Summary

St augustine haunted pubs laughter ghost stories & local legends

You’ll walk through historic St Augustine’s haunted pubs with a local guide, swapping ghost stories over drinks and picking up odd bits of history along the way. Expect laughs, maybe a chill or two, plus time to chat with locals before heading home with your own quirky souvenir—and probably some stories you’ll want to retell.

What’s the experience like?

You know that feeling when you step into an old bar and the air just feels... heavier? That’s how our night started in St Augustine, right at the first stop of the haunted pub tour. The wood floors creaked under us, and I swear there was a whiff of something sweet and musty—maybe rum, maybe just history. Our guide, Mike (who looked like he’d seen a few ghosts himself), grinned and asked if we were ready to meet some “spirits”—the liquid kind first. Everyone laughed, nerves mixing with excitement. I definitely clutched my pint a little tighter than usual.

We wandered through a few dimly-lit streets between pubs, the old bricks shining slick from a quick rain earlier. Mike kept tossing out these wild stories about St Augustine’s haunted history—apparently one pub used to be a morgue? I can’t say I expected that. At one point, someone in our group tried to snap a photo of an upstairs window where people have claimed to see faces; nothing showed up except our own reflections and some blurry lights. There was this moment outside the third bar where everything went quiet for a second—just distant laughter from another alley and the faint sound of jazz drifting out from somewhere. Weirdly peaceful.

I liked how nobody rushed us; we could actually chat with locals at the bar (one woman told me she’d seen “something” move behind the bottles once—she winked but I’m still not sure if she was serious). The souvenir they gave us at the end is sitting on my shelf now—a little reminder of that night. Honestly, I left with more questions than answers about ghosts in St Augustine, but also with new friends and that strange sense you get after sharing stories in places older than your own grandparents.
