We took the St. Augustine ghost tour this weekend for the first time. The tour was moderately entertaining. The tour began and ended outside the grist mill on Saint George Street. We walked outside of the old fort, down Water St. to the “Old Mansion” and past the local cemetery. We chose the latest tour, 9:30 pm, in hopes the group would be more adult. The tour guide spoke clearly but the humor was marginal. The tour seemed more historic than ghostly. Picture taking was pointless even with a flash due to the distance kept from the actual landmarks. The cost of the tour was $12 per adult which seemed reasonable. However, I would not discourage anyone from taking the tour on their first trip to St. Augustine.
