St. Augustine

Abbot Mansion - it's haunted by two spirits, Miss Lucy and The Captain.

Augustin Inn - the ghost of a man wearing a white suit with white hair was seen walking through the fully restored ground floor guest room (first room off the ground floor parlor). He simply walked through the room and through the door. It was daylight.

Casa Monica Hotel - There are many employees that can recall hearing strange noises, almost as though someone is trying to say words but the wind carries their voice off into the distance.

Casablanca Bed and Breakfast - Some have witnessed a light of a lantern flashing in the night.

Casablanca Inn at 24 Avenida Menendez
This beautifully restored Inn is known to be haunted by an elderly lady that once owned it during the 1920's. The lady was a key player in helping booze smugglers during the prohibition by going up on the widow's walk of the building and waving a lantern back and forth. This was to let smugglers know the coast was clear and since the house is located right on the bay front, this was most useful. People have claimed to still see the lantern light from atop the house to this day, especially those out at sea and in the harbor. She has also been known to appear inside of the Inn. Guests have reported seeing an apparition in the hallways and stairway, feeling cold spots, and complaining about items disappearing from their rooms and reappearing later on in strange places. The lady is buried in the nearby Huguenot Cemetery.

Castillo de San Marcos - Some of the most unusual occurrences include the "Battle Echoes" heard by visitors. By placing an ear to the wall, it is said you can hear the echoes of cannon fire and yelling. There is also telling of a young solder that can be seen leaning on the outside wall facing the bay after sundown.

Flagler College
Ponce de Leon Hall - once Ponce de Leon Hotel, it has numerous ghost stories, most of which are in Ponce de Leon hall, the girls' dormitory. The mistress of Henry Flagler haunts the 4th floor where she hung herself. The room is boarded up now. When Flagler died; his funeral was held in the front hall of the college (the one with the tile floor). They had all the windows open so his spirit could "fly away" instead of being trapped in the hall forever. As a janitor was passing by during the funeral, he noticed that all the windows and doors were open, so he closed them. People felt a big gust of wind, supposedly Flagler�s spirit. It had not made it in time, all the windows and doors where shut. It is said that his spirit hit a window and bounced back and landed in one of the tiles. So to this day, you in a certain tile to the left of the doors and towards the back of the hall, there is the face of Henry Flagler.

Florida School for the Deaf and Blind, Gregg Hall Dormitory
There is one ghostly figures that wanders around the 1st floor east wing. He is a boy in his teens, he is almost solid and you notice him clearly. He has blonde hair and wears really old fashioned clothes and sticks to the bathroom. He never comes out and girls using the bathroom late at night are met by the horrific sight of him dangling from the shower rods with his neck nearly severed. He gets down and walks into the wall with his head hanging on his neck and disappears. A trail of blood will follow him and he�ll be laughing in a really weird high pitched voice. A fierce wind will start blowing and pin the person up against the wall. The doors slam shut and two big pairs of red eyes looms out towards them. You can hear a really high pitched cackling afterwards then all of a sudden it stops the lights go back on again and it all looks normal as if nothing ever happened. Upon research nothing has been found on any type of murder on the premises.

Fort Castillo De San Marco - The night watchman of the fort has witnessed a young woman in a white dress wandering about the fort grounds and vanishing behind trees and walls. A young Spanish soldier also spotted looking for a ring on the outer grounds of the fort. History tells of him being killed by a cannon ball while searching for this ring.

Huguenat Cemetery - Photos have been taken that show orbs and what looks to be a spirit in the trees.

Old City Gates - As the story goes, at the time an epidemic of Yellow Fever was going around and a little girl about 13 or 14 years old wearing a white dress was found dead by the City Gates. No one claimed her. But sometimes around 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning you may see her dancing on the Old City Gates.

Spanish Military Hospital - now that it is a tour, people have seen ghosts and flashes. The ghost is known as a one-legged man that roams around the back room.

St. Augustine Lighthouse - A ghost of a girl has been seen in the windows of the lighthouse.

St. Francis Inn - There have been reports of doors slamming, lights flickering, and once a man woke up and found himself wedged under a bed. The fire department had to be called to free him. The incident is blamed on a ghost of a servant girl.

the Florida school for the deaf and blind - several apparitions are seen on campus and in the dormitories. These sightings have been witnessed for years and most of the staff and children are not alarmed by the strange noises, smells and cold spots all over this beautiful school.

The old Jail - This jail was built at the turn of the century by Henry Flagler because the jail across from his magnificent hotel was offensive to his "newport clientele" It is located north of the old town on San Marco. Tour guides and tourists alike have experienced the sound of shuffling feet, the smell of putrid unwashed bodies and sanitary facilities, cold spots and even a shadow entity of an extremely large man- sheriff Perry, who was over 6'5" tall. Students have even seen a man in a "funky plaid suit" in the main cell block.
