St. Augustine Ghost Tour: Paranormal Investigation Techniques

Licensed paranormal investigators, actual ghost-hunting gear, four stops with real history

A ghost hunting tour of St. Augustine led by paranormal investigators who teach the methods and devices used in the field, not just recount stories. The 90-minute tour visits the public burial grounds, City Gates, Castillo de San Marcos, and the state's oldest Catholic Cemetery, with guides debunking false tales and sharing documented evidence from their own investigations. You receive a Ghost Map of St. Augustine to explore additional haunted sites on your own.

The experience

This is not a theatrical ghost story tour. It's a working paranormal investigation. Your guide is a licensed paranormal investigator and member of P.A.St.A. (Paranormal Associates St. Augustine), and they'll teach you the actual devices, methods and techniques used in paranormal fieldwork. You'll visit four sites tied to documented hauntings and historical incidents: the public burial grounds, the City Gates, Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, and the state's oldest Catholic Cemetery. At each stop, the guide recounts the real history of the location alongside the paranormal activity reported there, and they'll debunk the false tales that have circulated for decades with no factual basis.

The tour runs 90 minutes and covers the core haunted sites on foot. Guides share their own evidence and experiences from investigations, so you're hearing from people who have spent time documenting activity at these locations, not reading from a script. You'll leave with the official Spyglass Travel Ghost Map, which marks additional sites of famous hauntings throughout the city that you can investigate on your own time. Bring a charged phone for photos if you want to document anything you find.
