Visit the Most Haunted Places in Key West

There is nowhere to go after you get to Key West. The southernmost city in North America is the end of the line for many travelers. No matter how you get here, some never leave. This tiny island city has a historic old town ripe with stories of things that could only happen here.

We have worked hard to bring you a carefully selected tour with the best stories on the island that will also illuminate some of the fascinating histories of this southernmost place.

An old church

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Graveyard

When you stand on the romantic, overgrown grounds of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Graveyard, you may ask yourself: where is St. Paul’s? The church once loomed over the frighteningly haunted graveyard and burned down a century ago when a distressed pastor set it aflame. It burned down a second time in a city-wide fire in 1886. The structure you see today has been home to a sordid history that creeps out through the walls and haunts the graveyard.

A hotel building

The Crowne Plaza/La Conca Hotel

La Concha Hotel was supposed to be the first luxury hotel in old downtown Key West. But after over a dozen suicides, freak accidents, and murders within its walls, its ill-famed reputation is for something other than luxury. Brave visitors have reported an elevator that hovers around the fifth floor, refusing to rise any higher; drinks nabbed out of the hands of unsuspecting guests, and even the ghost of Ernest Hemingway scratching his beard in the Hemingway suite, when he often stayed.

Outside Marrero's Guest Mansion Haunted Key West

Marrero’s Guest Mansion

This beautifully restored Victorian mansion was built in 1890 by Francisco Marrero for his beloved wife. Nestled in the heart of the historic district, the mansion exudes old-world charm. From the smell of Henrietta Marrero’s lavender perfume to the children crying in rooms 17 and 23, it brings a piece of Victorian life to the living, whether we like it or not.

With so many tours and activities to choose from Southernmost, how do you choose which ones to book?

The Curry Mansion

Now known as Amsterdam’s Curry Mansion Inn, the Curry Mansion is one of the most chilling stays in all of Key West. This picturesque historic mansion is filled with shadows and mystery, and a ghostly, weeping woman still walks the old rooms as a permanent guest…

Hard Rock Café

Hard Rock Cafe is known worldwide, but this infamous haunt has earned a reputation all its own. Behind the long history of paranormal activity within Key West’s Hard Rock lies a mysterious connection with The Curry Mansion. Two worlds, modern and bygone, are linked by a haunting presence. Learn the true story only as guests of Southernmost Ghosts!

Captain Tony’s Saloon

Key West is full of watering holes, but this saloon is one of the few where you can drink among the dead. Built over a former morgue and execution site, Captain Tony’s Saloon has had a long and tortured history through the many names the bar has held, the lives that met their end at its bar, and the dead still trapped within its walls. Drink up!

Ocean Key Resort

One of the most modern haunted places on the island, the Ocean Key Resort offers luxurious hospitality for guests both living and dead. Book your room carefully, though—or else you may end up with a rather rude ghostly neighbor who refuses to check out.

The Porter Mansion – and a mysterious stack of dimes

Dr. Joseph Yates Porter was the first Public Health officer of Florida, a Conch, born and bred, he spent his career studying Yellow Fever that terrorized the island every summer. Especially dangerous for children, Dr. Porter treated dozens of children many of whom never recovered. The tragic loss of those children’s young lives deeply affected Dr. Porter. He would leave dimes on the eyes of the deceased children he had failed to save.

He passed away peacefully, but disappointed, in the bedroom where he was born. He did however help discover that mosquitos spread the disease, but he did not find a cure.

To this day, mysterious stacks of dimes appear throughout the house, and chamber music fades in and out of the thick summer nights, with no obvious source. Join us on a tour to hear more about Dr. Porters’ haunting of this Key West landmark.

The Key West connection with Hemingway and Sloppy Joe’s.

Stranded here in Key West for a night while waiting for an errant rental car, Hemingway ended up staying in Key West for over two years, finishing off A Farewell To Arms. His fingerprints are all over the city.

Hemingway often drank in Sloppy Joe’s bar, once a morgue, a telegraph house and then a speakeasy. The bar has a reputation as big as Papa Hemingway’s. It is also riddled with ghosts, right outside the bar is a tall and old tree. Over 75 criminals and pirates took their last breath on this hangman’s killing ground.

Take the Southernmost Ghosts tour and hear the tales of some of the people who lost their lives here but still hang around, including the deranged ‘lady in blue’.
