Visiting the Old Jail

Many would assume that you would expect paranormal activities or happenings in cemeteries, but did you know that such happenings also exist in old jails? For those who are brave and enjoy visiting “spooky” places, there are a lot of places that one can do that. But, if you want an extraordinary kind of experience, then visiting the Old Jail at 167 San Marco Avenue, St Augustine, Florida is just place that you might want to consider going with your friends on a Florida bus charter.

If you have always been fascinated with the supernatural and paranormal things in life, and you are also one of those really daring ones, why not plan a trip with your friends (if they are as daring as you are, that is) to take up a Ghost Tour at the Old Jail this coming Halloween? Sounds like a crazy, ghostly idea? Of course it is – and it will be one that you and your friends will remember for the rest of your lives. The Ghost Tour at the Old Jail is available on Friday and Saturday nights, from 7pm until 10pm, but advanced reservations or bookings are required, so be sure to check their website for details in making a reservation for the tour. The Ghost tour takes about one hour and twenty minutes, and they do not encourage participation from those who are 13 years old and below due to the nature of the tour. They also encourage visitors or participants to wear comfortable shoes as they will be doing a lot of walking during the tour.

If you prefer not to have a scary, ghostly tour at the Old Jail, they also welcome visitors during the day, but we don’t guarantee that it is less scary or less spooky during the day. You and your friends will, however, learn about the history of the Old Jail and some of the notorious criminals who have met their Creator here.

Each of these powerful speedboats can sit up to three persons at any one time and feels pretty much like a car.
