Ghost Tours
Part of the charm of downtown Fort Pierce is that the (sometimes spooky) connection to its past is visible today.

The Spooky Stories of The Boston House
Each year around Halloween, spooky tales of ghost hauntings at the Boston House abound. This home (now on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places) along the waterfront in Fort Pierce is rumored to be haunted by a ghostly female who is in search of her family that has been missing for years. It has been reported that she still looks out the window in hopes that she will find them. Unusual sounds have been reported outside the house, and many families who have lived in the home years later have confirmed these eports. In the more recent decades, many have used this building as an office, and it has been said that papers and personal belongings often go missing or move around.
