Est. 1923 · Fort Pierce Historic Downtown District · Treasure Coast Commercial History
Fort Pierce, on Florida's Treasure Coast, developed as a fishing and trading port and later a citrus-shipping hub. The P.P. Cobb Building is among the oldest surviving downtown structures, built as a general store serving the town's early trade. The Sunrise Theatre opened in 1923 as a live-performance venue and underwent a major renovation completed in 2006. The Boston House is an early-20th-century downtown building now used as law offices.
US Ghost Adventures operates its 'Salt, Sorrow, & Shadow' program as a nightly, 1-hour walking tour meeting at the Boston House, 239 S Indian River Dr, covering eight stops through the downtown district including the P.P. Cobb Building and Sunrise Theatre.

According to the operator's marketing, the Boston House is associated with the spirit of a red-haired woman searching for a lost family member, said to move objects and papers. The P.P. Cobb Building is framed around an account of a stray bullet that killed a store associate rather than its intended target, with the operator describing an 'intelligent haunting' tied to the incident. The Sunrise Theatre is described as home to a phantom pianist and residual voices from its performance history, particularly following the building's 2006 renovation.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history verified independently for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
