We must be feeling pretty spirited this year…we’re having a St. Paddy’s Day Ghost Tour in Gulfport!
The haunted history of Gulfport is filled with tales of the supernatural and mysterious — such as the story about the ghosts of two lost children, or the one involving the appearance of two long-dead entrepreneurs, or the one about the spectral streetcar that barrels through town!
The St. Paddy’s Day Ghost Tour will delve into these tales and more on Wednesday, March 17 at 8:00 pm. The tour will depart from outside of the Casino Ballroom at 5500 Shore Blvd. S, Gulfport, FL 33707. Reservations are required, so give us a call at 727.894.4678 or purchase tickets online at www.ghosttour.com.
Come join us in Old City (and Society Hill and Queen Village!) for a St. Paddy’s Ghost Tour of Philadelphia on March 12 and 13 at 7:30 pm!
This tour will bring an Irish twist to Philly’s rich haunted history. You can grab a drink or a bite to eat before the tour at Brownies Irish Pub (46 S. 2nd St.), or after the tour at Dark Horse Pub (421 S. 2nd St.). In between, we’re going to follow a supernatural trail of banshees, bogies and hobgoblins for a St. Patrick’s treat that just might scare the shamrock out of all of us!
Reservations are required, so be sure to give us a call at 215-413-1997 or buy tickets online at www.ghosttour.com.
Amy B. sent us this email and photo from the tour in downtown St. Petersburg last week:
Hello,
My name is Amy I went on the Ghost Tour last night in St Pete … and I had a great time. My friends and I captured some great pictures of some orbs, and I wanted to share one of the best ones I took with you. It was very visible and blueish in color. Thank you again.
She took the photo in the dining area of The Pier Hotel, a building which, incidentally, has a history of strange happenings. In particular, people used to say a disembodied voice could be heard bellowing through its halls.
That’s why we’re getting ready for the upcoming Valentine’s Ghost Tour of Philadelphia on February 12th, 13th, and 14th! We’ll be hosting Candlelight Walking Tours each night at 7:30 pm (and 9:30 pm on Saturday), which will begin outside Varga Bar at 10th and Spruce Streets and last about an hour and a half.
Love is one of the classic ingredients of a ghost story, so we’ve round up all the hauntings brought about by love and its many discontents, and spun tales of romance and heartbreak, revenge and betrayal, and, of course, undying love!
Finally, we can kiss those ordinary Valentine’s happenings goodbye!
From the blog Ball Don’t Lie comes word of the Knicks hightailing it out of Oklahoma City because the hotel they stayed in, The Skirvin Hilton, is haunted.
For two days, several players had trouble sleeping because they were convinced that their downtown hotel, The Skirvin Hilton, is haunted.
“I definitely believe it,” Jared Jeffries told Frank Isola of the New York Daily News. “The place is haunted. It’s scary.”
Eddy Curry claims he slept for only two hours Sunday night because he couldn’t stop thinking about ghosts roaming the hotel. … For years, guests staying at the Skirvin Hilton have reported strange noises and ghost sightings. … the hotel’s original owner had an affair with a maid that led to a pregnancy. To avoid scandal, the maid was locked on the top floor where she went crazy, gave birth and then jumped out a window killing herself and the baby. Since then, guests have reported hearing a wailing infant [and] seeing naked female ghosts…
Reminds us of the Renaissance Vinoy Hotel in St. Petersburg, Florida, which has a similarly strange story of its own. In 2003, several members of the Boston Red Sox admitted to seeing an apparition of a man dressed in 1930s garb who would vanish into thin air.
