Not only is Sulphur Springs Tower one of the most haunted places in Tampa, but there is also a pretty interesting story linked to it. The tower that you see today was actually built to replace a tower that was once a marker on many pirate treasure maps!
According to local legend, it is now haunted by the spirits of long-dead pirates who are still searching for the treasure that was never found.
There have been sightings of a ghost ship flying a pirate flag and there are tales of a terrible sea creature that is seen on occasion in spectral form dragging a little girl down into the briny deep.
