About this tour
After dark, Tarpon Springs reveals a different side of its history. Join local guide Ace Chapman for a 90-minute walk through downtown, where researched stories of true crime and the paranormal bring familiar streets into sharper focus.
Hear the story of Marshal Ruben Jones, whose career and mysterious 1921 death remain part of local legend. Along the route, pass the Cheney House, the Old Dry Goods Store, and the Old Saloon Building, known for a fight scene in a 1953 film. At the historic Train Depot, try dowsing rods on the platform; a spirit box is used during select moments of the tour. The experience also shares the account of Mary, a spirit said to turn her streetlight on and off on demand.
This small-group Tarpon Springs Ghost Tour is led by a longtime local guide and includes all equipment. The leisurely route covers just over one mile, with a maximum of 15 guests. Meet at Spring Bayou, at the bottom of the staircase leading to the water, and discover the stories that linger in historic downtown Tarpon Springs.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.67 from 21 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Clearwater
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.7.
