Overview

Embark on a spine-tingling adventure as you explore the eerie side of the city's River District. Starting at the Flame Red Fire Dance Sculpture, where mysterious lights and ghostly figures are said to appear, you'll be led through seven haunted locations, each with its own dark history waiting to be uncovered.

Learn about the connection between Ford's Garage and Al Capone, search for the spirit of a tragic young woman along the riverbanks, and unravel the secrets of the McGregor Boulevard bones. By the end of the tour, you'll have a collection of chilling stories to share with your loved ones. Join us at 8 PM for a mile-long journey through the most haunted spots in Fort Myers, including the Fire Dance Sculpture, Centennial Park, and Main St & Monroe St.
