Boo! Local ghost stories and ghost hunting are our business. Apalach Ghost Tours is unique from other tours around the country (trust us, we’ve been on several) in that you not only get our local ghost stories and haunted history, we also do some paranormal investigating on our tours using real ghost hunting equipment. This is an experience you don’t normally get to do on regular ghost tours. Plus, you’ll have a costumed “ghosty” guide leading the way. Our tours are offered year-round and are ever changing as we learn more haunted history about the town and as more people share their paranormal experiences from Apalachicola. We add their stories to our tours too.
All of our tours feature researched haunted history and ghost stories as related by business owners, residents, and visitors to this historic town. Ghostly figures are not going to jump out of the shadows to scare you (this isn’t that kind of tour) 👻. However, we do use ghost hunting equipment that may indicate a ghost is near. Check out our Ghost Stories & The Paranormal Tour! Specialty tours are conducted on select dates throughout the year. All of our tours are family-friendly.
Our tours are conducted in the commercial district in downtown Apalachicola and begin in front of the Chamber of Commerce (17 Avenue E) next to the Dixie Theatre. Stories are told in the shadows of many of the town’s historic buildings. They are all privately owned and we cannot conduct tours inside them. We are also not allowed to conduct tours inside any local cemetery, especially at night per a local ordinance. All tours are on Eastern Time. Our tours start on time and we will not wait for you if you are running late.
Well-behaved, leashed pets are welcome!
