Downtown Orlando Historic District · Former Orange County Courthouse (Orange County Regional History Center)
US Ghost Adventures runs city-branded ghost walks in dozens of U.S. cities under local names; in Orlando the program is marketed as Orlando Haunts. The all-ages Ominous Otherworld Ghosts & Hauntings Tour meets at the Convergence Sculpture, 28 N Magnolia Ave, and covers about a mile of downtown Orlando on foot over roughly an hour, without entering privately owned buildings. A separate 21+ Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl runs up to 2 hours through the historic district's bars.
The route draws on downtown Orlando's history, including the former Orange County Courthouse (now the Orange County Regional History Center), the site of Ted Bundy's 1980 trial and conviction for the murders of two Florida State University students, and the former Old Orlando Railroad Depot and Strand Hotel. The operator's own site states its stories are drawn from historic reports, local folklore, and recorded sources. Two independent TripAdvisor product-review pages for the Orlando program corroborate that it is currently operating.

The operator's preview material highlights the Orange County Regional History Center, the former county courthouse where the operator states Ted Bundy was tried and convicted for the 1978 murders of two Florida State University students, with reported daily disturbances near the exhibit; The Kress Building, tied by the operator to a self-described UFO researcher who once lived atop the structure; and the Old Orlando Railroad Depot and Strand Hotel, a former brothel and saloon the operator connects to reported spirits of heartbroken patrons.
HauntBound could not verify a specific named Bundy victim referenced in the operator's marketing for the History Center stop and has omitted that name from this listing; Ted Bundy's 1980 trial and conviction in Orlando are independently documented history. All narrative material here is the tour operator's own marketing, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
