Most Haunted Places In Fort Pierce, Florida To Visit
Following are the most haunted places in Fort Pierce, Florida, where the echoes of tragic deaths and forgotten souls linger in the darkness. These haunted spots have witnessed centuries of sorrow, and some say the spirits of the departed are not yet ready to rest.
Battered Womens Shelter
: "STRONG feeling of being watched all the time,unsetteling feeling when alone. Frequent noises and sounds of footsteps running up and down stairs almost nightly. Reports of phantom scratches appearing on residents. Windows opening on their own, even after they where sealed shut."
Chinese Buffet
: "This restaurant was closed down for selling cats and dogs as a meal. Before so, finding them enclosed in a locked freezer in the burnt kitchen, which killed three. People have spotted cats and dogs chasing former employees who lost lives in the fire, included the cook."
Old Antique Store
: "There is an old antique store sitting on a hill overlooking the St. Lucie River on US1 that is long rumored to be haunted. In the early 20th century, a man was brutally murdered by his wife on the staircase of their house which later became an antique store. When you come upon the second floor, the smell of cigar smoke seems to follow you around and you never feel completely comfortable. The stair on which the man was killed makes a horrible sound whenever it is stepped on and an old man was "pushed" down the stairwell on that exact stair a few years ago on Halloween night. The owners boarded it up after Florida experienced all of the Hurricanes and there is no word on whether or not it will open again."
Pace Center For Girls
: "In 1977,before the small building that is now Pace Center For Girls was an abortion clinic. Women use to go there for there abortions but didn''t know that all abortions were wrongly done. The women use to die a few nights later. Students at Pace Center For girls reportedly heard women crying in pain, especially in the bathroom and the small English classroom. No one has ever seen a ghost but has heard cries. The weird thing is, is that half the students who enter the small school always tends to get sick. Who knows maybe the ghosts are trying to make these young girls feel their pain. Also people in Fort Pierce say that they have seen lights switching on and off and verticals moving."
The Boston House
: "Is rumored to be haunted by a woman looking for her family that had been missing for years. It is said that she still looks out of the top window hoping to find her family. It''s now a lawyer''s office and papers or personal belongings become missing or moved around."
The Hilltop House Restaurant
: "Reported loud knocks when alone, chills. Eyes have been seen staring from the woods. - - November 2003 Update - has been torn down"
Indian River Community College
: "There have been sightings of a tall male figure in the theatre. This figure appears pale blue and has been seen in the broom closet on the left side of the stage. He has also been seen in the light and sound room. Sometimes the figure dances and waves, but mostly just watches people silently. Cold chills have been reported as well as soft gusts of wind."
