The Experience

I’ll admit, I didn’t expect to feel anything on this St. Augustine haunting tour — figured it’d be just old bricks and some spooky tales. But the first thing that hit me was the way the air changed as we stepped onto Aviles Street, like the city was holding its breath. Our guide, Lisa, had this way of pausing right before a story, letting the silence stretch until even the streetlamps seemed to lean in. She told us about a Boston banker who lost everything here — I caught myself glancing at those shuttered windows, half-wondering if someone was watching back.

The stones underfoot felt uneven (seriously, wear good shoes), and every so often you’d catch a whiff of something sweet near Casa de Horruytiner — roses maybe? Lisa said people sometimes smell them when they pass by at night. I tried not to trip while looking for ghosts; instead, I got caught up in little details: the soft scrape of dowsing rods in someone’s hands, the way laughter echoed weirdly off coquina walls. At one point she pointed out an old hospital on what she claimed is the oldest street in America. The story there wasn’t just creepy — it was sadder than I expected. You could almost hear something lingering in those stones.

There were moments when I forgot about “ghosts” altogether and just listened to Lisa talk about families who lived here centuries ago, or how investigators won’t even go into the old jail anymore. Someone tried using a ghost app on their phone (it mostly buzzed), and Lisa just grinned — “You never know what you’ll get.” We didn’t see anything dramatic but honestly, that made it feel more real. The city itself does most of the work anyway. I still think about that quiet walk back past shuttered doors and flickering lights — kind of wishing I’d asked one more question.
