CEDAR KEY, FLORIDA
ISLAND HOTEL INVESTIGATIVE OVERNIGHT IN HAUNTED CEDAR KEY, FLORIDA
JANUARY 17th, 2015
Cedar Key is a small barrier island off the coast of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. To say it is "Old Florida" is an understatement. Native Americans were living and worshiping here for over 5,000 years. This place was sacred to them. Later, the Europeans began settling the country and Cedar Key became an important port on the Gulf of Mexico. Pirates used the surrounding area to bury treasures and plan their attacks on Spanish, French and British ships. During the Civil War, the island was controlled by the Confederacy until the Union blockaded the island, and the Confederacy lost a battle near Number 4 Bridge. The Union controlled the island until the Confederacy retook the town near the end of the war. The town returned to its slow pace after the war and was actually thriving in 1885 when the population peaked at 1,887. In 2004, the population was 819.
The Island Hotel is the heart of this beautiful city. The restaurant and bar provide the locals a gathering place to gossip and catch up on the news of the day. It has been that way since it was built in 1859. It has been a post office, general store and hotel. In all of its history, it has gathered quite a few ghosts inside its seashell tabby and oak supported walls. Pirates, soldiers, murdered and life seems to do that. The Island Hotel is one of those places that you have to stay. In fact, the entire island is like a time machine that takes you back to a more simple time in history. The locals call it "Island Time". It will change you.
On August 9th, we will be taking over the Island Hotel for a Southern Ghosts' Investigative Overnight. We will have access to all of its haunted rooms. We will try to uncover some of the hidden history of this amazing property. This trip is incredibly limited, and it will be hard to book the whole property again.
This package includes:
