Tarpon Springs Ghost Tour — Haunted History & True Crime Discount Tickets

Overview

2026 Besties Award-winning original Tarpon Springs ghost tour. So good it was copied. Led by Ace Chapman — and long story short, it never is. Now in its fourth year, this is the original Tarpon Springs ghost tour, led by screenwriter and longtime local guide Ace Chapman. The history is real, researched, and specific — never borrowed, embellished, or sold as a paid upgrade. The tour covers downtown Tarpon Springs after dark, including the story of Marshal Ruben Jones, a lawman whose career and mysterious 1921 death remain part of local legend. The route passes the Cheney House, the Old Dry Goods Store, and the Old Saloon Building, home to a 1953 film's famous fight scene. Guests use dowsing rods at the Train Depot and a spirit box along the way. There's also Mary, a spirit documented turning her streetlight on and off on demand. No fake equipment. No scripted theatrics. No paid upgrades. 2026 Besties Award winner, Best Tour. Still the best one.
