Reported Haunting
The mysterious stone ruins at Old Fort Park have long inspired local legends and reports of paranormal activity. Visitors have described unexplained sounds, apparitions, and an unsettling presence around the ruins, whose uncertain origins have contributed to the site's folklore.
The ruins in Old Fort Park have always been a bit of a mystery. Why would the ruins of an old Spanish fort be here, where there was never a Spanish settlement? Perhaps the only one who knows the answer to the enigma is the site’s ghost. Witnesses say the apparition of a 16th-century Spanish soldier can be seen at the ruins, facing the horizon as if waiting for a ship.
