FortLauderdale - Art Institute - Sunrise Hall Dormitory - A long time ago the dorms used to be a house of ill repute. There were said to be lots of murders in that house. Later it burned down to nothing. Time passed and a hotel was built there and it eventually became the A.I. dorms. There have been numerous reports from the second floor that the sound of moans come from the third floor around 1am. The sound of metal pipes being dropped and rolling across the floor can be heard in the ceiling. And the sound of high heels walking around the second floor hallway, if you wait 10 minutes the noise comes back again but it sounds more like running.

Been known to be the most active around the hours of late, between 11:00pm and 3:00am. Countless spirits haunt the establishment, as most popular apparitions making appearances seem to be; a man seemingly in his mid-40's wearing a duster pacing the downstairs area. A younger man, whom is in no terms of the word 'shy' as he will in static motion creepily advance to the front door, press palm and face against the glass and scare the passerby if they're caught staring and a little girl with shoulder-length curly hair, wearing a ruffled dress around the ages of 5-7, looking sullenly out the window. Several more can be seen upstairs as well as looming in the hallways, nevertheless, their presence is very clear and realistic like. Some cold spots and overwhelming energies, though experiences vary with the person.

There is also a knocking sound that can occasionally be heard coming from one of the doors leading from the hallway while movies are playing and whenever a children's movie is run in that auditorium, the projector will either stop during the middle of the show several times, or the film would get jammed in the machine.
Lantana - Red Lion Pub - There are three ghosts in this pub: a male, a blonde female, and a brunette female. The story says that before the pub was built, the blonde woman lived in that area. The man was in love with her, but their relationship was ruined by the brunette woman. Today, bottles and other objects fly towards brunettes and sometimes they feel a hand hitting their head. Blonde women feel their hair and face being gently stroked.
Miami - Coconut Grove - Field adjacent to LaSalle High School & Mercy Hospital - LaSalle High School is located at 3601 So Miami Ave in Coconut Grove. LaSalle High School and Mercy Hospital are adjacent to one another, the grounds are on the water's edge and you can view Biscayne Bay from there. The story originates from the 70's or 80's when supposedly a young girl attending the school (which is an all female Catholic high school), either committed suicide over a broken heart or took an accidental drug overdose in this field. In the suicide version, she was a student athlete, which is why she haunts the field, and has been seen occasionally during daylight hours at sporting events and has been mistaken for a participant. However she is usually seen at night, and even police officers patrolling the grounds have seen her shape and mistaken her for a security guard when none are hired to work there. Upon further inspection, no one is there. Most students who have attended this school are familiar with the stories about this ghost.
Miami - Deer Run-"Curtis Mansion"- There are reports of lights going on and off, door opening, and sightings of ghosts of visitors, children, and a man.

On one occasion security was called when people heard a fight going on in the garage. When security got there they could hear the yelling but could not find anyone there and then suddenly the voices stopped. It is not certain how many spirits are there but at times they do make themselves known.
Miami - Miami Beach - Colony Theater - Footsteps and ghost has been seen back stage and other unexplained events.
Miami - Miami River Inn - This is a beautiful hotel on the edge of Miami River in the oldest part of town. Henry Flagler and many U.S. Presidents stayed there during their visits to the city. It has been around since the early 1900's and has been restored a few times. In one of the cabins, there are many noises heard by the concierge and security guards. Many guests who check into the cabin complain about the noises and request a room change the next day. The noises that are heard are part of a series, almost like a night repeating itself at 11 PM every day. If you stay in the first front room, you can hear a door opening and shutting very loudly, feet wiping on the welcome matt and then a brief silence followed by running towards your room and a fierce shaking of the door knob, which you can even see move. The shaking gives up and is followed by the crashing and breaking of antique ornaments right outside of your room, then running up the front stairs followed by the opening of a door in the room above yours. The worst is what commences after a minute of silence in the room upstairs. For an hour, furniture can be heard moving, scraping and the room can be felt vibrating. Finally, the sound ceases and there is silence once again, try going to sleep after that.
Miami - Miami Senior High School - Miami Senior High School is a school made since the 1800's and many people have been killed by gangs or by other things, and now the spirits of that people are haunting the place. One time there was a girl of about 15 years old, she went to the girl's bathroom. When she entered she saw another girl with blood in his face and a knife between her right shoulder and her arm. She was so scared that she had to go to a doctor for attendance. Another day a security camera captured a men with a graduation dress walking on the auditorium at 10:43 PM, when the security went to see if there was somebody there he hear a scream and he found a black spot on the floor. There are too many things that makes this place haunted that I would take hours to explain.

He is claimed to be heard rummaging through the old janitors closet that has been locked up ever since the day of his odd disappearance.
West Palm Beach - St. Juliana Catholic School - The walls rattle during school and especially at night.
That's funny! I remember as a student at Southwest High in drama class we had some odd electrical problems because of faulty circuit breakers. Never heard about any deaths there though, of course I was only there from 1983-1986. I did spend a lot of time in the closed up Don Carter's Kendall lanes and heard strange noises and voices but the noises were the expansion of wood when the air conditioners went on and off, and the voices were from people parking outside and talking, yet I was always keeping an eye out when in that place by myself.
Many strange things. There was a room in back of me (how the houses were built back then) and I would hear knocks from it and once I heard a big crash in there like someone collapsed on the ground. I went inside to check, nothing there, nothing fell over, the room was completely empty, with no items or people inside. Odd. Maybe just a coincidence, right? The house is old, after all. However, after this kind of weird crap kept happening every night, such as seeing random flashes in the room, weird knocks, and even a few instances of what sounded like voices I was a bit spooked. But perhaps my mind was just playing tricks on me, but the final thing was the ice breaker. I heard the TV downstairs go on full blast.
"What the hell?", I thought. "No one's there, better go down and check what is it is".
The TV was blasting when I was on the stairway, and as soon as I got to the room with the TV on I heard it immediately shut off. I was skeptic before, but after experiencing this ****, maybe not!
Yea those old house in the north really make you a believer. I lived in a house that was over 90 years old and you do hear and see some stuff that freak you out, if anything i think most of those old houses are haunted and when you think about it, alot of people have lived in a house thats over 100 years old and alot has happened in 100 years.
At the blockbuster in Miami, a guy doesn't speak any English.........only Spanish, I think his tongue is haunted.
if that's how it works, all of Miami is haunted...lol.
