Palmetto Historical Park and 1914 Carnegie Library · Palmetto's Civil War-era and yellow fever history
Silent Slayer Ghost Tours LLC was founded in 2021 by Cynthia Dominick and is based in Safety Harbor, Florida, with programs across the Tampa Bay area including Safety Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Tampa, and Palmetto. The Palmetto Ghost & History Tour is led by Ginger Mason, a paranormal investigator known within the company as the 'EVP Queen' for her focus on recording spirit-box and EMF evidence during tours.
The tour begins on the steps of the 1914 Carnegie Library at Palmetto Historical Park, a Manatee County-operated historic site preserving Palmetto's first post office, a cottage museum, and a one-room schoolhouse. From there, the route covers downtown Palmetto locations including the J.A. Lamb House and the Riverside Bed & Breakfast, framed against the city's Civil War-era and 19th-century yellow fever history. The tour has been listed by AAA's Trip Canvas travel guide and carries an active booking presence on Viator and GetYourGuide.

The route ties reported activity at Palmetto Historical Park, the J.A. Lamb House, and the Riverside Bed & Breakfast to the city's documented Civil War history and a 19th-century yellow fever epidemic that struck the area.
