Pirates, Peasants, and Poltergeists

In a town acutely aware of its place in history, sometimes the extraordinary finds itself hidden by the mundane. Old City Ghosts offers a unique and compelling look at the ghostly happenings lurking in some of the Ancient City’s darkest corners.

Being the oldest continuously European inhabited city in the United States means that plenty of people have come to St. Augustine. Some come looking for fame and fortune; some came to study its unique cocktail of cultural history.

However, most people don’t come looking for the ghosts, and they may miss the terror that much of the city is built on—or maybe they choose not to see it. Every quaint inn, trendy restaurant, or historical landmark is built upon a grisly and bloody past. Even seemingly mundane places, like a strip mall, a quiet diner, or a local park, are rife with physical or psychic remnants of tragedy, despair, or loss.

With Old City Ghosts, you will walk the same paths as ancient Native American warriors, Spanish Conquistadors, and dishonorable pirates. After experiencing the tour, you will understand the supernatural scars that linger in places after tragic fires claim the innocent’s lives.

Benevolent Ghosts abound.

Your trip through St. Augustine’s storied history will help you understand the impact history can have on a place, all while making the hair stand up on the back of your neck.

Like the haunted Casablanca inn and its previous owner, who made a deal with bootleggers in the 1920’s trying to bring stolen liquor ashore.  She was in financial difficulties and earned a nice cash bonus for warning bootleggers when the coast was not clear by waving a lantern in a sea-facing window.

Recently a fisherman saw the same swinging lantern several times and booked a room at the inn to satisfy his curiosity. That night he woke up in the room only to see a wispy figure of an older woman standing in the window waving a lamp. She turned to face him and shouted over and over that he had to “get out”!

Staff who came in response to his anguished cries all smelt a strong smell of gas; a technician was called, only to find a hairline crack in one of the downstairs gas pipes. The inn was saved thanks to a ghost from the time of bootleggers.

With so many tours and activities to choose from Old City, how do you choose which ones to book?

7 Reasons Guests Should Go on the Old City Ghosts Tour!

Reasons

All the locations have been key in the long and important history of the oldest continually inhabited European settlement in North America. Not only will you get a vivid look into the history, but you will be able to recall the facts because they are a crucial part of the terrifying and memorable stories of human misery and ghostly hauntings.

For example, in St Augustine, the first church was built around the year 1500, somewhere during its hard, early days, several children died within, in mysterious circumstances. They were quickly buried in a shallow grave and covered by a thick timber joist. Flash forward to a wine store on the same spot doing renovations in 2016, and they needed to remove that very same joist.

An Archeologist uncovered the remains, and a recent whole slew of ghostly sightings of maimed and disfigured children that had been seen in the wine bar started to make much more sense.

Reasons

While the tours are scary, they are also family-friendly and completely accessible. At just over a Disney movie in length, the standard tour will keep even the shortest attention span engrossed in history, culture and human stories to entertain and thrill!

Like the story of Plaza de la Constitución – the site of the oldest public park in the United States. Also, the place where the necks of dozens of the different invaders of the city were broken by the hangman’s noose!  You’ll hear the story of the surprise morning fog that enveloped a local resident on their way to work.

Reasons

The ghost tour is fun, even for the non-believer. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, you will enjoy the stories told and learning more about each location.

Reasons

Whether you are traveling through or staying for a while, or even if you live here, the Old City Ghosts tours are a must-do!

Reasons

The tours fill that awkward time slot after dinner but before bed, the daytime has several other demands placed on it which is why an evening ghost tour is a perfect way to get more out of your trip. There are different start times to choose from and the standard tour wraps up in around 60 mins and finishes right in the middle of town, an easy hop to your next destination.
