Ghost Train Adventure

They may be 7-feet tall and earn millions of dollars, but a few NBA basketball players are very scared of ghosts.  Several New York Knicks say they don’t want to go back to a haunted hotel in Oklahoma City…click here for full story http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/knicks/2010/01/12/2010-01-12_hotel_ghosts_have_knicks_hearing_boos.html

St. Augustine’s best ghost tour JUST GOT BETTER!

Even though we’ve been voted best tour by the locals three years running, we’re not afraid of the dark – and not afraid to give you a new and improved Ghost Train Adventure!

Our 90 minute interactive paranormal investigation now takes you inside THREE haunted buildings and visits TWO cemeteries.

Spanish Military Hospital

STOP # 1 – THE SPANISH MILITARY HOSPITAL

Bizarre things have happened for centuries in this building, which just happens to rest on top of one of St. Augustine’s earliest cemeteries.  Will you see the dark figure in the corner of the Apothecary Room, or feel the bed shake in the Ward Room?

Find out why TAPS, Paranormal Seekers and others have also investigated this site, which sits on Aviles Street, the oldest street in the Nation’s Oldest City. Read more…

Our friends at Peace River Ghost Tracker snapped this photo (left) inside the Ripley’s Castle Warden in April 2009 during the 24 Hour Shadows in the Dark online radio marathon.   

Don’t see what all the fuss is about?  Look on the top floor and tell yourself you DON’T see a little girl kneeling (right).  As night manager Colleen Resos uttered upon seeing this image, “Oh my Lord — I walk past that area four times a night and nothing is supposed to be there!”  FYI – The castle was built by the Warden family in 1887.  They had 14 children, 10 of which were girls.

Just checking out the web for some cool ghost pics,  and I found a shot worth of sharing.  This reminds me of the image caught in the St. Augustine Lighthouse.  Check it out.

Marcus Writes:

“This apparition photo was taken at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami Florida. To give you a brief summary of the place, Vizcaya was built around 1916 and now operates as a tour attraction.  This spiral staircase is in the area where the butlers would stay.  I thought the staircase would make a great photo if I took it looking up as the sun came through.
