The operator's preview material highlights The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club, a historic hotel popular with MLB players in town to play the Tampa Bay Rays, which the operator ties to reported hair-raising encounters that keep some players away; Williams Park, which the operator connects to the reported afterlife haunts of Babe Ruth and Jack Kerouac, both real, long-deceased public figures with documented ties to St. Petersburg; and the S.H. Kress and Co. Building, a former five-and-dime store the operator ties to a paranormal investigation by the Paranormal Society of Bradenton.

  3. 3
    S.H. Kress and Co. Building
