Most who visit Robert are spooked by odd and unexplainable occurrences, voices and malfunctions of cameras when they attempt to take his picture. You’ll hear the story of his sordid past and present and see for yourself how possessed this doll truly is.

Legendary for its spirits, in more ways than one, Captain Tony’s Saloon is a Key West icon where Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams and many other famous folks frequented. The bar was many things in its past life, including the site for lynchings, hangings and the city morgue. The hanging tree used for public execution still stands today, growing right through the roof of the bar. It’s this history of death and disaster that is the cause for Captain Tony’s haunted reputation.

The Great Havana Hurricane of 1846 with its 200 mph winds and immense storm surge, flattened many of the island’s homes including the lighthouse. Unfortunately, the lighthouse keeper and her 6 children were seeking refuge from the storm inside the lighthouse when it was reclaimed by the sea. The keeper would survive, but the children would not. Lost and disturbed in the storm was the original settler’s cemetery. Scattered bones of the deceased strewn all over the island, a disturbance so dreadful, are not forgotten by the spirits of those interred.
