Gathering Under the Gaslights

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the palm-lined streets of Fort Myers, I found myself standing outside the Franklin Shops, the starting point of the Haunted Fort Myers Tour. The air was thick with anticipation, and the flickering gaslights added a touch of old-world charm to the scene. Our guide, a charismatic storyteller with a theatrical flair, welcomed us with a mischievous grin, hinting at the spine-tingling tales that awaited us.

The group was a mix of skeptics, believers, and thrill-seekers, all eager to uncover the secrets of Fort Myers’ haunted past. As we set off into the night, the guide’s voice wove a tapestry of history and mystery, bringing to life the spirits that lingered in the shadows. The atmosphere was electric, and I could feel the energy of the city pulsing beneath my feet.

Our journey took us through the shadowy streets and alleys of downtown Fort Myers, each stop revealing a new layer of the city’s haunted history. From the Florida Repertory Theatre to the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center, the stories of mysterious disappearances and restless spirits were both chilling and captivating.

As a DJ and music producer, I’m no stranger to the power of a good story, and this tour was like an immersive, interactive theater experience. The guide’s voice was like a haunting melody, drawing us deeper into the narrative with each step. I found myself lost in the tales of the past, feeling the presence of those who had walked these streets long before us.
