside to hear the chilling tale of a prominent Key West family at their former residence. As the tour concludes, there is time for stories and picture sharing. The tour is interactive and questions are encouraged. The tour ends at 10:30 across the street from where it started.

Which do you prefer? Spooks or Spectacles? This walking tour hosted by Southernmost Ted, who has a clear love for history of this island as well as for its other-worldly residents, contains both and will leave you feeling a little amazed by the paranormal effervescence that can fill the room or embellish your photos of Key West Night Life. Without a doubt, you will find yourself both inspired and curious to learn more about the island’s vivid history as well as the reality of the unseen world. On that last one, I’d simply add to proceed with caution and take a guide who’s energy is clean.✨ We visited several sites, and had a number of remarkable encounters, most notably at the Hard Rock Cafe, where one of the guest’s recently deceased cousin, showed up (no kidding) to let her know he is ok, as well as some chills, and light hearted laughs. ✨ One thing I really appreciated about Ted’s tour is the way he so compassionately shares the story relevant to the Artist’s House. For those details, I defer to Ted. ✨ For me, the most remarkable images were captured across the street from the original Dean-Lopez Funeral home while Ted was recounting the infamous Key West Undying Love Story of Elena Hoyos and Carl Tanzler. Not for the faint of heart- that is for sure… 😘Ted was a great guide! So enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Very fun and interesting. It was great the way he involved the group.
