The Ghosts of Fort Zachary Taylor: Civil War Soldiers and the Noon Execution

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the You Two Scare Me Podcast, Andi and Feliz explore the haunted history of Fort Zachary Taylor (or "Fort Zach" to the locals). Built in 1845, this National Historic Landmark sits on the southern tip of Key West and holds the largest collection of Civil War cannons in the United States. But beyond the impressive masonry and military history lies a darker story of forced labor, disease, and restless spirits.We dive into the chilling reports of ghostly soldiers seen marching in formation after hours and the unsettling "noon execution" phenomenon. Why do visitors feel nauseous and experience sudden temperature drops near the site of the former gallows? We also share the terrifying encounter of a visitor named Abigail, who came face-to-face with the spirit of Lieutenant McClure, a man charged with treason who still begs for water from his cell.Join us as we wander through the shadows of Fort Zach and share a bone-chilling Somebody Told Me segment from Feliz's own mother about a 1970s seance that went horribly wrong.Do you have a spooky story that you’d like included in the You Two Scare Me Podcast? Check out our website at: www.youtwoscaremepodcast.com and go fill out the “Somebody Told Me…” form.
