Our Tour Just Got Better!!
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…
T.A.P.S. investigates the haunted Castle Warden!
October 2009
TAPS has investigated the haunted Castle Warden, which now houses the original Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Museum. Dave Tango, Steve Gonsalves, Dustin Pari and many guests were part of October 17th’s exclusive evening inside the 1880’s castle.
The Atlantic Paranormal Society, called TAPS, is internationally famous these days due to the popular TV series “GhostHunters” on the SyFy Network. Jason Hawes, Grant Wilson and their fun-loving team of paranormal investigators have traveled the globe attempting to gather evidence of hauntings. Most of the hardcore viewers realize the TAPS crew will often debunk stories of apparitions and strange sightings and rarely term a location “haunted”. Read more…
7 Tips for taking Ghostly Pics
This is a lens strap...yep, just a lens strap.
We have rounded up some great tips for capturing ghost photos:
GET YOUR CAMERA READY. Set your digital camera to NIGHT if possible, and make sure your lens is clean.
TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES. The more photos the better your chances of catching a great ghost photo. Take shots at eye level and above your head.
AVOID SHINY SURFACES. The shine from glass, mirrors, marble or metal can give you an image that can be mistaken for a ghost. The reflection can appear like mist, fog & orb shapes. Read more…

A Connecticut Haunting: Based on True Events
On March 27, the movie “A Haunting in Connecticut” arrives at a theater near you. It is loosely based on a paranormal experience by investigators Lorraine & Ed Warren in the late 1980’s.
Lions Gate Publicity
The Lions Gate trailer goes something like this:
“When the Campbell family moves to upstate Connecticut, they soon learn that their charming Victorian home has a disturbing history: not only was the house a transformed funeral parlor where inconceivable acts occurred, but the owner’s clairvoyant son Jonah served as a demonic messenger, providing a gateway for spiritual entities to crossover. Now unspeakable terror awaits, when Jonah, the boy who communicated with the powerful dark forces of the supernatural, returns to unleash a new kind of horror on the innocent and unsuspecting family.”
Got Ghosts?
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. Read more…
