What You’ll See
Haunted Potter’s Wax Museum
The historic Old Drug Store glows softly in the evening light, its windows revealing still silhouettes that seem almost alive. Within lies Potter’s Wax Museum, where centuries converge in wax and shadow—presidents, pirates, and phantoms preserved in uncanny detail. The air itself feels steeped in history, as if the city’s oldest stories have taken form and chosen to remain.
Castillo de San Marcos
Rising over the bay in silent strength, the Castillo de San Marcos bears the scars of centuries. Its coquina walls hold the echoes of soldiers, prisoners, and whispered legends said to stir within its shadowed corridors. As dusk gathers, the fortress seems almost to breathe, standing eternal between history and haunting.
And More!
Each step through St. Augustine reveals another chapter of its haunted legacy. From centuries-old fortresses to candlelit alleyways, stories of devotion, tragedy, and restless spirits unfold in whispers. Every site holds its own secret, and together they weave a city where the past is never truly gone.
