Take a tour of five of Miami’s most haunted places on this week’s Miami Oculto podcast

We’ve got a terrifying podcast for you just in time for Halloween.

In this special Halloween episode of Miami Oculto, we take a tour of the five most haunted properties in South Florida, according to ghost hunter David Pierce Rodriguez of P.R.I.S.M Paranormal Research.

Listen to ghost stories from Villa Paula, Cape Florida Lighthouse, better known as the ‘farito,’ the Gold Coast Railroad Museum, Deering Estate and Seminole Theater.

Watch to the podcast here:

Villa Paula

This property was designed by the Havana architect Cayetano Freira and built in 1926 as the Cuban consulate and residence of the consul, Domingo Milord and his wife Paula Milord. Paula’s name still appears in plaster over the entrance to the Little Haiti house, and according to our paranormal expert, Paula’s shadow can be seen in the window.

Cape Florida Lighthouse

Built in 1825, this lighthouse located on Key Biscayne is the oldest structure in Miami-Dade and is a time capsule containing a wealth of Florida stories. Cape Florida Lighthouse has survived nearly 200 years of erosion, dozens of hurricanes, an attack by Seminoles, and an explosion. Yet through all the tribulations, it still stands and according to the ghost hunter, is haunted.

Gold Coast Railroad Museum

The Railroad Museum in Kendall was founded in 1957 and built on the former Richmond Naval Air Base, which was the second largest aircraft base in the United States during World War II. The Railroad Museum became one of three Florida State Railroad Museums in 1984. Some say they hear voices in the cars.

Deering Estate

This property was the home of Charles Deering in Florida until his death in 1927. Deering Estate has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986. For more than 30 years, researchers have studied the ecological, geological and unique archaeological features of the property. Now it serves as a museum and a wonderful place to hold events. But there’s something out of the ordinary going on there, says ghost hunter David Pierce Rodriguez.

Seminole Theatre

The Theater originally opened in 1921 as a movie theater, primarily showing the popular silent movies. It is currently being restored as a multidisciplinary performing arts, education and conference center. It is located in Homestead. Ghost tours are held here and we’ll tell you why in this week’s podcast.

See if you can make it to the end of the episode without getting the creeps.
