It's time for a haunting.
It's time for the Touriffic Summer Ghost Tours. The Pensacola Historical Society is giving the summer another chance. This will be the second year we have offered summer tours. Last year was a blast. Nothing like feeling a cold chill as the spirits pay a visit on a hot, humid Pensacola night.
There are two tours to choose from: Adults only Redlight Tour and family friendly Seville Tour. Both tours last an hour. The Redlight Tour follows along Palafox Street while the Seville Tour walks around the Seville Square and Historic Districts. The Redlight Tour is adults only due to its bars and brothels theme not because it is more frightening.
There are ghosts aplenty on either tour.
These are slightly different from our fall Haunted House Walking and Trolley Tours. During the summer the guides do not wear costumes for the most logical reason--its too hot! Also, in the summer we prefer to sell walk up tickets instead of the prepaid reservations. Once again its weather related. Storms are much more common on summer nights. Finally, the last difference between the summer and fall tours is the tours themselves. In the fall we offer walking and trolley tours, but in the summer it is strictly walking.
Come see if Thomas Moristo pays a visit to the tour. You never know who might make an appearance.
Don't forget to rent a ghost meter for your tour for only $5.00/per tour.
