Safety Harbor is one of those Florida towns that looks perfectly quiet from the outside. It isn't.
Led by Cynthia Dominick, certified tour guide, professional paranormal investigator, and founder of Silent Slayer Ghost Tours, this 90-minute walking tour covers the stories most locals have never heard. A hanging tree. A devastating fire. A murder connected to a possible brothel. A daring bank robbery. And a funeral home history saved for last.
The tour begins at City Hall, where since 2021 Silent Slayer has documented a firetruck phenomenon — one that starts before guests arrive and continues throughout the night, even on evenings Cynthia isn't in Safety Harbor. We present it as documented and let you draw your own conclusions.
The route stops at History Hall inside the historic Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, and includes an optional stop at a candy store that's home to the ghost of Tarzan. That's not a typo.
The highlight of this ghost tour is an interactive ghost hunting sampler at the Elf Tree, using dowsing rods, multiple spirit boxes, cat balls, and the flashlight experiment.
No costumes. No actors jumping from behind trees. Just one raccoon that once launched itself at Cynthia from behind the Elf Tree and made her swear in front of the whole group. Ghosts have never scared her. Raccoons, apparently, are another matter.
Cynthia also shares her personal picks for the best restaurants in town — but you'll have to show up to find out which ones make the list.
Safety Harbor's only ghost tour. Running since 2021. Still the only one.
Select nights at 8:00 PM / Ages 13+ / Limited to 15 guests / 90 minutes / From 35 per person

Since Silent Slayer began operating this tour in 2021 we have documented consistent firetruck activity at a specific location on the route — before guests arrive, during the tour, and after it ends. It has been observed on evenings when Cynthia is not even in Safety Harbor. We document everything and let guests draw their own conclusions.
