What will I see on this tour?
Versace, Victims, Violence, and War
Idyllic South Beach seems as picture-perfect as a postcard, great on paper but teeming with the unknown hiding in the shadows and waiting for the Miami sun and heat to subside. It has attracted tourists since it was first opened up by Flagler’s railroad at the turn of the 19th century. Miles and miles of sandy white beaches, windswept coastlines, and azure white caps breaking the waves created an iconic setting with a booming economy to attract visitors from all over the world. It also happens to be one of the most haunted and terrifying regions in the Florida panhandle known for its ghostly guests who have been visiting the land of the living for over centuries.
Embark with us on a thrilling ghost adventure just as the sun dips and the city of Miami begins to glow with neon lights, while the ghosts of South Beach lurk just beyond in the shadows between its haunted buildings. The Miami Haunts ghost tour is a unique and morbidly exciting ride that will take you through some of the most iconic places in Miami’s South Beach in search of ghostly apparitions and the bone-tingling backstories of the people they came from. From the steps of Versace’s mansion, and its bloody history, to one of the Florida state’s oldest bars, we will encounter a smorgasbord of unexplained phenomena. You’ll even come across the formerly secret location of CIA blackouts experiments that breached the veil and made contact with something wicken and unknown on the other side.
With Miami haunts, hear authentic accounts of a region whose contemporary history began with Henry Flagler’s ambition and somehow, over time, transformed into a town where anything goes. Listen to tales of desperate soldiers during their Miami march into occupied France. Experience a spine-tingling rush when you visit the infamous Versace Mansion, now known as Villa Casuarina, the deadly location of Versace’s murder and experience an encounter with the ghost of Versace himself. Tread carefully into the haunted locations buzzing with ghostly energy, echoes of the madness the Cold War with Cuba’s Fidel Castro drove us into.
Why do the dead still haunt Miami?
South Beach was originally used for farmland, a quaint little dash of real-estate no one wanted until Henry Flagler and John Collins laid their eyes on it over 200 years ago. During that time it attracted all manner of “entrepreneurs”, from A-list celebrities that wanted to stay at one of its many haunted hotels, to legendary mobsters like Al Capone that saw Miami as a no man’s land where he could retreat to when Chicago got too cold, or the heat from the law was too hot for comfort. For years, Miami, and South Beach, rapidly transformed into party towns, a Gatsby-like jamboree that came to a crashing halt once World War II took center stage, and finally, Pablo Escobar and the Cocaine Wars turned the region into the murder capital of the planet.
This Miami ghost tour will reveal a 200-year-old history full of terrifying encounters, and otherworldly presence. A history that started with the railroad dashing across its coasts, and ended with the murder of one of the most influential fashion icons in the world. Uncover the truth behind the origins of the epicenter of the battle of supremacy between the United States, Latin America, Cuba, and the Soviet Union. This unbelievably violent locale with a nightlife as dangerous and deadly as it was exciting inspired Oliver Stone to write screenplays for iconic films like Scarface that painted a perfect portrait of the violence of South Beach.
In a place where unending local feuds and an international cold war caused untold pain, suffering, manipulation, and countless lives to be lost, the ghosts of guilty gangsters, patriotic soldiers, sinister spies, and unfortunate innocents are chained to the streets they are destined to roam and visit the haunted locations where their blood was spilled.
Experience the dangerous past of Miami and its ghost-filled presence.
Uncover the multitude of haunted locations the Pink and The Blue has hidden in its underbelly. Walk down neon-soaked streets, and sun-baked pavements across South Beach and uncover evidence of its many ghostly visitors. Learn why Miami, this mecca of play, was once invaded by the US Army and why its many iconic hotels served as barracks for soldiers whose violent occupation left a mark that cursed many of those locations to be haunted and plagued forever? Reveal the secrets of Miami in the 80s and 90s as the city slid into bloody street-level warfare at the hands of Pablo Escobar’s cronies. Whether it’s your first spectral tour, or you’re a veteran of Dark Tourism, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you simply cannot afford to miss out on.
The sun and fun Capital of the world is simply too good to resist…and too good to be true. For all manner of creatures, it has been a place that, like the proverbial flame, has always attracted those too curious and too naive, and in many cases, they have been scorched by the violence, the unknown, and the unseen that hide under the surface. It is a land where people come to unwind, to rise to the occasion and seek ghostly adventures, and to let their passions run hot…all of which can have unintended consequences.
