THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Queen Isabel Inn is associated with reports of ghostly apparitions and unexplained activity experienced by guests. Visitors have described phantom footsteps, mysterious voices, shadow figures, and doors opening on their own within the historic inn. It is considered one of Port Isabel's haunted landmarks.
The 1906 Queen Isabel Inn, originally called the Point Isabel Tarpon & Fishing Club, was visited by President-Elect Warren G. Harding in November 1920. Despite some remodeling from hurricane damage in 1933 and 1967, the inn remains the area’s oldest business and hotel. Witnesses say disembodied footsteps are sometimes heard coming from the lobby when no one is there.
