About this experience
Go where other tours can't. Enter historic Fort East Martello after dark for an eerie encounter with Robert the Doll, one of Key West's most legendary paranormal figures.
Your experience begins with a 30-minute guided ghost tour through the Civil War-era fort, exploring its dark history, unexplained activity and stories gathered over decades.
Then you'll spend 30 minutes seated directly with Robert the Doll. Hear the documented history behind the legend, separate fact from folklore, and discover the latest unexplained activity surrounding Robert.
USA TODAY has named Fort East Martello one of America's Top 10 Haunted Destinations. This isn't a ghost tour that simply tells you about Robert. You'll enter his fort and meet him after dark.
