Old City Ghosts: Phantom Pirates & Poltergeists Tour
Experience the terrors and spirits lurking in the colonial shadows of this quaint Florida town with a history older than America itself!
Tour Meeting Location: All tours meet by the white obelisk monument in the center of the Plaza de la Constitución. This is across from the Cathedral Basilica in St. Augustine.
Since its founding several centuries ago, St. Augustine has been a hotbed of excitement and intrigue. The area has both physical and spiritual connections to a truly meaningful historical legacy. You could read about the Spanish occupation, the area’s connection with the slave trade, or the city’s struggle with bloodthirsty pirates.
Still, those accounts will skip over the true strangeness happenings to individuals now as a result of that history every single day. Join our St. Augustine ghost tour to experience that horrifying truth in person, at night, in the locations where it all took place. You will feel like a part of the city’s deranged and ghostly history.
The Casablanca Inn
While beautifully appointed today, the Casablanca Inn remains one of St. Augustine’s most haunted locations. It started as a refuge for traveling salespeople and a home for families. Though the woman who owned it struggled financially, she found ways to keep it open. In the days of prohibition, she felt enticed to allow illegal rum runners to smuggle alcohol into the city. She let them hide out in her hotel and sell the alcohol to her guests.
A1A Aleworks
A1A Aleworks is an excellent spot to get a cold beverage in St. Augustine – but there’s a little more in store than just a pint of beer. Rumors run amok that the city’s first residents still haunt the building. Buried in a cemetery below the structure, these discontented souls roam its halls, including three small, eerie children.
Castillo De San Marcos
Constructed in 1695, Castillo De San Marcos is the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States. War and destruction have met its walls fourteen times, but it has never been take. Despite all the bloodshed, the spirits haunting the fort are here thanks to jilted love. A bitter Captain entombed his wife and her lover inside a wall in the fort; now, their souls roam the Castillo forever.

Why You Should Book Your St. Augustine Ghost Tour Tonight!
You need a crash course in St. Augustine history
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.
You want something the whole family can do
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.
Non-Believer
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.
