Why is Miami So Haunted?
Under the palm trees and blue skies lie a ton of spooky spirits. Miami is the only major city in the US founded by a woman. Julia Tuttle owned the land the town was founded upon and worked alongside railroad tycoon Henry Flagler to drive economic growth in the city. Miami faced hardships early on, such as a deadly freeze and a powerful hurricane, which slowed economic growth.
In the mid 20th century, immigration to the city from Caribbean countries like Cuba and Haiti shaped the city’s culture, and the Mariel Boatlift in the 1980s brought thousands of Cuban refugees. The city was also plagued by violence as cartels fought for control of the lucrative drug market.
Today, South Florida remains the capital of Latin and Caribbean culture in the US, and the city’s nightlife is said to be one of the best in the world. But the city’s also got plenty of haunts. The ghosts of Prohibition Era gangsters and rum runners can be found all over the city, in places like the Biltmore Hotel, the Villa Casa Casuarina, and the Coconut Grove Playhouse.
The ghosts of South Florida are lurking right around the corner…don’t keep them waiting! Book your Miami ghost tour with Lizzie Borden Ghost Tours today!
THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES IN MIAMI, FL
Casa Casuarina
You may not be familiar with the name Casa Casuarina. But you may know it from its original name: the Versace Mansion. That's right, the lavish palace where fashion mogul Gianni Versace lived, worked, and eventually met his tragic fate is right in the heart of Miami. Casa Casuarina was designed with many trap doors and secret passageways, not by Gianni's design but by the original architect, Alden Freeman. Some say you can hear the former residents of the casa shuffling through passageways in the walls and overhead while you sleep.
Betsy Hotel
The historic Betsy Hotel on Ocean Drive represents Miami’s first golden era: the 1920s and '30s. An architectural jewel and namesake of American heroine Betsy Ross, the hotel is also the site of some unique, historical activity. The Betsy has figured in almost every war effort since its foundation. It serves as a strategic naval and military base, given its access to the Gulf. But those historical events give it an eerie atmosphere, too—some say you can hear the marching footfalls of soldiers ringing through the halls at night.
Mac's Club Deuce
Mac's Club Deuce is an iconic dive bar in South Beach, where the liquor flows quick and the patrons are quicker. Pass through the pastel and neon exterior into a den of jukebox jives and ghostly vibes. The Club Deuce was the location for the wrap party for Miami Vice in the '80s, and that captures its lawless spirit, also playing home to drug dealers, rum runners, and other criminal types whose spirits you might see knocking spurs on moonless nights.
