Learn chilling tales of executions, black magic and violent deaths on this ghost tour of Panama City—not for the faint-hearted!

Learn chilling tales of executions, black magic and violent deaths on this ghost tour of Panama City—not for the faint-hearted!

Tour Details

Do you want to learn the spooky stories of Panama City? To do so, we'll meet at the indicated time in front of the Arco Chato in the Old Town.

There, after a brief introduction, we'll hand out the ghost detectors and small torches to start exploring the nooks and crannies of one of the most iconic historic centres in Central America.

The first stop will take us in front of the Monastery of Santo Domingo, whose ruins still echo with the wailing of the monks who died in a fire. We'll tell you about the paranormal phenomena in this historic building and the sightings of unexplained shadows in its corridors. Will we be able to detect anything with our devices?

Then, still with goose bumps, a few steps away, we'll come across the Witch's Mansion, an abandoned residence where, according to legend, lived a woman who used to practice black magic. Because of this, the energy in this place will become very chilling as soon as we talk about her life.

In the Plaza de Francia, the atmosphere becomes even more gloomy. Public executions used to take place on its walls years ago. Many people claim to have seen spectral figures in the form of shadows. Do you have your detectors ready?

Lastly, among the alleys, we'll stop to discover the story of Captain Henry Morgan. As we talk about his pillaging and killings, we'll learn how his deeds left scars and echoes, which still manifest themselves in strange sounds and presences.

Finally, we'll close the evening in a restaurant to toast with a cocktail and say goodbye after 1.5 hours of sightseeing.
