Tour guide was knowledgeable about the history of the city and made it fun! This was not a jump out and scare you tour, which I think are hokey. We heard real stories about the residents of the city and how they passed. There were some possible paranormal incidents that happened along our tour as well. Highly recommend.

Super creepy, accurate, real ghost stories.

Great guide and stories. The tour started slow but the background history and insane haunted history set the tone for the rest of the ghost tour. It wasn't scammy or cheesy -- stories were real with historical basis. Had no idea that much crazy s*** happened in St. Augustine.

Preview The Most Haunted Locations In St. Augustine

The casablanca inn.

While beautifully appointed today, the Casablanca Inn remains one of St. Augustine’s most haunted locations. It started as a refuge for traveling salespeople and a home for families. Though the woman who owned it struggled financially, she found ways to keep it open.

In the days of prohibition, she felt enticed to allow illegal rum-runners to smuggle alcohol into the city. She let them hide out in her hotel and sell the alcohol to her guests.

A1A Aleworks

A1A Aleworks is an excellent spot to get a cold beverage in St. Augustine — but there’s a little more in store than just a pint of beer.

Rumors run amok that the city’s first residents still haunt the building. Buried in a cemetery below the structure, these discontented souls roam its halls, including three small, eerie children.

The Spanish Military Hospital

The Spanish Military Hospital in St. Augustine was once the famed site of miserable treatments passed off as healthcare.

The building sits atop an ancient burial ground, whose identities are still a bit of a mystery. At first, many thought it was the Timucuan Indians, but they now believe these to be the bodies of an original native tribe forced out or killed by genocide by the Timucuans.

Welcome to Old City Ghosts

America’s oldest city becomes its most haunted after centuries of heartache and tragedy.

St. Augustine is a city long haunted, even before European settlers laid the foundation of what would be the oldest city in the United States. With all its post-colonial hardship. memories of mass graves for children under the age of seven, and bank managers jumping out windows, Old City only became spookier…and more haunted.

For a carnival-filled adventure full of bone-chilling ghost stories, gruesome encounters, and horrifying accounts of true events, sign up for the Old City Ghosts tour tonight. Walk in the very place where the United States was born, where dreams died, and nightmares came alive to discover what remnants of disturbing history our bloody ambitions left behind.

WHAT WILL I SEE?

Pirates, pillagers, plagues, and pain: experience florida’s most ancient, terrifying, and haunted town.

Visit this Conquistador period landmark and see the darkened underbelly of one America’s oldest and most haunted cities. Travel with us through some of the most frightful of Florida historic spots, and experience the hauntings at places that have been featured in dozens of ghost-filled documentaries and research papers.

You will explore neighborhoods that have heard the clanking of chains, the volley of pirate cannon fire, and the howls of five-year-old boys, like James Morgan, swept up by tragedy. Get a glimpse of some of the restless dead that prowl some of its most iconic tourist landmarks, like Randolph of the Casa de Sueños or the small child–some say demon– whose inhuman screech has terrified dozens of tourists who venture into The Fiesta Mall.

The Matanzas Hotel, now the Casablanca Inn, served as both a boarding house as well as an off-the-books bootlegging operation during the Prohibition Era. Behind its walls, its madame ran an illicit goldmine that flooded the streets with all manner of contraband and narcotics. Nothing was off the table as long as it brought in the cheese. Her spirit was full of ambition and a lust for power seldom seen, and so she committed all types of hideous amoral crimes.

To this day, what remains of her corrupt soul, continues to protect her fiefdom. Join an Old City Ghosts tour and this will be just one of the many apparitions and ghosts you will encounter that menace the Oldest and Most Haunted City in the country.

A bloodied history built on the backs of long ancient bones.

Years before Plaza de la Constitution served as both a slave auctioning ground, as well as a vibrant public venue to hang and quarter pirates, the area known as the “Hippo” had seen its fair share of tragedies. Something vile and sinister already called the Matanza Bay Colony its home.

The region was an ancient Indian burial ground, a place both holy and sacrilegious for the natives.

Thousands upon thousands of human remains plagued most of the now cobbled-stone streets. Rotting bodies, most maimed and injured during the many tribal wars, swamped the area. The natives were wary of the area and the restless dead that were already haunting the area from beyond the veil. Most would not venture into it after dark.

However, when the Spaniards arrived, they balked at the superstitious nonsense. laughed at all the pagan clap-trap, and proceeded to erect stone forts, memorials, buildings, and even the legendary Spanish Military Hospital over the sacrosanct burial grounds. To the dismay of the natives, they desecrated an already supernatural spot and sneered at its predators.

Embark on a spine-tingling Old City Ghosts tour to find out how the ghosts and the darkness stirred with indignation and cursed them and their ancestors to be haunted for the rest of time.

Some of the buildings, now mostly replicas of the original, are quite literally built over native burial grounds. Experts have found untold remains underneath their capstones and foundations.

On this ghost tour of St. Augustine, you will hear and perhaps even witness the ragged remains of ghosts that call the city their own. The stories of the Waiting Bride, of the boy ghost that tricked a brother to murder his sister, of the thing that calls the Spanish Military Hospital its hunting ground– these tales will be told in all their gory glory, and the apparitions who are cast as the main characters will all wait to be encountered. That they are the stuff of legends makes them no less real or terrifying.

WHY IS ST. AUGUSTINE SO HAUNTED?

Fog and futility of war, endless battles and blood, and history of endless conquest and conquistadors.

When Europeans first landed on the coast of Florida, their intentions were laid bare almost immediately — they came for the thrill of the conquest and spoils of war. Hundreds upon hundreds of natives and European refugees – seeking asylum in the new world from religious persecution – were brought to the sword. Each inch of land was claimed through the sharp end of a dagger.

The area’s first geographical landmark was called “Matanza Bay” – which is translated to “Carnage” Bay – and you can imagine why. As the years plowed on, the bloodshed only deepened. New players came for their pound of flesh, such as English pirates like Robert Searle and other cutthroat criminals from deep in the south, and even the likes of El Draque himself, as the Spanish called him, the legendary privateer and pirate hunter– Sir. Francis Drake. Muskets became a daily fashion garment, and the city was constantly leveled by fire while pillage and mayhem rained yearly.

Sieges evolved and what were once skirmishes against hoodlums and invaded armies, became close-quarter combats between brothers during the Civil War. And the town continued on, bathing in all the gore. After the Civil War, the Seminole Wars entered the lime-light and Florida was plunged into yet more bloodshed — and St. Augustine served as its ringmaster.

On the masoned jail cells of its Fort hundreds of captured slaves languished and on the parapets of the Castillo de San Marcos, Geronimo’s family and his valiant crew of natives cried for the land that was taken from them, and the freedom they now hungered for.

St. Augustine is a land filled with historical wrongdoings and the crimes that made the US what it is today. The earth it now sits in has been mired in hardship, and an untold army of ghosts demand retribution for their pains. St. Augustine is haunted because it is where the real cost and consequences of history and the original American Dream can be viewed firsthand.

What’s so special about the St. Augustine Ghost tour?

A once-in-a-lifetime experience — an adventure you’ll cherish ‘till the end..

Come with expert local guides, as we walk through moonlit cobblestone streets, and stand under the wooden and brick buildings that once housed the likes of Sir Francis Drake, Geronimo’s Family, famous Chicago mobsters, and even the man who opened Florida to the masses, railroad tycoon Henry Flagler.

You will hear, see, and feel something otherworldly, unforgettable, and frightening. Encounter the ghosts and poltergeists, and other unexplained energy and events that cling to St. Augustine with an iron grip even after their expiration date.

Each stop has its own take on what it means to be haunted. No two are the same. From Conquistador battles to the wild shrieks of men and women betrayed by that epoch’s medical science. Get ready to feel your skin crawl and for a bout of sleepless nights.

6 Reasons to Book Your St. Augustine Ghost Tour Right Now!

1: approach st. augustine’s medici lions and get caught by their spell.

Two massive Medici Lions, replicas of Florence Italy’s own, serve as gate-keepers to St. Augustine. Their maws open, claws out-stretch, the cats invite visitors in through the city’s picture postcard bridge. They serve as a stepping stone into the magic that is this wonderful, incredibly diverse, and retro little town. A town full of adventure, unique sights, and all types of stories. St. Augustine is a fairy-tale town, and like all fairy tales, it has an abundance of magic and mayhem — of lions, ghosts, wolves, and other things that go bump in the night.

2: You already visited the beaches and you want something more exciting

Let’s be honest, part of the fun of coming to Florida are the beaches. They are simply out of this world. Well, there’s just so much laying out in the sun you can take. It’s time to head back to the hotel and start to prepare for the night’s activities. Sure, there’s a lot to do in the sun in St. Augustine, but the real fun starts once the moon rears its head. And, by the way, if you happen to go to St. Augustine’s many beaches, start your ghost tour early and visit the region’s iconic Lighthouse — one of the most haunted places in the world.

3: The madness that was the conquest of America entices you

When the French attacked St. Augustine early in the 1600s, the Spaniards retaliated with a vengeance. They overwhelmed the French garrison, and regardless of whether or not you were a soldier, hung everybody on trees with the inscription “Hanged, not as Frenchmen, but as “Lutherans.” They then headed back to the Hippo, where on arrival they discovered the shipwreck survivors of a French ship that had come ashore south of the settlement. Their blood lust at a fever pitch. What did the Spaniards do after these unfortunate surrendered? They executed every last one and dumped their bodies in the bay. That’s why the river and the inlet are called Matanza or Carnage. This is just one of the many tales of those bloody days. Want to hear more?

4: The real pirates of the Caribbean are what you came to see

St. Augustine was put to the torch dozens upon dozens of times. Why? Cause that’s how pirates rolled during the Golden age of their trade. Villains and scoundrels like Blackbeard and Sir. Francis Drake roamed the Florida coast and their favorite place to stop by, have a beer, and pillage to death? St. Augustine. Some of the spiritual consequences of their excursions can still be felt in the Hippo after dark.

5: Orlando left you dry — in every sense

St. Augustine is just a stone’s throw away from Orlando, the theme park capital of the world. There are dozens of parks in the area, not just the Magic Kingdom, but Universal and SeaWorld. You’ve gone all on the roller coasters, taken pictures with all the characters, and now, you’re tapped. You need something that keeps the blood pumping, but with less special effects — more human drama. So you came to St. Augustine. What better way to tap directly into all that historical drama than with an open-world haunted house?

6: No need to go to Madrid, Spain, to see its culture…or the ghosts of its descendants

“It’s as if some little Spanish Town had broken loose, floated over here, and got stranded on a sand bank.” — Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Air travel is expensive, and traveling to Europe is doubly so. Part of the charm of St. Augustine is that it sweeps visitors into some of the old-world charms right out of the gates. It’s a quaint little living museum where folks can travel back to conquistador times and frolic in those Spaniard vibes. The town is passionate and full of magic, and wild eccentricities. A new attraction, something to fall in love with, around every corner.

NC group offering tours allowing people to see Blue Ghost Fireflies

PISGAH FOREST, N.C. (FOX Carolina) - FIND Outdoors, and the Cradle of Forestry announced they are hosting tours over the next few months to allow people to see a unique creature that calls the Blue Ridge Mountains home.

According to organizers, through the tour, people will see the Blue Ghost Firefly, which they say resembles a “tribe of fairies carrying blue candles through the forest.”

Organizers explained that the fireflies only come out briefly once a year and hover over the forest floor with a bluish glow.

Organizers said the tours for the 2024 season will take place May 14-18, May 28-31 and June 1-7. The Cradle of Forestry is located at 11250 Pisgah Highway, Pisgah Forest, NC. Those interested can find more information about the tours here .

I visited Dollywood's sister theme park in the Ozark mountains. The hidden gem's attractions and food were just as good as Disney's.

• I visited Dollywood's sister theme park, Silver Dollar City, in the Ozark Mountains in Missouri.
• I was blown away by its high-quality entertainment and coasters, amazing food, and friendly staff.
• I've been to theme parks all around the world , and this is one of my favorites. 

One of my favorite hidden-gem theme parks is Silver Dollar City, nestled in the Ozark Mountains in Branson, Missouri.

It's a sister park to one of my other favorites, Dollywood . Both are owned by Herschend Family Entertainment, though Silver Dollar City opened first in 1960.

The park is a true hidden gem. First of all, it's an incredible value. Its highest-tier season pass currently costs under $300, and a one-day park ticket is under $100. For context, daily access to only one Disney park usually starts at $150 — and the most basic seasonal pass to Disney World is typically over $1,400.

The park itself is just great, too. I've visited theme parks all over the world and this now ranks as one of my favorites. Here's why I fell in love during my recent visit.

The park leans heavily into its old-school mountain-town theme

Themed to resemble an 1880s mountain village, Silver Dollar City had an authentic feel thanks to the local, multigenerational craftsmen who work in the park throughout its shops and streets.

The atmosphere felt both immersive and transportive as I discovered unique shopping opportunities, like hand-carved furniture, glass-blown home décor, and homemade candy.

Demonstrations were a big part of my experience, and I got to watch people altering leather, carving wood, and blowing glass — all things I'd never seen done in a theme park before.

Even the park's main guide, The Pathfinder, was themed.

It's designed to look like an old-school newspaper and contains a map, showtimes, and information on current events.

It's also built on top of a cave, which visitors can tour

The park is built on top of one of the oldest attractions in the area, Marvel Cave. Theme-park admission includes a tour of the caves, which was incredible.

We traveled 300 feet down into the limestone cave for a stunning view of the Cathedral Room, one of the largest cave rooms in the country.

The park is also home to some of my favorite roller coasters and a lot of unique attractions

The park blends its history with the future in the form of precedent-setting roller coasters .

My favorites include Outlaw Run, one of the steepest wooden coasters in the world, and Time Traveler, one of the steepest, tallest, and fastest spinning coasters in the world.

There are also unique attractions at Silver Dollar City that I haven't experienced anywhere else — Grandfather's Mansion was one of my favorites.

Grandfather's Mansion is a classic fun-house-style walkthrough attraction that's been at the park for decades. It was pure fun playing with my senses through different rooms in the mansion, including an upside-down room and an off-balance room.

But above all, my favorite attraction is Fire in the Hole . The current reiteration pays homage to the original over-50-year-old indoor dark coaster. In its newer version, the $30 million attraction combines the nostalgia of the original with the technology of today.

The ride is of a high quality I don't see often outside of Disney or Universal parks.

The food is fantastic and unique

I'm a big foodie — especially at theme parks — and I was happy this park's eats lived up to the hype.

Silver Dollar City has the usual theme-park offerings, like hamburgers and hot dogs, but also offers many unique bites like its famous cinnamon bread and hand-twisted pretzels.

One of my favorite eateries on the property was Rivertown Smokehouse, which served some of the best barbecue I've ever had .

Visitors could watch staff smoke and carve food right in front of them in the open-air kitchen. I really enjoyed the smoked turkey and succotash and their accompanying sauces.

I also liked stopping at Eva & Delilah's, the bakery located by the park's exit, to pick up homemade treats on the way home.

The entertainment was outstanding

Tons of shows and events were happening at Silver Dollar City during my visit. The park brings in national acts throughout the year for different musical festivals — and access to these performances is included with regular park tickets.

I really enjoyed the park's iconic Silver Dollar City Saloon comedy show, which has been entertaining guests for over 50 years.

During my visit, the park was also offering a Broadway-style musical production of A Dickens' Christmas Carol. Housed in a full-scale theater, the show blew me away and was comparable to national productions I've seen.

I was also impressed by An Old Time Christmas, the theme park's seasonal event . It was unlike any Christmas event I've experienced at a theme park.

In addition to having seasonal foods and shows, the park had millions of lights and hundreds of decorated trees. It felt incredibly festive, and I loved walking around.

Every staff member I interacted with in the park was incredibly friendly and kind

I've visited theme parks all over the world, but I've yet to meet staff members as friendly as the ones at Silver Dollar City.

Many of the longtime employees were almost like characters in themselves, with throngs of guests waiting to meet and chat with them.

A highlight of my visit was meeting June Ward, who heads up the park's candy store, Brown's Candy Factory. She's worked at the park for over 50 years.

My visit was comparable on all levels to Disney, and I can't wait to return

Silver Dollar City checks all the boxes for me: high levels of theming, great attractions, fantastic food, and friendly staff.

I loved all the rides, especially the roller coasters, but I especially enjoyed exploring the shops and eating unique bites. This is a really special place that's different from any other park, and I plan to return year after year.

With its location in the touristy area of Branson there's so much to do locally — including seeing Dolly Parton's Stampede dinner show — that it makes for a great theme-park vacation far more unique than the typical visit to Disney.
