Most people immediately think of theme parks and other similar attractions when they think of Florida. But if the truth be told there is plenty more to see and do in the area than that.

One of the most exciting and nerve wracking things you can do in Florida is to take your place on a ghost tour. You would be surprised at just how many of these there are in Florida today, from the Keys right up to the north of the area. No matter where you choose to stay, you won’t be far from some nerve jangling sights and stories.

The St Augustine Ghost Tour is a classic example. Known widely as the Ghosts and Gravestones tour, this is not for the faint hearted. The Huguenot Cemetery, the grounds of the lighthouse in St Augustine and much more besides are included on the tour. You can even spend a few hours during the night at the Old Jail in St Augustine, if you aren’t too scared to do so!

Elsewhere you can try the Kissimmee Ghost Tour to delve back into the haunted history of this part of Florida. This is a highly rated walking tour that lots of people have enjoyed. There is never any guarantee that you will see a ghost of course, but you just never know.

You won’t feel left out if you are staying down in Key West either. There are ghost tours taking place on a regular basis down here, and they go at 8pm and 9pm every night. Their website shows various photos that have been taken on the tour and apparently paranormal sightings occur quite frequently by people who are brave enough to take a place on the walk.

As you can see there are any number of ghost tours of various types in various locations in Florida. The only question is whether you will join the ranks of those people who have already been brave enough to give it a try. It will certainly make a memorable addition to any holiday based in Florida.
