Ghost tours

Business Idea:

Making money by giving ghost tours.

Overview:

Give hunted house tours for a profit.

According to some estimates, more than $5 billion a year are spent on Halloween decorations, costumes, and other must haves for the spookiest night of the year.  For some individuals, the opportunity to make money from people’s need to get frightened can be as easy as giving a tour of their house, or town.

In Florida, for example, the town of St. Augustine often makes the lists of America's most haunted places.  While the distinction maybe a bit unusual, it certainly sets the stage for a great business opportunity.  Giving town tours for a profit.

Sandy Craig, a local St. Augustine entrepreneur, understood the possibility of levering the town’s long history (It was founded in 1565,) and started Ghost Tours of St. Augustine.  The company offers various walking, riding and boat gosh tours for school groups that visit the town.    With an average of 25 tour guides, the business has been booming.

Recently the business was named No. 1 guided tour in Florida by a reader poll in Florida Living magazine. The company changes its tours annually for Halloween and adds new ghost stories as they're discovered and documented.  So far the town has more than 200 documented ghost stories to share with visitors.
