2-Hour Paranormal Investigation

Haunted Saint Augustine A Paranormal Investigation runs through GhoSt Augustine. Rated 4.9 across 88 reviews. Runs 2 hours. From $30.

Overview

GhoSt Augustine runs it as an actual paranormal investigation, and the group spends the two hours learning how to assess reports of hauntings and then trying it themselves with research equipment. Along the way the guide shares historical detail and anecdotes connected to the sites, drawn from a tour that has run almost nightly since January 2002.

The structure is part instruction, part fieldwork. You are briefed on what separates a genuine haunting from ordinary noise, how to approach a site, and how to employ your senses and respect your psychic feelings. Each participant gets equipped with two tools to track activity, and reviews frequently mention the hands-on use of paranormal equipment as a high point of the night.

Groups are capped at twelve travellers, and the tone is educational rather than frightening. That makes it a good fit for people genuinely curious about how investigations work, and even locals have said they picked up things they had not known about downtown. It ends where it began, inside the Heritage Walk Mall on St George Street.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical things will shape the night, and past travellers have flagged most of them already.

• Wear walking shoes. One reviewer with crutches found the distance a bit much, so comfortable shoes matter.
• Mobility limits. The listing states the tour is not wheelchair accessible. One reviewer advised that travellers with mobility issues should come prepared, and the same review noted a guide who checked in frequently with a participant using crutches.
• Small group feel. The group is capped at twelve travellers, and multiple reviews describe a relaxed, personal atmosphere with guides who answer questions and keep the group engaged.
• Hands-on gear. Ghost hunting equipment and an English-speaking guide are included. Reviewers often cite using the paranormal tools as the best part of the experience, and one mentioned specifically enjoying the EMF meters and dowsing rods.
• Learning focus. The tour is designed to engage and educate rather than frighten, per the listing. Many reviewers, including locals, said the history portion surprised them with stories they had never heard downtown.
• Bring water. Coffee and tea are not included, so bring anything you want to sip. The full two hours are spent out moving between sites.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and one reviewer found the walking distance a strain for a family member on crutches, so anyone with mobility issues should come prepared. Service animals are allowed and the meeting point sits near public transportation, but the route itself is on foot. If you want a scare-focused ghost tour, this is not it: the operator states plainly that the aim is to engage and educate rather than frighten.
