Safety Harbor's only ghost tour runs select nights through May at 8:00 PM. Led by Safety Harbor local and certified tour guide Cynthia Dominick, Silent Slayer Ghost Tours has been documenting the haunted history and true crime of historic downtown Safety Harbor since 2021. Check <a href="https://silentslayertours.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">silentslayertours.com</a> for available dates.
The 90-minute walking tour covers documented true crime, local legends, and reported paranormal activity at historic downtown landmarks. Guests hear real stories connected to a hanging tree, a devastating fire, a murder tied to a possible brothel, a daring bank robbery, and the city's funeral home past. The tour includes exclusive entry into the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa lobby and History Hall, a ghost hunting sampler at the Elf Tree using dowsing rods, a spirit box, cat balls, and the flashlight experiment, and Cynthia's personal restaurant recommendations for Safety Harbor. You have to show up to find out which ones make the list.
Since 2021 Silent Slayer has documented consistent unexplained activity at a specific location on this route before, during, and after every tour. The phenomenon has been observed on evenings when Cynthia is not even in Safety Harbor. A psychic medium who has investigated it believes it is not a coincidence. Silent Slayer documents everything and lets guests draw their own conclusions.
No costumes, no actors, no scripted performances. Safety Harbor's only ghost tour. Running since 2021 with a 4.9-star Google rating and nearly 10,000 guests served.
Meet at Gigglewaters, 737 Main St, Safety Harbor. Arrive 10 minutes early.
Thursday through Sunday at 8:00 PM / Ages 13+ / Limited to 15 guests
From $35 per person

Safety Harbor Ghost Tour: Haunted History and True Crime

The original Tarpon Springs ghost tour runs select nights through April at 8:00 PM, Led by local guide and screenwriter Ace Chapman, Silent Slayer Ghost Tours has been running the only authentic paranormal walking tour through historic downtown Tarpon Springs since 2023. Check <a href="https://silentslayertours.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">silentslayertours.com</a> for available dates.
The tour covers the story of Marshal Ruben Jones, described by a former Tarpon Springs Mayor as "the toughest, meanest, killingest man" in the city's history. Elected Marshal for 12 straight one-year terms beginning in 1906. Shot a challenger in the back at Spring Bayou. Tried, acquitted, retired in 1920, and found with more than 80 bullet wounds on a hunting trip shortly after. The case has never been solved. His gold badge is now on display at the Tarpon Springs Police Department.
The route also passes the Cheney House, the Old Dry Goods Store that once sold coffins with "embalming if necessary," and the Old Saloon Building where the 1953 film Beneath the 12-Mile Reef filmed its famous fight scene. Guests use dowsing rods on the platform of the historic Train Depot and a spirit box during select moments. Many have heard their own names called back.
There is also Mary. A documented spirit presence in downtown Tarpon Springs who responds to Ace on demand. Silent Slayer has video of Mary turning her streetlight on and off at a guest's request. On one occasion the light exploded. Her full story is shared on the tour and not before.
No costumes, no actors, no fake equipment. The original Tarpon Springs ghost tour. Running since 2023. Ace has never once finished in exactly 90 minutes. Plan for longer. It is always worth it.
Meet at Spring Bayou, Tarpon Springs. Arrive 10 minutes early.
