Historic downtown DeLand
American Ghost Adventures is a locally owned, Central Florida-based paranormal tour company founded by lead investigator Ting Rappa, with more than 20 years in operation. DeLand is one of six city programs the company runs, alongside Orlando, Mount Dora, Winter Garden, New Smyrna Beach, and Sanford.
All three of the operator's DeLand products meet at the Boston Coffeehouse in the city's historic downtown district.

American Ghost Adventures is independently owned and operated, with its own website and FareHarbor booking account, and carries no branding connection to that or any other chain.

The operator markets its DeLand 2-Hour Investigation around recent and historic true-crime headlines told at the scenes involved, paired with a brief ghost hunt using provided equipment. Its own site does not name specific buildings or reported phenomena for the DeLand route beyond this general framing.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
