On Saturday night, we ventured to Orlando, where we met our tour guide and other curious guests for a spooky walk under the moonlight. I recommend getting to the city at least 15 minutes early to ensure you can find parking and the tour meeting location.

Our tour began at 8 PM and consisted of walking through the streets with our very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, Roger, who immediately set the tone for an exciting evening filled with eerie tales and local legends. As we strolled along, the night air wrapped around us, occasionally varying in a gentle breeze as we moved from one haunted location to another. Roger’s engaging storytelling brought the past of the city to life, allowing us to visualize the narrative.

If you are attending a ghost tour, I highly recommend bringing a camera to capture the haunting sights and wearing a comfy pair of footwear. We walked for about an hour and 45 minutes, weaving through historic sites and listening intently as Roger shared spine-tingling stories of historical happenings and ghostly encounters that have been reported in the area. Each stop offered a glimpse into the haunting past of Orlando, and we learned a great deal along the way.

Some stops included notable sites like the Old Orlando Railroad Depot, The Strand Hotel, Orange County Regional History Center, and The Kress Building.

• We explored the tale of Central Florida’s first UFO hunter, whose findings supposedly led to a portal to another universe. This peculiar man lived at the Kress Building and vanished, leaving behind documents about extraterrestrial visitors.
• We also stopped by the Orange County Regional History Center, where Ted Bundy was convicted, creating an atmosphere of fear among visitors and security guards due to a haunted stuffed animal and cold spots.
• At the Old Orlando Railroad Depot and the Strand Hotel, the spirits of heartbroken men and children of ladies of the night linger, sharing their tragic tales at Orlando’s darkest haunted location.

Photos and discussions were encouraged in our tour group, making our exploration more interactive. At one stop, I tried to take a photo, but my DSLR camera wouldn’t work, leaving us to wonder if something spooky was preventing us from capturing the moment…

In addition to documenting our adventure, we also held onto the EMF Detector. On a few occasions, we noticed the device lighting up in a vivid red, indicating fluctuations in the electromagnetic field. It detects radiation from 0 to 20+ milligauss (mG), which is ideal for identifying both subtle and strong electromagnetic anomalies, enhancing our understanding of the unseen forces around us and adding a layer of excitement to our journey.

From exploring the streets and viewing historic buildings from the 1800s to hearing chilling stories about ghostly residents of the city who still whisper their secrets through the night, this tour offered a unique and immersive glimpse into Orlando’s history.

I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in history and ghost stories. As you stroll through the dark streets at night, you’ll learn about famous hauntings, uncover historical secrets, and may even meet a spirit or two, all while enjoying an adventure that connects the past with the present.
