Key West Ghost and Mysteries Tour is an independently operated 90-minute walking tour of Old Town Key West. The company's marketing describes over 20 years of research into the island's haunted and unusual history, and the tour draws a substantial base of TripAdvisor reviews naming specific longtime local guides, including "Southernmost Ted" and a guide named Susan, both repeatedly praised by name across multiple years of reviews as knowledgeable about Key West history and local ghost lore. That sustained, guide-specific review record independently corroborates that the tour has operated for an extended period.
The operator's own site additionally states the tour has been "Featured On Discovery Channel, CNN, Travel Channel, & Biography Channel," but provides no episode names, air dates, or other verifiable detail for those claims, so they are treated here as unverified marketing rather than confirmed media appearances.
Sources
The operator describes the tour as drawing on over 20 years of research into "the haunted and bizarre aspects of Key West," delivered through a 90-minute walk of Old Town led by guides reviewers describe as knowledgeable and entertaining storytellers who bring paranormal-investigation props along on the route.
This is the tour operator's own marketing description of its content, not documented history or a paranormal claim independently verified for this listing; it is included here to describe what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific haunting claim. The operator's stated TV/media appearances (Discovery Channel, CNN, Travel Channel, Biography Channel) are unverified and are noted as marketing claims only.
