Ybor City Ghost Tour Sends Shivers Down Your Spine During The Spookiest Season

Author Roxanne Wilder

Did you know Ybor City is haunted? You won’t doubt it after you take a little Ybor City Ghost Tour.

If you’ve been entertaining taking the tour, why not do so this Halloween season. We found out a little bit about the Ybor City Ghost Tour so we could let you know what to expect.

Be prepared to spend two hours walking the streets of Ybor City and downtown Tampa into some scary and spooky spots. Your tour-guide will have his trusty spectrometer in tow, which is of course, a device used to track ghosts and spirits. Along with learning about who is haunting our city, you’ll learn some of its rich history.

Stops Along The Ybor City Ghost Tour

One of the places along the tour that is most intriguing to me is the Tampa Theatre. I’ve always heard that it’s haunted. I didn’t know the details, but apparently, a guy named Fink is haunting it. Fink worked there back in the 1930’s and 1940’s. He was a projectionist. He’s known as a good spirit, but he makes himself known.

One of the stops in Ybor is at the Ybor Cuban Club. The spirits roaming the rooms there are alleged to be a woman in white who jumped off a balcony, an actor who hanged himself off stage, and a boy who drowned in an indoor pool. That’s just to name a few! There are supposedly 300 spirits at the Ybor Cuban Club. It’s the fourth most haunted building in the United States!

Each time he brings a tour through, Stamberger leaves a rubber ball behind – a sort of peace offering to the little boy’s spirit.

I’ve been wanting to go on this Ybor City Ghost Tour for a long time. Now would be the perfect season to as the calendar turns to October. Once, while visiting New Orleans, I went on a ghost tour and there was something to it. We took some photos and saw some CRAZY orbs.
