Summary
Miami’s haunted history hides behind luxury façades. Built in 1926, the Biltmore Hotel rose as a playground for the wealthy, but it wasn't long before its reputation shifted due to a massive shootout between mobsters. During World War II, the hotel became a military hospital, and today guests report phantom footsteps, flickering lights, and apparitions drifting through ballrooms and corridors. Just miles away, the Deering Estate sits atop ancient burial grounds, it's quiet beauty masking something older and unsettled. Built by Charles Deering, the estate is now said to be plagued by shadow figures, disembodied voices, and restless spirits tied not just to the house—but to the land itself.
