Apopka

Apopka Halloween

It was Halloween 2000. Darkness began to fall on our not so haunted house. We had always wanted to do a Haunted house but alas it was too late this year. Then I thought all is not lost. Being a lighting designer I do have quite a few special effects here at the house. So a special effect here , a spot light there. Mix in some scary music and the Apopka Halloween House was born. Just from the hour or so of work we put in the response was very positive... So we vowed that come 2001 we would do more.

Brooksville

Hernando Heritage Museum

Stringer House

John May bought the property in 1855. In 1856 he donated 15 acres to the county as a county seat. Mr. May lived in the house with his wife, Marena, and their daughter. After their deaths (his wife during child birth and his daughter at age 3) he remained for awhile and remarried, but eventually moved. The house was sold to Dr. Sheldon Stringer, who added on a room for his patients and added a special exit out of that room so the patients would not disturb his family. Jessie May was the daughter of John and Marena May. She was born in the house which is now the Hernando Heritage Museum. She also died there, when she was about 3 1/2 years old. Numerous people over the years have heard her crying for her mother. The docents have noticed that toys on display in the dining room area have been moved into the foyer or placed in different positions in front of the fireplace. On more than one occasion toys have been rearranged by a volunteer to be displayed on the floor in front of one of the fireplaces. This is done right before the museum doors are locked for the night. When the volunteer returns the next morning, the toys are arranged in a different way from how they had left them! Now, docents think that perhaps Jessie doesn't always like the way they are arranged, and fixes them to her liking! Right before one Mother's Day Tea the docents had displayed two teacups on the small table in front of the wood mantle. The next day there were three cups , and the day after there was four. The cups had been moved from the china cabinet to the table and no one knew by whom! Both Jessie and her mother are buried on the grounds of the museum, however there are no markers to indicate where. Jessie was the daughter of John and Marena May. She died when she was about 3 and a half years old. One day recently, a volunteer came in about 7:30 in the morning, long before the museum was to open at the noon hour. She heard loud noises in the attic. The strange thing was this volunteer knew nobody else was in the house! She suspects that Jessie was upset to be disturbed so early.  Also, sometimes on windy days, you can hear a faint, sad voice calling "Mommy....Mommy". It may be the wind whistling through the rafters. Or, it could be poor Jessie, calling for her lost mother.

HAUNTED GRIMM HOUSE

Enjoy a delightfully frightening, old-fashioned haunted house rising from the dead center of Old Town.

Legend has it that in 1886 this elaborate Victorian estate was constructed in the swamp for the Grimm family. The impressive residence housed the Grimm’s funeral business until, finally, in 1929, the family succumbed to their son’s growing insanity, the stock market crash and their butler’s penchant for murder.

One hundred years after its construction, Old Town grew up around the old Grimm house and its terrifying reputation. Fearful of unleashing the home’s spirits if they tore the place down, the Old Town council decided in 1993 to open the house to the public with the warning that they would not be responsible for what might happen to anyone inside its 4,000 “scare” feet of winding corridors and wicked rooms. Fortunately, not one guest has been reported lost to the two-story, 20-room house, although there have been some close calls.

When: Noon – 10 p.m., daily
Where: Old Town, 5770 W. Irlo Bronson Hwy., Kissimmee
Directions: One mile east of I-4 exit 64A (old exit #25A) on Hwy 192 in Old Town

HAUNTED HOUSE:

 Since 2002, I've designed a TOTALLY new Haunted attraction each year here in Lakeland, Fl. I try not to re-use the same gags two years in a row, so you get a different experience each year. I do a totally different layout, different theme/name, music, etc. I rely more on show quality, detail, theatrical style lighting, and of coarse live acting to create a quality show that people will think was worth the money, rather than spraying blood on everything, and throwing up a strobe light and some fake looking latex props. It's a family friendly haunt in the fact the I keep the gore factor to a bare minimum, but is still VERY intense with suspense, "distraction & suprise" scare gags, and detail!

Listed on the Florida and National Haunted Places Register, the Old Jail has been the site of countless supernatural occurrences.

Ghost Tours of St. Augustine
Voted “best of” Ghost Tours Locally and Nationally
 

(Saint Augustine, FL) – Based on voting by the public, Ghost Tours of St. Augustine has been voted Best Ghost Tour in Saint Augustine by the St. Augustine Record’s annual poll, #1 Ghost Tour in Florida by Monthly Magazine and voted 7th Best Ghost Tour in the nation by Haunted America. The original walking tour “A Ghostly Experience” has been featured on numerous television shows on the Travel and Discovery Channels, such as “Secrets,” “Sightings,” “Montel Williams” and more. These two new awards add to a host of previous honors, proving that people are not fooled by imitators.

This year is Ghost Tours of St. Augustine’s 13th anniversary and they are pulling out all the stops for their Halloween activities. Join the festivities and hear a mix of 13 ghost stories and ghostly trivia. Every 13th victim will receive a gift and all guests will be treated to a beverage at St. Augustine Coffee Co. There are no tricks this year only treats for the whole family. The Halloween activities will begin Friday October 26th and continue on the 27th and 31st starting at 7PM. All experiences are one-hour:

“A Nightmare To Wake Up From” beginning just south of the City Gates by the water wheel, and include visits with local supernatural guests. After you have a ghostly experience along the darkened streets you’ll find yourself at Potter’s Wax Museum and await a guided tour with a unique host. Beware of the figures in Potter’s not all are made of wax and some are looking to be replaced.

Those who prefer riding to walking may want to test the fortitude of their fear factor with “Ghosts and Legends” a tour of the town that also visits the lighthouse. It presents legends, murders and mysteries in the comfort of an enclosed, air-conditioned trolley.

If your sea legs need a workout, come aboard the 72-foot schooner Freedom for “Ghost of the Matanzas”, an interactive experience out on the dark night waters where a spectral pirate captain tells tales, provides you with grog and rations, and won’t make you walk the plank as long as you co-operate.

Ghost Tours of St. Augustine guides you through the quaint pathways of old Saint Augustine every night of the year presenting stories of the paranormal and supernatural from the archived vaults of the ancient city. Stories from “A Ghostly Experience” are also available in books, CD, cassette tape and videotape that may be purchased online or at Ghost Central located 2 St. George Street Unit 101.

For more information about special Halloween programs, including prices and tour times, call 904-829-1122 or 904-825-0087 ext. 208

(What do you get when you mix an experienced haunt designer, a motion picture production studio, a twisted storyline and scores of motion picture savvy teens? Answer? One very frightening Halloween event!
Early in 2006, George Colavecchio, well-known South Florida Haunted Event designer (A Haunting Experience - downtown West Palm Beach, Fright Nights at the South Florida Fairgrounds, Bloodlines - Tallahassee, FL) joined forces with the students and staff of G-Star School of the Arts for Motion Picture and Television Production to begin planning the school's largest fund-raising event!

Undertaken in the form of a voluntary class, students under the tutelage of Mr. Colavecchio, began the rigorous task of producing a premier Halloween event one step at a time. Student involvement began with the design and planning and continues through prop building, setup, lighting effects, staffing and - finally - the event itself. The result will be a 17,000 square foot haunted production both entertaining to visitors and professional in nature. Guaranteed to raise funds - AND your heart rate!

Almost 50 years after it's unexplained closing, the doors of Death Mask Studios once again stand open. 17,000 sq. ft. of Haunted Motion Picture Studio. What waits within? Relax, after all, it's only the movies - or is it?
