The experience

I almost missed the meeting spot because I got distracted by a weirdly sweet smell coming from an old doorway: our guide, Mike, joked it was “residual energy” or maybe just someone’s cinnamon tea. That set the mood for our Saint Augustine paranormal investigation. We were a small group, just six of us, and right away Mike handed out these EMF meters. I’d never held one before: felt like I was about to break it, honestly. He told us not to expect anything dramatic, just to pay attention to the little things: cold spots, flickers in the corner of your eye, that kind of thing.

We started near one of those centuries-old stone walls. The air felt heavier there: maybe just humidity but I couldn’t shake it. Mike shared a story about a woman who’s supposedly seen wandering here at dusk (he said her name but I forgot, sorry). Someone in our group tried asking questions out loud. Nothing happened except a passing trolley made everyone jump. Still, when my meter blinked once by an iron gate, my heart actually sped up for a second. It’s silly how quickly you start believing your own nerves.

There was this moment behind an old inn where everything went quiet except for some distant laughter from a bar down the street. Mike asked us to close our eyes and just listen. I swear I caught a whiff of pipe tobacco (no one else did), and it brought up this odd mix of comfort and goosebumps. The tour isn’t really about scaring you. It’s more like learning how to look at Saint Augustine differently at night, with all its layers and stories. I still think about that silence behind the inn sometimes.
