Learn about that spirits that linger in Jacksonville’s historic buildings on one of Historic Jacksonville, Inc.’s “Haunted History” walking tours! Two different tours are offered each tour night. Hear about revengeful women, philandering husbands, playful children, “cherished possessions,” arson for profit, an art critic, a Chinese miner seeking to have his bones returned to his native soil, and other ghosts. In the process, you'll learn a little history about the buildings, their occupants, and life in a gold rush town.

These tours are not your typical “ghost tours” with special effects. They are history tours about real hauntings resulting from past events. The stories—some scary, some benign—come from multiple sources, from people who have actually encountered these restless souls and shared their experiences with us.
