Stuart's Ghost Stories, From the Owl House Past Confusion Corner
A guide with a lantern leads seven evening stops in downtown Stuart, with a ghost story told outside each one.
Stuart Ghosts, a US Ghost Adventures operation, runs this walk through Stuart's downtown historic district. The listing names seven stops, from the Owl House to the Old Colorado Inn, and the guide mixes local history with reported ghost stories.
Book the 8:00 PM slot if it works for you: as of October 24, 2026, it is the only departure on the operator's own calendar, and it runs every night. This listing also sells 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM slots, and every booking is confirmed by hand, so wait for that confirmation before planning the rest of the evening.

The listing gives each stop seven or eight minutes, which adds up to 52 of the 60. The walking in between covers about a mile by the operator's count. Expect to stand more than you walk, in the comfortable, weather-appropriate shoes the operator recommends. One guest summed it up in May 2026: "This tour combines Stuart history with reported ghost stories. Easily walkable."
The listing marks the walk as wheelchair accessible and suitable for all fitness levels, and as not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. The operator's own FAQ says not all of its tours are wheelchair accessible and asks wheelchair users to confirm with it before booking.
Bob at the Lyric, and the Tracks at Confusion Corner
The stories come from the listing's own notes for each stop. At the Owl House, glowing-eyed serpents, floating corpses and ghostly lights. At the Stuart Boathouse, a Spanish fleet wrecked in 1715. At the Lyric Theatre, which the operator dates to 1925, a man named Bob who fell from the roof during a renovation and is said to whistle.
At Confusion Corner, where several roads and the Florida East Coast Railway meet, a spirit walking down the tracks. The listing places the Devil Tree in Memorial Park, and spirits said to crash a party or two at the Court House Cultural Center. Each story is told from outside: the operator says this walking tour does not enter privately owned buildings or private property.
Tickets, Dogs and Phones
This listing sells a single ticket type, for ages 13 and up. The operator's own Stuart page markets the walk as all ages, but this listing has no ticket for anyone younger. One booking takes up to 30 travelers. The operator's FAQ says dogs are welcome if they are not disruptive, but the listing mentions only service animals, so check with the operator before bringing a pet. Photos are fine, but the operator asks guests not to film video. Smoking is not allowed on the walk, and guests are asked not to talk while the guide is telling a story. One guest's advice from August 2025 was two words: "Take water."
Rain, Refunds and the Tip
The operator runs the walk rain or shine and says it will contact guests when a tour is cancelled. A guest writing in June 2025 found the guide waiting outside in pouring rain with a single umbrella, and says the company refused a refund for the weather. On this booking, cancelling at least 24 hours before the start returns the full price, and inside 24 hours nothing comes back. The listing does not cancel for bad weather. On an unsettled night, bring a rain jacket.
The guide's tip is not included. The operator says electronic tips through Cash App, Venmo or Apple Pay are accepted.
📍 Meet outside the Owl House, 100 S Colorado Ave, a 1904 riverfront home whose four-pointed gable roof, in the Old Colorado Inn's description, resembles an owl's head. Arrive 15 minutes early: the operator's terms give no refund to guests who arrive late or can't find the meeting point. The guide wears a US Ghost Adventures t-shirt and carries a lantern. The last stop is the foot of the Old Colorado Inn, where the listing says the Ashley Gang still comes looking for revenge.
