Now it’s your turn to join us for A Night Among Ghosts in the Ximenez-Fatio House Museum!
The St. Augustine Lighthouse
The St. Augustine Lighthouse is one of the most iconic landmarks in the city, it is also known to be one of the most haunted. The lighthouse, which dates back to the 19th century, has seen its fair share of tragedy and death, making it a prime spot for paranormal activity.
One of our favorite spirits we find at the lighthouse area is that of Captain Peter Rasmussen. Rasmussen was the longest standing keeper to hold the reins at the St. Augustine lighthouse. He is known to frequent the lighthouse grounds and Red Cox park across the road. He is one among the many that have passed yet remain in that area.
In addition to sightings of apparitions, there have been reports of unexplained noises, such as footsteps, voices, and even music, throughout the lighthouse. Some visitors have also reported feeling sudden variations in temperature, and chills even in the hot humid Florida climate.
With its fascinating history, the St. Augustine Lighthouse remains a popular tourist attraction, with visitors from all over the world coming to climb the 219 steps to the top for a breathtaking view of the city and the ocean. The St. Augustine Lighthouse is a great place to take in the sights and also have a possibility of a chance encounter with spirit.

The St. Augustine Old Jail is another popular haunted location that is sure to send chills down your spine. Built in 1891, the jail was designed to hold some of the most dangerous criminals in the area. However, it also housed many individuals who were falsely accused or jailed for minor offenses.
During its time as an active jail, there were many reported instances of violence, torture, and even executions that took place within the walls of the Old Jail. It’s no surprise that many believe the spirits of these tormented souls still haunt the jail to this day.
Visitors to the Old Jail can take a guided tour that includes a visit to the maximum-security area, the Sheriff’s living quarters, and the women’s cells. You’ll also learn about some of the jail’s most infamous inmates and hear stories of their crimes and punishments.

Learn to hone your intuition and utilize equipment & techniques to attempt to communicate with those beyond our realm. Bring an open mind, any small hand-held equipment, and an attitude for adventure on these real paranormal investigative events.
What to Expect During an Investigation
Each A Night Among Ghosts event begins with a brief orientation where our lead investigators outline the evening's itinerary, safety protocols, and the historical context of the chosen location. You'll be introduced to the equipment we use—from digital voice recorders and EMF meters to infrared thermometers and full-spectrum cameras—and shown how to operate them correctly. No prior experience is necessary; our team provides hands-on guidance throughout the night.
Groups are intentionally kept small to ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate actively. You'll rotate through different areas of the location, often in complete darkness, conducting controlled experiments such as EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) sessions, trigger object experiments, and sensory deprivation exercises. We encourage you to trust your instincts and share any unusual sensations or observations with the group.
After the investigation, we hold a debriefing session where we review the evidence collected. While we cannot guarantee paranormal activity on any given night, many guests have reported unexplained sounds, temperature fluctuations, and compelling EVP recordings. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of both the history and the mystery of the site.
The History Behind the Hauntings
Every location we visit has a story steeped in tragedy, mystery, or folklore. From abandoned asylums and historic prisons to private residences with dark pasts, we delve into the events that may have left an imprint on the environment. Our investigators share well-researched historical accounts, local legends, and personal experiences from previous visits, providing context that enriches the investigation.
Understanding the history is not merely for atmosphere; it often informs where and how we focus our efforts. For example, if a particular room is associated with a documented death or intense emotional event, we may concentrate our EVP sessions there. This blend of history and methodology sets our events apart from typical ghost tours, offering a more rigorous and immersive experience.
Equipment and Techniques
We employ a combination of traditional and modern paranormal investigation tools. Our standard kit includes:
- Digital voice recorders for capturing EVPs
- EMF (electromagnetic field) meters to detect fluctuations
- Infrared thermometers and thermal imaging cameras
- Full-spectrum and night-vision cameras
- Motion sensors and laser grids
- Spirit boxes and other communication devices
Our techniques are grounded in both scientific skepticism and open-minded inquiry. We document environmental conditions, maintain control objects, and use debunking methods to rule out natural explanations before considering something paranormal. This balanced approach appeals to skeptics and believers alike, ensuring that the evidence we present is as credible as possible.
Preparing for Your Night
To make the most of your experience, we recommend wearing comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear, as many locations involve walking, standing, or navigating uneven surfaces. Bring a flashlight with extra batteries, and consider a notepad for jotting down observations. While we provide all necessary equipment, you are welcome to bring your own devices if you prefer.
Most events last between four and six hours, including breaks. We advise guests to arrive with an open mind and a respectful attitude toward both the living and the dead. Alcohol and recreational drugs are strictly prohibited, as they impair judgment and can compromise the safety and integrity of the investigation.
If you have any medical conditions or mobility concerns, please contact us in advance so we can accommodate your needs. Our goal is to provide a safe, educational, and spine-tingling adventure for everyone.
