The sun-soaked “Theme Park Capital of The World” attracts millions of visitors year-round, but not all are welcome. Orlando’s seedy past includes a visit by one of America’s most infamous serial killers, where he was brought to justice and given the ultimate sentence.
Visit the terminally tainted Orange County Regional History Center, the very spot where Ted Bundy met his fate for one of his many gruesome crimes. The heinous murderer would succumb to a punishment that matched his crimes, but as in life, his wicked soul shows no remorse.

Visit Orlando’s Most Haunted Locations, Including:
Orlando has a strange mysticism to it. Beyond sitting in the middle of a state known for its record-breaking number of UFO sightings, the city has a reputation for its Bermuda Triangle-like tendencies. Orlando Haunts introduces you to the eerie buildings that house some of the most peculiar and petrifying disappearing acts known to man.
Join our spine-tingling Orlando ghost tour to uncover the ugly truth about the Historic Angebilt Hotel, home of a creepy, unsolved mystery. In the 40s, the thirteenth floor of this infamous hotel was demolished by a hurricane as guests enjoyed themselves in the ballroom. When the rubble cleared, the ballroom was no more, and the patrons had seemingly vanished.
The Historic Angebilt Hotel isn’t the only location shrouded in mystery. Get an unflinching look into the dark side of the city, where so many have ventured, only to never return. Stand feet away from a theater with an unsettling backstory.

These tales and more await on this thrilling, haunted exploration of downtown Orlando. Orlando Haunts invites you to uncover the otherworldly energy that runs below the city’s tropical groves and scenic lakes. But stay close; you don’t want to become part of these nefarious legends.
While people were disappearing underground, activities just as gruesome and heinous were occurring above ground. The serene weather and beautiful scenery attracted some of the most ruthless, money-hungry, and vicious people the Victorian era had to offer.
Orlando Haunts takes you to the former home of one such individual, Gordon Rogers, the English businessman who commissioned this now-historic landmark. Today, the Rogers Building is as cursed as it is iconic, due largely in part to his affiliation with the secret, nefarious Skull and Bones Club and his dealings with the English Club.
Hear the putrid details of the happenings in these clubs and whether they contributed to the death of his entire family. He may have mysteriously disappeared following the gruesome discovery of their bodies, but his wife Magnolia is forever tied to the spot of her unavenged murder.
It’s said that her sorrowful spirit can be seen staring out of the upper window in despair, filled with anguish over the loss of her children. Her presence sends chills down the spines of those who encounter her, but she isn’t the only one who terrifies guests. Find out who else joins her in the afterlife, taunting the visitors of The Rogers Building with Orlando Haunts.
In the city that houses the most magical place on earth, it’s a wonder that Orlando doubles as a magnet for the macabre. Scores of prostitutes, con artists, unusual individuals, and the nation’s most nefarious criminals have made their way here, hoping to blend in inconspicuously among the tall and lush palm trees and cheerful locals.
Discover the curious case of “Doctor” Kit Quaker, who took residency in the Grand Bohemian Hotel in the 1930s. Learn about the doctor’s questionable, deadly practices that involved the slow poisoning of his patients. His victims would be stored in his makeshift morgue located right in the hotel.
No building seems safe from the strange characters of Orlando’s unhinged past. Orlando Haunts takes you to S.H. Kress Company, home to the spirit of UFO expert Edward F. Shibbert and one of the most bone-chilling stories in the city.
Shibbert, the architect of the building, is known as the father of Central Florida UFO studies and spent his life dedicated to the topic. He lived on the upper floor for his entire life until one day, he mysteriously disappeared. It’s said that since his alleged death, the floor has been full of poltergeist activity.
UFO sightings and otherworldly activity often go hand in hand, and Orlando has documented the most UFO sightings in the nation. Could this correlate with the unexplained activity in Shibbert’s former home? Hear all about the malicious deeds of Dr. Quaker and the mysterious life of Edward Shibbert along your way through Orlando’s most haunted locations.
The spirits of gruesome murders, terrible accidents, and victims of unbridled greed lurk among the streets of the Central Business District.

The ghosts of murdered children and the spirit of a man who took his own life on the tracks still haunt the 1881 building.
Women of ill repute lived a rough life in the 1800s and often encountered unhinged violence in the process. Many bore children to men who did not want them or their offspring. Both were generally disposed of quickly. Uncover the terror that torments patrons, as many have complained of chairs moving on their own, glasses being thrown, and even their hair being pulled by an unseen force.

The St. James Cathedral caught fire after a disastrous storm. It crushed churchgoes, and when the smoke cleared, all that was left was an upside-down cross. Feel the terror of these unwary and unprepared souls that now stack Bibles and throw candles across empty pews. Occult scholars and paranormal investigators have pondered these events for years, and now so will you.
Capture the essence of Orlando’s tumultuous early days when the city was as dangerous as it was young. Visit the Cheyenne Saloon, the home of Orlando’s most well-loved casket maker, Elijah Hand. He and his lover, Penelope, now terrorize nightclub patrons on the top floor with their heavy phantom footsteps.
We all know about the resorts and theme parks, but few know about the dangerous men and women who frequented The Phoenix Building. Once a speakeasy, it is now full of former patrons ranging from vaudeville performers to rum runners. They often grab a drink at Mather’s Social Gathering, the bar on the top floor where the speakeasy once sat.
