Ghosts and Gravestones:
The Only Tour Where You Meet
A Child's Toy With A Mysterious Curse
A Child's Toy With A Mysterious Curse
The "Ghosts and Gravestones" tour offers an EXCLUSIVE night-time entry into one of the island’s haunted Civil War forts - Fort East Martello Museum - once quarantine barracks for suffering soldiers left to die from yellow fever; now home to an eerie doll that can play tricks on you if you don’t play nicely. The Ghost Hosts add a pinch of humor to Key West's dark side with tales of deathly love, tragic endings, scores to settle, wrongs to right and ghastly folk – some so strange it will be hard to believe they’re true.
Reservations are required - 305-294-4678.
