Early this month a few guests joined Maria one night for our Original Haunted Pub Tour here in St. Augustine FL. One of the stops was O.C. Whites and while there a couple snapped a very interesting photo. This very strange image was captured on the staircase. Some people see a soldier others have reported a woman in old style clothing. What is your opinion?
This just goes to show you, you never know what might appear on GhoSt Augustine’s Haunted Pub Crawl!
Hot off the press the newest book on the paranormal, Historic Haunts Florida byt GhoSt Augustine’s Manager and Founder of Historic Haunts.

The K2 meter hit the front page of the Wall Street Journal on Saturday, October 29th, 2011. Great article talking about how fantastic the meter is for the paranormal field and how it informed people that using EMF phone apps is NOT an accurate way to research the paranormal or search for emf fields.
GhoSt Augustine is the company who saved the K2 meter from extinction. We convinced the manufacturer to continue producing the meter because we knew we could make a difference in the market and how it truly was and is a fantastic meter for paranormal research.

Lately we have been having paranormal experiences almost every night on our tours. Our hearse drivers have been reporting so much activity it is truly amazing. You have to experience it to believe it. GhoSt Augustine’s Original Hearse Ride has been around for over 7 years and we think that is one reason the spirits seem to interact with us so much. Our guides are very respectful to the ghosts and are there nightly so the spirits are very familiar with them.
Join us for some of St. Augustine’s best ghost tours. Ghost Augustine’s Hearse Ride, Haunted Pub Tour, Haunted St. Augustine Tour, and our Dead Walk. All tours go out nightly. For more information call is 904-824-8840 for prices and availability.

It is important that you learn to distinguish between moral judgments about your beliefs and practical insight. The former further complicated matters by evoking feelings of guilt or unworthiness. The latter helps you choose beliefs wisely, as a master craftsman chooses highly specific tools that serve the refined skills she has acquired.
Beliefs are not merely tools, but particular or unique shapes that mold energy, or express consciousness. We, of course, speak of beliefs you actually hold “in your heart,” not those to which many of you give lip service. Living beliefs are organic forms, encoded even in your body and its systems. That is why they may – and do constantly – affect those systems.
Each of you has your own unique version of any beliefs, so their manifestation will differ somewhat from one person to another, even though their beliefs appear quite similar. Beliefs are like any other living forms: no two are precisely alike or identical.
Beliefs cannot be separated from values, for they express values. That is, the actual beliefs you hold in the living patterns of your consciousness express your values. At the depths of your being, each of you is not only aware of prime values, but is an expression of them. Prime values are not precepts such as the Ten Commandments, but the deepest inclinations of Consciousness, or Being Itself. Prime values inhere in the disposition of Consciousness from which all creation and transformation flow. They are the propelling instinct of all authentic evolution, that is, the evolution of consciousness. You can say that prime values spring from the heart of All That Is. They are the fountainhead of all love or compassion. They lead to justice, but not necessarily justice as your conventions dictate, but rather an exquisite justice that is enlightenment, transformation, compassion and cosmic harmony, balance and unfolding. We are speaking here of the entire cosmos of consciousness, a cosmos that is multidimensional and lies behind and is expressed in every manifest world or reality.
Prime values, then, remain the touchstone of all beliefs. Without a single word or definition you live out your beliefs. When you are attuned to prime values, they, too, take shape in the living fabric of your consciousness and experience. Do not get lost in an intellectual morass with your beliefs, my friends, but let them take shape from the deepest instincts of your being. You do have a deeper intellect – the expansive intellect – that never contradicts the knowledge of the heart. There is no excuse, then, for being intellectually lazy, for the expansive intellect serves both an enlightened mind and heart, and the two are in fact one. The ego must learn to defer to – and listen to – the inner self in this regard, crafting beliefs from inner, living knowledge. You continue to evolve throughout every aspect of your soul’s activities, so there is no point of arrival in this dimension or in any other where you become a smug or pretentious “celestial master.”

(This is part of a section on the Birth of Consciousness dealing with the Shadow)
The shadow is not evil. In one sense it is all that you neglect consciously, and therefore at times may be allied with creativity and even a deeper spirituality. The shadow is hardly static, and its contents and character are always shifting. Neglected, the negative side of the shadow can erupt unexpectedly, irrationally, angrily, or even violently. When the positive side of the shadow is too much neglected, depression can ensue. Whatever its contents, the shadow seeks recognition, acknowledgment, understanding and integration. This is why you cannot fully evolve without some awareness of your dreams.
Now clearly, especially in the world you know, many of you do not have time to engage your dreams at length. Many of you seldom remember dreams. We have several points here: 1) Not all dreams necessitate, or are designed for, conscious recognition. 2) Even a very brief time – say five minutes in the morning – devoted to dream awareness can open windows in the psyche and help integrate its contents. 3) A shorthand for recording dreams – a few descriptive words, images or phrases – may be expanded later when you do have time. 4) Asking yourself “what does this mean?” may yield later insights when you return to the dream.
You must understand that the psyche has its own design, and that is not to fit many of your conventions. Your conventions will be far more satisfying and will serve you more when they are designed to reflect the needs and nature of the psyche. Dream work is part of the psyche’s agenda. To understand the psyche, you must be willing somewhat to meet it on its own terms. If you reach out, it will respond in kind. This is part of the integration of the whole self. Many of you would not dream (forgive us) of missing your favorite TV show, but you easily neglect the far greater treasures of your own dreams and psyche. Also, though you may find invaluable help from knowledgeable others, your own psyche is your best analyst. You must learn to accept this function, however, and that includes some attention to your dreams. Being playful with your dreams, even the dark ones, can yield greater insights than an oppressive or obsessive gravity. Some of your dreams are “Academy Award” winning dramas. Others are B-grade melodramas or horror films. Some are potpourris of detached symbols or episodes. Even a sense of wonder at the psyche’s diversity and creativity will yield insights, and will contribute to your wholeness. The psyche will respond to your requests, though often in its own way and timing.
