Sheriff Perry?
This was taken in the upper part of The Old Jail... Last cell on the left before exiting the center where the table is in the middle... I felt something so I leaned back in and snapped a photo. If you look to the right of the photo you will see something "ORB" like with what appears to be a man's face with a large mustache... Could it be Sheriff Perry ? Or... Is it just dust inside the cell ? You decide...

Spirits by the Gallows
We took this photo behind The Old Jail. After we took this photo and reviewed it, the camera automatically died. When we got home and charged our camera and looked at the picture again, the orbs were all gone. Once uploaded to the computer, they reappeared! True Story! Spooky!!

After everyone left
This photo was taken at the Old Drug Store during the 8:20 pm tour using an Olympus FE-310 camera in "fireworks" mode. The fireworks mode uses a slower shutter speed for night time photography in order to make better use of ambient light. Note the orange face in between the old-time full-length photograph of the two gentlemen. The face of the person who is facing to the right of the apparition was our guide, Rachel.

ORB in Old Jail Office/Living Room
This picture was taken during a daytime tour of the Old Jail. I did not see this until I was looking back at my pictures on my way home. The interesting thing is that I was not using a flash as the room was plenty bright at that time of day (approx 3:30pm or so) so I am pretty sure it is not dust reflecting the light. Also take a look at the mirror on the desk, you can see an outline of a person, the only person in the office at that time was the guide and her back was to the desk and the lady to the left of the photo. |

Face in the Curio Cabinet Door
This picture was taken at the same visit as photo above about 1 min apart. Take a look at the Curio Cabinet doors. The left door about midway all the way to the right of that door, you can see an outline of a face. To me this looks like one of the past Sheriffs.

Orbs at the Old Jail
This photo was taken on October 25 at 10:49 p.m. in the Old Jail. Notice the large orb beside the sheriff and the smaller one below. |

More Orbs at the Old Jail
This picture was taken 17 minutes later from same spot. Notice large Orb is gone but numerous smaller Orbs are in the picture at this time. |

No Orbs
This picture was taken earlier in the day. Notice no Orbs are in the picture.
My wife and I were down in St. Augustine for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We decided to do the day tour of the area and the Ghosts & Gravestones tour on October 25. During the night trip to the Old Jail, several Orbs were found on pictures taken by my digital camera. We first saw the Old Jail featured on TAPS as being one of the most haunted places in St. Augustine. We were excited to get the opportunity to experience the paranormal during our trip.

Standing outside the cemetery
We were standing outside the cemetery and I was holding the camera above the fence just snapping pictures and here is what we found: A face floating in the air smiling at us!

Here's the Proof
I am not a believer but I CANNOT explain the orb seen in this picture. It was taken March 25th In St. Augustine, FL on the Old Town Trolley Ghosts & Gravestones tour. I did not see the orb until I got home and looked at the pictures on my camera. All I can say is: It is there and I can not explain it.

Old Military Hospital Orb
On the first stop of the tour, as you enter the Old Spanish Military Hospital, I snapped this photo of the empty rocking chair. Well, ALMOST empty! |

Orb in Graveyard behind drug store
Snapped a few photos in the graveyard behind the Old Drug Store. This photo had a HUGE orb floating right over one of the gravestones. |

The Old Jail Ectoplasm
Snapped a photo of the parallel jail cell doors upstairs just as you walk in the main door at the top of the stairs. Notice the bars on the left door look normal. The bars on the right? I think they call that ectoplasm. I've never had that show up on any of my nighttime digital photos.
Took the Ghost and Gravestones tour in St. Augustine. Had a great time and the tour guides were excellent. Snapped as many photos as possible, and came up with some great orb photos...The Old Jail part of the tour is pretty spooky if I don't say so myself, and played out quite nicely.

My fiance and I love Old St. Augustine and live only about an hour away. We had always wanted to take the Ghosts & Gravestones tour there and decided to do so on this occasion. We as well decided it would be a nice surprise to include my mother (who loves the city as well) and my younger sister, in our fun. We had a tremendous time both on and off the tour. To be honest we were a little bit skeptical about the tour, hoping it wasn't a "tourist trap ... It was quite informative and very entertaining! Especially the Old Jail! I'm not certain if we had really seen anything but, while at the Tolomato Cemetery, we did see something "moving" out of the corner of our eyes. But, just as soon as we'd seen it it would move away. At first we thought it was a cat, or plant moving about. But, we never saw anything of the sort. I wanted to stay a bit longer to investigate but, it was time to move on. However, in the Old Jail, both during the day and again at night, I did feel as if someone were touching me. I felt very light touches on the back of my neck and my thighs, almost as if someone were brushing a bug or something off of me. At night, I was very hot and then very cold in the Old Jail, if you know Florida weather, then you know in late March, we're well in the 80's, mid 60's at night, it's not cold. I did feel the touching and a VERY uncomfortable feeling walking in the jail cell area and especially in the living quarters of the sheriff and his family. I don't know if it was supernatural or just coincidence/imagination, but it was incredible. We loved our visit and are most certainly going to return! Thanks for a great experience and a wonderful time! Sincerely, Amy C. |

Tolomato Cemetery - zoomed 150%
This is the same photo as above, but zoomed to 150%. No other editing was done on this photo. Doesn't that look like a cat?!?! ...you can see the ears, eyes, and tail very clearly.

Face in the Glass
There is a small reflection of a face in the glass box. It's at the top and the image is upside down. I cannot see anything around it that would have reflected this image.

Vibrant Orange Energy
This is a photo I took in front of the Sheriff's office in the Old Jail. I thought it was a glare but you can clearly see the Orange Ball and the tail as well. I showed it to our ghost tour guide and she said that it was probably one of the most vibrant pics she's seen so far. |

Old Jail Gallows
This was taken at the end of the 8pm tour at the gallows outside the Old Jail with a digital Canon Rebel XT. I had a full battery. The shutter speed was normal and all my other pictures came out crystal clear. My fiance swears you can see a face next to the noose. |

Old Jail Cell
This was taken in the Old Jail during the 8pm tour. It's looking into one of the cells in the room with the sheriff, bottom level; I think it was the second cell on the left; whichever has the manikin standing in the cell. My redeye was off, so I'm not sure what the red lines are... maybe a ghost? It was taken with a digital Canon Rebel XT with a full battery.

Old Jail Ghost Gallows
I took this picture at the ghost tour. Note the bright blue/white light up in the tree. I was taking a tour and I wanted to take pictures of the old jail since I had heard it was apparently haunted. While out back of the jail we were being told of the gallows and all the history so I decided to take a picture of it with my camera. I was shocked to see the white/blue glowing light in the top of the tree. Thinking it was my camera, I decided to take another picture discovering it had disappeared and everything in the picture seemed normal. It was awe inspiring.

Old Cemetery
Our guide told us that he's seen the spirit of a young boy in this tree, dressed in 18th century clothes. He did research and found out that a young boy fell from this tree to his death! He's buried nearby. Look how many orbs there are in this photograph.
