Paranormal investigation as a hobby is becoming a popular pastime. The wide array of ghost shows, movies, video games, and podcasts have brought this once unusual hobby into the mainstream. Having the right research equipment along with learning the various techniques for a successful investigation is of course very important.

An unassuming Victorian style house like any other of its time period sits quietly and peacefully on Carrera street in St Augustine, Florida.

An artist in her former life, Louise once had a studio called “The Candy” on the second floor of the Victorian home, and is still to this day very proud of her works she created in life. Harry Stafford, Ph. D., who created his own paranormal investigation tour called Haunted St. Augustine (that we continue today in his honor), owned the home many years ago.

The rich history of St. Augustine is unparalleled to any city within the United States, and often rivals that of cities in older countries.
