Dear Ghost Enthusiast,
Set your sails and compass towards the sunny coasts of Florida. While it's famed for its beaches and orange groves, there's a lighthouse in St. Augustine that's casting more than just a beam of light into the night.
The St. Augustine Lighthouse, a towering beacon completed in the 1870s, has long been a symbol of safety for sailors. Yet, as dusk falls and the ocean waves lap the shores, eerie tales begin to rise with the tide.
Perhaps the most heart-tugging is the story of three young girls who tragically met their end on the construction site, playing in a cart that slipped into the sea. Visitors often report hearing the innocent laughter of children echoing through the halls or even spotting girls playing in the tower's shadow.
But wait, there’s more! Brave souls who venture up the 219 steps might just be greeted by the ghostly presence of a long-gone keeper, still tending to his charge, ensuring the lighthouse beams brightly, come storm or shine.
So, if you're ever in St. Augustine, pay a visit to this historic tower. While the view from the top is breathtaking, the real adventure begins when you delve into its phantom-filled past.
