Would you stay overnight in an inn that was allegedly haunted? St. Francis Inn has that reputation in St. Augustin, Florida, and has been operating since the 1700s! #haunted #paranormal #ghosts #spirits #history

Monsters Unchained (not Unleashed, sorry) at Universal's Epic Universe is by far our favorite attraction at the new park. We were able to capture "Victoria Frankenstein's" introduction of the monster before boarding during a recent visit.

In1920, when Carey Hand opened his funeral home in downtown Orlando, it was the first in Florida to have an on-site crematorium. Today the building is operated by UCF but strange things reportedly happen inside regularly. #history #historicsite #haunted #ghosts #florida #paranormal #spirits

Unlike so many cemeteries I've been in, there are really no reports of hauntings within the Cemiterio dos Prezeres (Prezeres Cemetery) in Lisbon, Portugal. The cemetery was founded after a cholera epidemic in the 1830s and is still a very active cemetery full of family crypts.

The St. Augustine Lighthouse sits peacefully on Anastasia Island. It's haunted by multiple spirits, including one simply called "The Man" and young children who perished when the buiding was under construction in the 1870s. #haunted #florida #history #ghosts #spirits #paranormal
