Jacksonville Ghost Tours

Jacksonville wears its history quietly, but Florida's River City has seen four centuries of conflict, disease, and disaster along the banks of the St. Johns River. Founded in 1822 on ground already shaped by Spanish colonial settlers, the city carries the memory of every tragedy it has survived — and Ghost City Tours is bringing its haunted history to Northeast Florida.

The Great Fire of 1901 leveled much of downtown and left behind spirits said to wander the rebuilt streets. Add Civil War battles that traded the city back and forth, waves of yellow fever, and the maritime disasters of a working riverfront, and Jacksonville's supernatural reputation begins to make sense. Its historic theaters, Victorian neighborhoods, and riverfront buildings preserve not just the architecture of the past, but apparently some of its residents as well.

From Spanish conquistadors to Civil War soldiers and Victorian-era citizens, the dead of the River City have never quite moved on. Explore haunted Jacksonville with Ghost City Tours and see why one of Florida's oldest cities is also one of its most haunted.
