Spooky Season Is Coming: Now Is the Time to Book Your St. Augustine Ghost Tour
It’s almost that time of year again.
The weather starts to cool down, Halloween decorations start appearing everywhere, and suddenly, everyone is looking for something a little spooky to do.
If you’re thinking about visiting St. Augustine this fall, now is the time to start planning your ghost tour.
Spooky season is one of our favorite times of year in the Ancient City. With more than 450 years of history, old buildings around every corner, and plenty of ghost stories, St. Augustine already has the perfect atmosphere for a night of haunted fun. Add Halloween to the mix, and things get even better.
Don’t Wait Until October to Make Your Plans
Every year, we see people wait until the last minute to book their St. Augustine ghost tours. Then Halloween gets closer, vacation plans start coming together, and the tours and times they wanted aren’t always available.
If you already know you’re coming to St. Augustine this fall, booking early is the easiest way to make sure you get the experience you want.
Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway, a family trip, a night out with friends, or a full-on Halloween adventure, it’s worth getting your plans on the calendar now.
Make a Night of It
There are plenty of ways to experience the haunted side of St. Augustine, depending on what kind of spooky night you’re looking for.
Take the Original Haunted Pub Tour
Want your ghost stories with a little nightlife mixed in?
The Original Haunted Pub Tour is a great way to spend an evening exploring St. Augustine’s haunted history while visiting some of the city’s historic pubs.
You’ll hear stories of ghosts, legends, and the darker side of the Ancient City while enjoying a night out.
It’s especially fun with a group of friends, and let’s face it, haunted stories are always a little more entertaining when you’re walking through the historic district after dark.
Take a Ride on the Shadow Ride
Looking for something a little different?
Hop aboard the Shadow Ride and explore St. Augustine after dark from a unique goth cart.
The ride combines the city’s history, spooky stories, and nighttime atmosphere for an experience that’s anything but an ordinary sightseeing tour.
It’s a great option if you want to see more of the city while getting into the Halloween spirit.
Ride the Everdark Express
The Everdark Express is another way to experience St. Augustine once the sun goes down.
You’ll travel through the Ancient City while hearing about its darker history, haunted locations, and paranormal stories.
There’s just something about riding through historic St. Augustine at night that makes the city feel completely different.
Ready to Go Beyond the Ghost Stories?
If hearing about haunted places isn’t enough and you’d rather actually investigate one, consider joining a Para4ce Investigation at The Dixie House.
This is a hands-on paranormal experience where guests can participate in an investigation and use paranormal equipment while exploring a reportedly haunted location.
It’s a completely different experience from a traditional ghost tour and a great choice for anyone who has ever wanted to try paranormal investigation for themselves.
Why St. Augustine Is Perfect for Spooky Season
You don’t need a lot of decorations to make St. Augustine feel haunted.
The city was founded in 1565. Its historic streets and buildings have been here for generations, and its history includes battles, disease, tragedy, and countless stories of the people who lived here.
During the day, you can appreciate that history.
At night, you get to experience a different side of it.
And during spooky season? It’s hard to think of a better time to explore.
