Experiencing A Haunting
Ghosts are more likely to manifest if the air is dry. Ion generators charge the air with positive particles that may supply energy for ghosts to manifest. Many air cleaners/purifiers send out an ionic stream that may contribute to manifestations. Spirits can draw energy from electrical appliances, the atmosphere and from people. Fear and anger are two very powerful emotions from which a spirit may draw energy. If there is a lot of emotional stress in a home that is haunted, the spirit could be drawing from the negative emotional energy. Our emotions may affect spirits the same way they do people. Spirits can attach themselves to a person, place or object. In most cases, ghosts were people too. They are just no longer constrained to physical bodies. Though spirits may not communicate well with us, they know what we…
Forms Of Manifestations
There are 4 basic ways in which a spirit or ghost may manifest itself. The one that most people think of but is probably the least common is a visual apparition. For the investigator, catching something like this on film is the holy grail of evidence. In this form of manifestation the ghost or spirit appears in physical form. They may look like a normal, living person, a semitransparent wispy figure, or anywhere in between. Visual apparitions may also be of animals or objects. The second form of manifestation is through sounds. These may be disembodied footsteps, the sounds of doors opening and closing, music, or speech. Often, in the cases where speech is heard, it is muffled conversations from an empty room and there are many reports of people hearing their name being called. These are of course just…
Story from a Haunted St. Augustine Guide
HSA Tour – 18 March 2010 My name is Celynda. I’m a recent graduate from Flagler College sporting a major in English and a minor in Theatre. I started working here in January and I’ve already got some interesting stories under my belt, including simultaneous meter readings between three meters at the fort, and an abundance of activity from a young boy named James down at the Tolomato Cemetary (he’s my favorite, by the way). On Thursday, I went out with a group including two girls about my age who were both incredibly sensitive to the paranormal happenings around town. While we were at a haunted hot spot in the Minorcan District (quite infamous already for its activity), one of them saw a woman’s face on the second floor. Now this location normally has activity on the west side of…
Spirits in the Scriptures
Many people don’t believe in ghosts or the spirit world because they think there is no proof in the Bible that they exsist. Many people believe it is against God or spirits are tied in with the devil. Well, after reading The Complete Book of Ghosts by Paul Roland I finally have proof ghosts, spirits, and apparitions in the Bible. Thank you, Paul Roland, for helping me get the message across, they do exsist, just read the Bible. Taken From Paul Roland’s The Complete Book Of Ghosts ‘So Saul disguised himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. “Consult a spirit for me,” he said, “and bring up for me the one I name” 1 Samuel 28:8 Communication with spirits was forbidden by the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 18:9-14), but conscious awareness of…
A Hearse Driver's Story about the Kenwood Inn
The Kenwood Inn has a very unusual history of haunting. First off let’s talk about Lavender. She was a beautiful woman staying at the Kenwood Inn in the late 1800’s –early 1900’s. She was staying there because she was having an affair with a prominent Dr in the area. She was desperately in love with him, and wanted nothing more than to have him for herself. She begged and pleaded with him to leave his wife, but he refused. He knew that doing so would ruin his stature in the area so he refused. Lavender gave him an ultimatum either he told his wife or else she was going to. She also said that she would go through town and tell everyone that would listen thus ruining him. He couldn’t allow this to happen, but how to stop her. That…
More Stories from Our Haunted Hearse!
I am sure you have already read Jeannine’s experience with Frank in our 1990 Hearse?! Well, I have had my own experience!! One day I took Frankie (the hearse) to run some errands for the store when my cell phone rang. As I was talking on the phone the person on the other end kept asking who was in the car with me. I replied no one and they insisted that there was a man in the car with me. They said they could hear him talking but couldn’t make anything out that he was saying. When I arrived at the store, I got out of the car and heading into the store. The person on the phone asked, “Where did he go?” I was like, “Who!?” They still swore that someone had been with me and when I got…

Not So Dead Of Knight
It was a quiet and fairly late night when I was preparing to close down our ghost shop, GhoSt Augustine, at 123 St. George St. Our store was located on the right hand side at the end of a fairly short and narrow hallway, so it is very easy to hear people traveling down. A small family of three found themselves poking around at our spooky collectibles. The mother started flipping through our books and their daughter, who was only a toddler, was clinging to her mother’s pants. The father noticed our bulletin board of tour departure times and started talking with me about our different tours, prices, times, etc. until we heard a loud and high pitched, “gaaaaah!” The little girl ran out of the store and back down the hallway nearly in tears with her mother and father…

Guest’s Experience on the Haunted St. Augustine Tour
I have taken this tour twice in the last year and came away with amazing results. The first time was back in September 2009. We went to several stops along the way in which I would say were very “active”. One such stop was the Old Sanchez Mortuary. At this location, we experienced an interactive…
Tour Guide's Haunted Pub Experience!
Earlier in the year, I had a group of ten people-3 men and 7 women-on my pub tour. One woman had on this beautiful corduroy white coat. As we were at Harry’s upstairs waiting for the rest of the group, I overheard her bragging to one of the other women on the tour how she had just bought it that day and had paid a very pretty penny for it. You could tell she was absolutely proud of this coat. After I was done talking, I invited the ladies to go into the women’s restroom with the energy readers to see if they could contact the resident spirit, Catalina. Catalina de Porras is a very strong-willed, upper-class Spanish lady who lived in the home in the 1740s and then in the 1760s, and is the spirit I’ve had the most…
