Itinerary

Stop 1

5 min Admission included

We venture inside the Rock City Rum Distillery, built atop old graves and the site of a former Lutheran church where several ministers died under mysterious circumstances. The building’s dark history and lingering energy make it one of St. Thomas’ most active paranormal locations, offering guests a chilling glimpse into the island’s haunted past.
99 Steps

10 min

We climb part of the iconic 99 Steps, one of St. Thomas’ most famous historic landmarks built by the Danes in the 1700s. As we ascend the brick staircase, guests learn about its colonial past and the spooky folklore tied to those who once lived—and linger—along its steep path.
Market Square

10 min

At Market Square, we explore one of St. Thomas’ most historic gathering places—once a bustling hub for trade and local life. As we walk through the square, guests hear stories of its layered past and the island folklore of jumbies, mischievous spirits said to roam after dark, keeping the old market’s energy alive in mysterious ways.
Hotel 1829

20 min Admission included

We step inside the historic Hotel 1829—one of the island’s most haunted landmarks. We explore its dimly lit corridors and rooms, including the infamous Room 5, using real ghost hunting equipment such as EMF detectors.

As we move through the mansion, we share stories of the hotel’s past residents, unexplained sightings, and paranormal encounters. This hands-on experience offers a rare opportunity to investigate a genuine piece of Virgin Islands history and feel the energy that still lingers within its walls.
Stop 5

10 min

As we walk along Dronningens Gade, one of St. Thomas’ oldest streets, we share tales of the town’s past—its bustling trade days, tragic fires that ravaged the city, and the lingering spirits said to remain among the rebuilt walls. Blending history with local folklore, this stretch of the tour reveals how St. Thomas rose from the ashes, yet never fully left its ghosts behind.
Fort Christian

10 min Admission not included

At the steps of Fort Christian, the oldest standing structure in the Virgin Islands, we uncover the island’s turbulent past of colonization, conflict, and piracy. Guests hear true tales of real pirates who once prowled St. Thomas—some meeting violent ends nearby. It’s said that the restless spirits of these seafarers still linger around the fort, their presence felt in the quiet night air.
