A Night at the Old Jail

A Night at the Old Jail is an evening adventure visitors and residents can have in Saint Augustine, Florida. The jail is located in Old Augustine on 167 San Marco Avenue. The tour is from 10:45pm to 2am from Fridays and Saturdays. Guests should bring cameras on the tour in order to see "ghosts" while at the jail.

The Old Jail was built in 1891. It is considered a landmark of the city and the county. It was known to house the most violent criminals. Many of the guests were hanged at the gallows. This history leads to the belief there are ghosts in the old jail. The property is now a museum where guests can learn about the past residents of the Old Jail. They can also learn about Sheriff Joe Perry.

At night the jail is supposedly filled with moans, cries, and words. According to those who host the tour these cries are very clear and easy to understand. A Paranormal Investigator group hosts the evening events for those who wish to join the tour. They do not recommend anyone under 12 to attend the tour. Pricing is available for groups.
