St Augustine Ghost Tours
Let St. Augustine Beach Front Resort be your St Augustine ghost tours host. Our friendly staff will be happy to arrange a meeting with the spirits of our historical city with providing information on Ghost Tours of St Augustine. Ghost Tours of St Augustine was developed in 1994 by Sandy Craig, a native resident of St. Augustine. Sandy's heritage roots go back 400 years in St. Augustine, to the first Spanish settlers who arrived in this ancient city. She is of Minorcan descent, a cultural group of people migrated from Minorca, Spain who still inhabit St. Augustine . Maybe this explains her interest with the old spirits of St. Augustine. She's been know to say, "When I pass away, I want to stay here like everyone else and have people tell fascinating stories about why I just can't leave this wonderful city."
"A Ghostly Experience" walking tour had its beginnings in 1994 when Sandy, owner of Tour Saint Augustine, Inc., decided school groups staying overnight needed a fun, educational activity in the evenings. She met with local writer and historian Karen Harvey and developed a tour based on legends of ghosts and other strange experiences that occurred right here in St. Augustine. She guided groups of school children along narrow brick lined streets at night searching for the supernatural. As you can imagine, "A Ghostly Experience" was a huge success, and due to popular demand, the tour was expanded to include the public.
St Augustine Ghost Tours now employs over 20 professional storytellers, and continues to add more and more ghostly tales to the tour. All of our stories are researched through records from historical libraries, church documents, personal diaries and personal interview. Nothing is made up, and no artificial special effects are used during the tour. If you see something while out there, you'll know it's real!
This award winning tour, recently voted #1 Guided Tour in Florida by the readers of Florida Living Magazine and is featured on the Discovery and Travel Channels, is held every night of the year, including all holidays, and we also have other seasonal and private tours available.
After your tour, we'll lay you to rest in one of our oceanside accommodations. Book a room at the St. Augustine Beach Front Resort today!
