Highlights

Experience the magic of GPS playback on this stroll through St Augustine. This city was once a harsh place to live, and many have lost their lives trying to tame it. On this walking tour, you’ll hear about several hauntings in the city’s northern side and leave with a greater respect for what lies beyond the thin veil of life. During this ghostly adventure, your tour guide and ghost investigator, John Hippie Sanchez, will share some awesome stories. You’ll visit two of the oldest cemeteries in the city and a former Native American burial ground. You’ll also hear about Elizabeth, St Augustine’s most famous apparition, and you’ll find out why she has a dedicated police radio code. St Augustine’s history is long and tragic; on this tour, you’ll hear more than names and dates. You’ll see scars around every dark corner and learn the stories of locals who lived, died, and remain here. Most importantly, you’ll learn whether to stay and make contact or run for your life.

About St Augustine

St Augustine is a Florida town on the Atlantic coast, founded by the Spanish in 1565, with a coquina fort, narrow streets and Victorian-era hotels.

St Augustine was founded by the Spanish in 1565 and is the oldest continuously occupied European-founded settlement in the continental United States. The Castillo de San Marcos, a fort of pale coquina shell stone built by the Spanish between 1672 and 1695, guards the waterfront. The Spanish Quarter, pedestrian St George Street and the cathedral basilica sit within a few blocks, and the Bridge of Lions crosses to Anastasia Island.
