Orlando Ghost Tour
This 90-minute walking tour features 'true' ghost stories about Orlando's history. On our tour, we did some 'ghostbusting' of our own inside the Orange County Regional History Center. With handheld electromagnetic field (EMF) detectors and temperature gauges, we surveyed the old courtroom on the 2nd floor and captured a few orbs on film next to the table where Ted Bundy had etched his initials.
On the way out, one participant was thumped on the head by an unseen force - he had the red mark on his forehead to prove it! Hopefully, your private tour will be equally fun…and downright spooky. Tours are by appointment only - ask for Michael Gavin.

St Augustine Transfer Horse-Drawn Carriage Tours
Horse-drawn carriages regularly clip-clop through town to the chagrin of impatient motorists backed up behind. These actually aren't as hokey as they might seem, with knowledgeable, opinionated drivers; try St Augustine Transfer, which leaves from Av Menendez just south of the fort for a 2½-hour ride.
