Tarpon Springs Ghost Tour — Haunted History & True Crime

The original Tarpon Springs ghost tour. Led by screenwriter and local guide Ace Chapman. Real history. Real true crime. No theatrics. This walking tour covers the story of Marshal Ruben Jones — described by a former Mayor as "the toughest, meanest, killingest man" in Tarpon Springs. Elected Marshal for 12 straight terms. Shot a man in the back at Spring Bayou. Tried and acquitted. Found with 80+ bullet wounds on a hunting trip. Case unsolved. His gold badge is at the Tarpon Springs Police Department. Guests use dowsing rods at the historic Train Depot and a spirit box during select moments. Many have heard their own names. There is also Mary — a documented spirit who responds to Ace on demand. Her story is shared on the tour. No costumes, no actors, no fake equipment. The original Tarpon Springs ghost tour. Running since 2023. Badge of Excellence on Viator.
