Haunted Tours returns to the Museum of Seminole County History, presented by the Seminole County Historical Society, with three nights of small-group, guided walking experiences through the museum campus. Tours last about an hour, group size is capped at 15, and most of the route is indoors in air-conditioned spaces, so the event runs rain or shine. An extra night has been added by popular demand. Guests may bring their own ghost-hunting tools or use equipment provided on site while a costumed guide shares accounts of uncanny happenings drawn from the museum’s past. Recent reports surround the 2026 Semiquincentennial exhibit, including unexplained footsteps after closing and speculation about a 19th-century preservationist unsettled by changes made during filming for a USA 250 documentary project. Stories highlight Seminole County’s colonial-era echoes, enduring museum legends, and incidents reported by staff, volunteers, and visitors. Along the way, the tour may touch on the figure known as Tio Juan, said to be linked to the remnants of the 3,500-year-old bald cypress called the Senator, lost to arson in 2012. The museum’s rare basement in Florida is often cited as the most active area, with tales of a poltergeist named Nick who is reputed to be unfriendly toward women. After a quiet spell, disturbances reportedly resumed in 2022 and intensified this year, possibly tied to the reappearance of a female spirit connected to his story. E-tickets are required and must be purchased online. All sales are final, no refunds are offered, and reselling is prohibited and will void the ticket. A confirmation email from the historical society serves as the e-ticket for entry.
