Night Tours – St. Augustine, FLNight Tours

After sunset, the hidden mysteries of the over 450 year-old settlement come alive. Strolling along beneath the stars, it’s hard not to think that there might be someone (or something) peeking at you from around the corner of that narrow, cobbled alleyway. By partaking in one of St. Augustine’s nightly ghost tours, visitors can experience the dark periods of the city’s past, from the Castillo’s bullet-riddled executioner’s wall to the room in the historic Flagler College dorms that Henry Flagler sealed off to confine his and second wife as she went insane.

But not all ghost tours are the same. Choose from an informative, scientific excursion with ghost detection equipment or a more dramatic adventure with re-enactments of a few twisted tales. Some tours are on foot while others can be taken in trolleys, hearses and even sailboats. These tours offer something to believers and non-believers alike.
