Haunts include: The Old Drug Store that rests upon an old Indian burial ground and is a natural gathering place for lost souls and malignant spirits. Enter… and in darkness, you will learn the secrets of embalming and why so many people were buried alive; The Spanish Military Hospital where you can visit a death bed and hear of amputations and strange medical practices shared in whispered tones as you re-live the grizzly duties of 17th century medical practitioners and finally, The Old Jail, featured on the Sci-Fi Channel’s Ghost Hunters, that was built in 1891 and housed prisoners for more than 60 years. Listed on the Florida and National Haunted Places Register, the Old Jail has been the site of countless supernatural occurrences. Many criminals met their maker here at the end of a hangman’s noose.
