Prepare yourself for a night you’ll never forget at The Old Jail After Dark. The 2 hour and 30-minute paranormal experience allows you to participate in an actual paranormal investigation of St. Augustine’s most haunted building, the Old Jail. Before your investigation begins, the experienced guides will share their investigative techniques to prepare you for any strange and peculiar phenomena that you may encounter. You will be provided with and trained to use an array of traditional and state-of-the-art ghost hunting equipment or feel free to bring your own. A cell phone can be a very helpful tool during a paranormal ghost hunt. Immediately following the conclusion of your investigation, the 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!

Right from the parking lot all four of us began to experience unusual activity. Inside it was crazy how we could communicate with the divining rods and through the talking box. Quite an experience if you're a skeptic. There truly are trapped souls there
This experience was amazing. They had several pieces of different paranormal equipment for us to use. I was skeptical about the experience prior to going but I thought it would be a lot of fun for our family and it certainly was! We had experiences that we simply could not explain. I highly recommend anyone that is considering going here to go and when you do, grab the rods. :)
Great experience. The hosts were phenomenal and we had a few little encounters with the jail residents. Only complaint is that we wish it were longer! We would’ve spent all night there if we could. Highly recommended!
I highly recommend this experience! My mom and I had an amazing time and thought it was absolutely worth the money. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and did a wonderful job sharing the history of the jail while explaining how the investigation would work. They provided all of the equipment we needed and gave us plenty of time to conduct our own investigation, which made the experience feel very interactive and personal. We experienced some activity that I still can’t explain. While standing inside one of the jail cells, I felt what seemed like a poke on my bottom. Upstairs, there seemed to be quite a bit of activity, and at one point, I distinctly felt something touch my ankle. Whether you believe in the paranormal or are simply curious to experience something different, it definitely made for an unforgettable night! I truly enjoyed the entire experience and would absolutely do it again. If I’m ever back in the area, this will definitely be on my list of things to do again. Highly recommend!
Me and my daughter enjoyed ourselves. I will review our digital recording to see if I have any EVPs.
This tour is obsuletely amazing. Got a few cool photos and a few EVP'S. Just within a few minutes a shadow person appeared behind the tour guide. Would 100 percent recommend this place while visiting.
It was a phenomenal experience!! Our guide, Fran, was exceptional. He was very educated in the History of the Old Jail, and there was a lot of paranormal activity. The amount of time we received during the tour was well worth the price of the ticket. I can't wait to go back and do it again!!
I had my ankle grab in the bedroom on the 2nd floor that stopped me from being able to take the step . Checked the area around me and there was nothing in the area that would have kept me from being able to walk. It felt like a hand grab my ankle.
Definitely a great experience if your into the paranormal and getting evidence. The staff was very knowledgeable about the equipment and the jails history. I would recommend to anyone wanting a genuine ghostly interaction. Will be back!!!
We had a lot of fun (and scares). The staff was amazingly knowledgeable and kind. Would do again (definitely). If you ask me, the ghosts were definitely real, so 100% recommended
