Explore the heart of America’s Cult City
Behind the sunny beaches and palm trees of Clearwater lies a darker story—a downtown transformed by a powerful, secretive cult that watches your every move.
Engaging Local History
Once a quiet town known for its beaches and relaxed atmosphere, Clearwater’s downtown underwent a dramatic transformation in 1975, when a secretive organization began purchasing property under the codename “Project Normandy.” What locals initially believed was a hotel chain investment turned out to be the organization establishing its “spiritual headquarters,” forever changing the character and economy of downtown Clearwater.
Expert Guided Tours
Our tours are led by former cult members who lived and worked within the organization for years, bringing an authentic insider perspective that you can’t find anywhere else. These aren’t guides who simply read about the subject—they experienced it firsthand and can share nuanced insights and answer your questions with the depth of knowledge that only comes from personal experience.
Interactive Experience
This isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a live, interactive experience. As our tour moves through downtown, you’ll see doors and windows slam shut suddenly, zombie-like people hurried indoors by security personnel, and men in suits following at a distance. You may also experience harassment from members driving luxury vehicles as they pass by, all part of the organization’s well-documented intimidation tactics that have become routine in downtown Clearwater.
Tour Overview
Experience a 90-120 minute walking tour through downtown Clearwater, where you’ll learn how a secretive organization quietly seized control of an entire city center, transforming it into their heavily surveilled Potemkin village.
Step One: Join Your Guide
The moment you drove into downtown, cameras captured your license plate and facial recognition software began tracking your presence—you’re already being watched. Meet your guide at our designated starting point where they’ll reveal what the organization doesn’t want you to know, and prepare you for what you’re about to witness on the streets ahead.
Step Two: Explore Downtown
Your guide leads you through a maze of eerily vacant storefronts and silent streets where a thriving downtown once bustled with life—each building holds secrets of how it was acquired and the businesses that were driven out. Behind these darkened windows and locked doors lie stories of intimidation, mysterious purchases, and the systematic takeover of an American city, with more than a few buildings harboring truly dark chapters in their past.
Step Three: Engage & Learn
As you explore downtown, white vans circle the blocks while uniformed members with eerily blank stares appear on the streets before security guards quickly hustle them back inside—you’re watching the organization’s daily operations unfold in real time. Once this tour ends, you’ll be marked and unwelcome in this controlled territory, so take your final photos and memories before departing to the friendlier, freer parts of Clearwater that await just beyond these surveilled streets.
