Happy Hauntings!

All of us at www.ghosttour.com

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.

Hope to see you there!

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.

13. We get to do a Friday the 13^th Ghost Hunting Tour.

“In the Sunrise (maybe Sunshine) meeting room, one of the guests had taken a photo in the far right corner which showed an orb and a strange marking, like an arrow tip, pointing into a nook in the wall. He zoomed into the orb with his camera, and showed me a definite, leering face of a man within the orb. The strange marking had shown up on three photos in a row, moving position every time. The ‘arrow’ was in close proximity to the orb. We decided to enter the room to inspect the wall to see if there was a physical explanation for the marking. There were only the two of us in the room, the young man who took the picture standing to my right, when I ran my hand along the wall to check for undulations. Finding nothing unusual, I said, ‘There’s nothing here.’ The moment I finished speaking, I felt my hair being gently pulled back from the left side of my neck. There was no one standing to my left (that I could see). I stood transfixed, when suddenly something grabbed the left side of my neck, a little roughly. I jumped, very startled, and became angry, stomping out of the room telling the ghost that what it did was not very nice, and to not do that to me or my guests.

When I entered the lobby, most of the guests were huddled around a young woman who had visited the same meeting room shortly before my encounter. She said that something brushed her cheek, but not roughly. Where she had been touched, her cheek was bright red, and there were visible finger marks. I asked for someone to inspect my neck, where a red welt was discovered in the spot where I, too, had been touched. The welt was gone by the next day.

There was something else I didn’t mention to you earlier. One of the guests showed me a picture of what he thought was a paranormal occurrence in the meeting room next to the Sunrise room, but all I could see was a vacuum cleaner up against the wall. One group who had been in that room earlier mentioned that when they were in that room, the vacuum was in the center of the room. We asked the desk clerk where the vacuum cleaner normally would be, and she said that the hotel never leaves that vacuum in the meeting room. She wondered what it was doing in there, at all.”

We can’t wait to see what awaits our next Ghost Hunting Tour!

Pictures coming soon…
