Calling all witches, warlocks, wizards, ghosts, goblins, and ghouls! Halloween—also known as All Hallows’ Eve and Samhain—is right around the corner! If you’re looking for the perfect place to host your Halloween bash in Miami, the historic—and famously haunted—Alfred I. duPont Building is the ultimate venue.
Discover the Haunted History of the Alfred I. duPont Building
The Alfred I. duPont Building, a Miami landmark, was constructed between 1937 and 1939 on the site of the old Hotel Halcyon. This iconic skyscraper is not only known for its stunning architecture but also for its eerie history. One of the most famous stories is that of Grant Stockdale, a businessman and close friend of President John F. Kennedy. In 1963, just ten days after Kennedy’s assassination, Stockdale fell to his death from the 13th floor of the building. The circumstances of his death remain a mystery, fueling the legend of his ghost haunting the premises.
Paranormal Activity and Spine-Chilling Sightings
The Alfred I. duPont Building has drawn the attention of many paranormal investigators, including Marlene Pardo Pellicer, host of “Stories of the Supernatural” and founder of the “Miami Ghost Chronicles.” This Halloween, on October 28, Pellicer will lead a special paranormal tour of the building, hosted by Exile Books in partnership with Lemon Yellow and the Downtown Development Authority. This event will also feature the release of a zine made with heat-sensitive paper, perfect for documenting supernatural encounters.
Here are some of the most chilling reports from the duPont Building:
- The Lady in White: A cleaning lady on the fifth floor has frequently seen a lady dressed in white. Her sightings have been confirmed by several others.
- The Burnt Face: A technician working on an air conditioning unit on the second floor reported seeing a badly burned face inside the unit that then disappeared.
- Running Faucets: In the unused floors of the building, faucets are known to run on their own in abandoned bathrooms.
- Vanishing Figures: Both a maintenance man and a cleaning lady have reported seeing mysterious figures of a man and a woman who vanish upon a second glance.
