Halloween may be over, but it doesn’t mean you can’t be spooked on the coast.
Wannabe ghost hunters should head to St. Augustine, Florida, this weekend or next for a night time visit to the 134-year-old lighthouse.
The popular Dark of the Moon tour explores the historic beacon’s haunted history, which has been featured on national television shows, such as Ghost Hunters.
Tour guides claim they’ve heard someone climbing the tower steps, but the footfalls fade away, and no one appears at the top of the tower. This lighthouse's collection of spirits also apparently includes a prankish girl in the keeper's dwelling, a tall man in the basement, and a merchandise-disturbing poltergeist in the gift shop. And visitors often detect the scent of cigar smoke.
According to the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Museum, seven people known to have died on the lighthouse grounds, so there’s no telling who’s doing the haunting.
Not sure why, but ghosts seem to love beacons. Our roundup of top ten Haunted Lighthouses gets some of the best traffic on our web site.
