Ghosts & Gravestones Tour

Join a spooky adventure and see the Ancient City's darker side on the Ghosts & Gravestones Frightseeing Tour. The trolley moves past Huguenot Cemetary and famous haunted buildings in Historic Downtown while the guide relates tales of illness, mayhem, tragedy, and stories about former residents who can't seem to fully vacate their favorite homes. 

The award-winning tour includes a stop inside the Chamber of Horrors at Potter's Wax Museum, where guests learn about the pirate Andrew Ranson and the gruesome story of his execution in St. Augustine. The next stop is at the Old Jail, a historic property listed on both the Florida and the National Registers of Haunted Places. Arguably St. Augustine's most haunted building, the Old Jail has a dark history. You may want to hold hands with your partner as the guide describes some of the countless paranormal experiences documented on this site, including apparitions, cold spots, and unexplained banging noises. Everyone who dares is invited to step inside the jail and conduct their own investigation.
