Discover the haunted heritage of beautiful Old San Juan on this walking tour.
Stop in front of the theater and find out who haunts the oldest operating stage in the Americas. See the Old Prison Building -- the oldest former prison in Puerto Rico -- and learn some of the secrets it keeps and the history it hides.
At Capilla del Santo Cristo de la Salud, hear about the legendary origins of this miracle chapel and pose for a photo at the gates of this architecturally stunning place of worship.
La Fortaleza -- the fort -- is renowned for many different reasons. Not all of them are in the realm of the normal. This is the oldest continuously used governor's mansion in the Americas.
The bones of Ponce de León's bones rest within the Catedral de San Juan Bautista -- the second oldest church in the Western Hemisphere. Few, however, would claim that he rests in peace.
The Hotel El Convento was once a convent and is now a luxury hotel. The Mother Superior still roams the hallways in spectral form.
Enter Castillo San Cristóbal the largest fort ever built in the Americas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and U.S. National Park. Listen for stories of Spanish soldiers who still patrol the grounds, and don’t miss the infamous Garita del Diablo (Devil’s Sentry Box).
Home to the tombs of Oscar Winner, Jose Ferrer and Twin Peaks' Miguel Ferrer, the Cementerio Santa Maria Magdalena de Pazzi is easily the most beautiful cemetery in the Caribbean.
Your guide will explain the melancholy and beautiful being that walks alone in the dark courtyards of the Gallery Inn at night.
What spirits still roam the barracks that became a United States military hospital after World War I? Take photos at one of Old San Juan's best examples of 19th-century Spanish architecture.
