As seen on Ghost Hunters and Kindred Spirits!
Join our team of professionals on an actual paranormal investigation of the St. Augustine Old Jail. Recognized as one of the most haunted buildings in the country, the Old Jail is shrouded in mystery and lore. The historic building housed prisoners from 1891 to 1953 when it was closed due to its deplorable conditions and the cruelty that it inflicted on its residents. Eight documented hangings were carried out on this site in addition to many other deaths that can only be described as unnatural. Perhaps these are the reasons why many believe the Old Jail to be an epicenter for paranormal activity and why it has become a popular destination for ghost hunters everywhere.
Before your investigation begins, our experienced guides will share their investigative techniques to prepare you for any strange and peculiar phenomena that you may encounter. Each guest will be provided with and trained to use an array of traditional and state-of-the-art ghost hunting equipment. You may also feel free to bring your own. We use a wide variety of tools of the trade to find evidence of ghosts and other supernatural beings.
At the Conclusion of Your Investigation...
Immediately following the conclusion of your investigation, our 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.
TIP: Don’t forget to bring your cell phone. Your cell phone is an all-in-one ghost hunting tool. Not only is it great for capturing photographic evidence, its audio recorder is almost professional grade and is great for capturing Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP.)

Ghost Hunting Equipment You'll Use
 |
K2 EMF Meter Professional ghost hunters use a variety of equipment to detect and communicate with spirits. The Old Jail After Dark offers investigators the opportunity to use some of the most popular tools of the trade to search out the supernatural inside the most haunted building in Florida, the Old Jail. Here is a sample of the equipment you will be trained to use by our expert lead investigators. The K2 meter is a popular, easy-to-use tool to detect spikes in electromagnetic energy. These spikes, indicated by the multi-color lights at the top of the meter, may signify activity or communication from spirits from the other side. |
 |
Flux 2 Paranormal Response Device The Flux 2 paranormal communication device utilizes multiple environmental sensors to determine a response based on location of motion, distance and temperature changes. The Flux device includes two highly sensitive infrared laser motion and distance sensors. These sensors provide quick and precise measurements of movement and distance. |
 |
Spirit Box SB11 Seen on Ghost Adventures The P-SB11 Spirit Box is a great tool with great new features for attempting communication with paranormal entities. It uses radio frequency sweeps to generate white noise which theories suggest gives some entities the energy they need to be heard. When this occurs you will sometimes hear voices or sounds coming through the static in an attempt to communicate. |
 |
FLIR Thermal Camera The FLIR Thermal Camera takes you beyond the limitations of single-spot IR thermometers, allowing you to see the hot and cold spots quickly and accurately. |
 |
Dowsing Rods The activity of dowsing has been used for centuries to find everything from precious gemstones to ground water. Many people have also used it to demonstrate the presence of ghosts and other unseen beings. After learning the feel of the rods, people who practice dowsing believe subtle movements indicate the presence of unseen energies. |
