Just don’t forget to bring a flashlight and maybe a friend to hold on to.

Mortem Manor

Mortem Manor is a year-round haunted attraction in Kissimmee that delivers serious scares and spine-tingling storytelling. Once upon a time, this monstrous two-story mansion, located in the heart of the Old Town Entertainment District, belonged to the reclusive Mortison family, known for collecting rare and ancient artifacts. But the Mortisons vanished under mysterious circumstances. And the new residents? Let’s just say they’re a little less neighborly.

Step inside and come face to face with ghouls, ghosts, witches, and one very persistent chainsaw-wielding creep as you navigate pitch-black hallways and unsettling scenes. This Florida haunted house is dark — really dark — but don’t worry, your fiends (er, friends) at the front door will provide a flashlight. Just make sure you don’t drop it, or you might become part of the exhibit.

Main Street Ghost Tours 

Presented by the Osceola County Historical Society and led by local guides who know every eerie tale, these walking ghost tours explore the historic streets of Downtown Kissimmee and surrounding areas. You’ll hear stories of unexplained encounters, haunted buildings, and restless spirits from the city’s past — including the Osceola County Courthouse, one of the oldest operating courthouses in Florida, and the Beaumont House, a Victorian-style home with a reputation for paranormal activity. Backed by historical records and local legend, these tours are a must for paranormal enthusiasts, history lovers, and anyone curious about the ghost stories that linger just beneath the surface.

Shingle Creek Cemetery

Tucked inside Shingle Creek Regional Park, this historic 19th-century cemetery is a quiet, moss-draped resting place for some of Osceola County’s earliest settlers. The headstones tell stories of pioneer life, loss, and legacy, and the area’s haunting stillness at dusk has led many to wonder if the past really stays buried. 

Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures – After Dark

Not all haunted experiences involve ghosts. Sometimes, it’s the setting that does the chilling. At Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures, a sunset or nighttime ride through the headwaters of the Everglades offers a thrill of a different kind. Cypress trees cast long shadows, gators lurk just beneath the surface, and the sounds of the swamp create a natural soundtrack to an unforgettable evening. And when the flashlight beam hits just right, you’ll spot the glow of little eyes peering out from the darkness — dozens of gators watching from all around. It’s spooky, scenic, and unmistakably Florida.
