Description
Climb aboard the Trolley of the Doomed for a spooky evening tour of Key West's darker side. Led by a gravedigger guide, learn the strange and macabre past of America's southernmost city.
Many find Key West a strange place during the day; but after the sun sets, the restless souls of the island’s frightful past begin to stir. On this 1-hour ghost tour, you will hear all-but-forgotten tales as you travel the dark and narrow streets of the Old Town.
Pass 19th-century wooden houses that hold secret stories of former inhabitants; stories so tragic and chilling, you’ll soon see why Key West was named one of the top 10 most haunted cities in America.
Learn the sinister story of creepy Count Karl Von Cosel and his dearly departed bride Elena Mesa. Hear tales of lynching, island superstitions, clandestine burials, murder and mayhem.
Travel past many of the island's most haunted locations like the Marrero House, the Porter Mansion, and the Hanging Tree. Pass the former home of Robert Eugene Otto, where Robert the Doll suffered the abandonment of his lifelong companion, and his mischievous ways took a more sinister turn.
Your Ghost Host will add a pinch of humor to Key West's dark side with tales of deathly love, tragic endings, scores to settle, wrongs to right and ghastly folk - some so strange it will be hard to believe they’re true…
