There’s more than history whispering from the wall of Downtown Fort Myers.
There’s more than history whispering from the wall of Downtown Fort Myers.
Fort Myers is a city that honors its past, but not all that is bygone is gone. If you know the right places to stop and listen closely, the streets have a story that has not ended and people who refuse to leave. An old school still welcomes students who graduated generations ago. A former mayor and business owner returns to help shoppers pick out the perfect gift. And then there’s Harvie in his hat still taking in a show and roaming the hallways he built over a hundred years ago. Paranormal author Christopher Balzano brings his three decades in the supernatural field to help you uncover the ghostly past and present of Downtown Fort Myers. Part storytelling, part ghostly experience, be prepared to learn the names of those who built the city and those who continue to linger there. You’ll hear the stories and feel the hairs on the back of your neck perk up. And just when you’ve convinced yourself it’s all in your mind, you’ll look at your phone and see the phantom judge waving back at you. Always local…always true…and always haunted.
