Best ghost tour in St Augustine? (house, company, photos)

I know they're campy and all, but does anyone have an opinion on the best ghost tour in St Augustine? I'd prefer a walking tour over a train/trolley.

My favorite, so far, has been the Ghosts and Gravestones "Trolley of the Doomed" tour. it is the most theatrical of all the tours, with the narrators dressing in costume and acting out the part of "ghosts." Even if you don't experience anything creepy or take any strange photos, the tour itself is fun and you'll learn some interesting history about the city.

We just did this last night.
Having done the trolley - I think a walking tour would be more fun. And the folks who enjoyed it the most had a few drinks under their belt.
The people who believe in the paranormal and the kids who get overly scared make the tour more interesting. Some drunks walking in the street participated, too. Very corny fun.
So, I'd say the make up of your group is more important than the tour company.
The re-enactor (only one on this tour) at the jail house did a VERY good job. Our tour guide was nice, but her endless ghost stories weren't terribly interesting.

I would second the drinking part. I have done the walking and trolley tours, and drinking improves the experience.

We did the Shivers and Awe tour, and were a bit unimpressed. The guide was okay, but not as theatrical as some of the other tour guides.

And, obviously, alcohol did help. (Pizzalley's has a fantastic happy hour - 2 for 1 drinks, a free slice of pizza, and $5 for a 10" pizza. Pretty good pizza too.)
