2 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Prepare yourself for a night you’ll never forget at The Old Jail After Dark. The 2 hour and 30-minute paranormal experience allows you to participate in an actual paranormal investigation of St. Augustine’s most haunted building, the Old Jail.
Before your investigation begins, the experienced guides will share their investigative techniques to prepare you for any strange and peculiar phenomena that you may encounter. You will be provided with and trained to use an array of traditional and state-of-the-art ghost hunting equipment or feel free to bring your own. A cell phone can be a very helpful tool during a paranormal ghost hunt.
Immediately following the conclusion of your investigation, the experts will help you to rule out any logical explanations from your findings and to help you understand any paranormal or psychic phenomena that you may have just experienced. You, the investigator, will then be left to decide whether or not you believe the Old Jail is truly haunted!

Old jail after dark

5.00I had my ankle grab in the bedroom on the 2nd floor that stopped me from being able to take the step . Checked the area around me and there was nothing in the area that would have kept me from being able to walk. It felt like a hand grab my ankle.
Great overall experience

5.00We had a lot of fun (and scares). The staff was amazingly knowledgeable and kind. Would do again (definitely). If you ask me, the ghosts were definitely real, so 100% recommended
So worth it!

5.00We had the best time! Fran was our wonderful guide, he made the experience so enjoyable and he was truly so funny. We loved using the equipment and seeing what we could get. Let me tell you, me and my partner felt so uneasy! This experience truly is one of a kind, we can’t wait to come back.
Skeptic Turned Believer

5.00I came on this tour as someone who had experienced some unsettling things as a child, but was ultimately a skeptic who sat on the fence about the legitimacy of paranormal phenomena. I had even gone on two separate ghost tours in the nights prior and experienced nothing beyond a few EMF spikes, so I was leaning toward discounting paranormality as an entertaining but ultimately artificial concept. This tour changed everything for me. The tour guide (I so wish I could remember his name) was a self-proclaimed skeptic-turned-investigator with blue eyes, a great sense of humor, and a sincere enthusiasm for the activity we experienced on our tour (11/17/2025). He absolutely made the experience for me even before I experienced any activity -- and there was far more of that than I was expecting. The company also provided a variety of different investigative tools for us to use, and this was a very cool introduction to equipment that I would not have otherwise learned about or tried out for myself. I'm not sure how much detail I can go into, but basically there was an object (from which all of us were at least a few feet away) that became animated on its own when there was no other explanation for how or why it would do so. This is the primary experience, although there were several secondary ones, that converted my skeptical curiosity toward the paranormal into awestruck belief. I'd like to sincerely thank this company and our amazing tour guide for launching me into what I anticipate will become a lifelong hobby of mine. I would still be sitting on the fence without this incredible experience.
Amazing active experience

5.00The tour was everything that we wanted. We were able to use equipment that we don't have ourselves. We had communication and evidence in each section. We will definitely do this again.
Wonderful experience!

The whole group had a great time and we had so much going on with the devices with Sarah and May! Thanks again for an awesome experience and we plan on coming back for a second visit!
