Experience on the Haunted Pub Tour

admin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 21:04:10 +0000

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!

Ghostly Activity Nightly

admin — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 22:34:31 +0000

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.

BELIEFS AND PRIME VALUES- Dr. Harry Stafford

admin — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 16:47:21 +0000

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.”

Experience at The Kenwood Inn

admin — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 18:23:03 +0000

Saturday , May 21, 2011

(actually: Sunday, 00:15, May 22, 2011)

While on tour with the evening’s GhoSt Augustine Hearse Tour guests, our second stop, the Kenwood Inn, allowed for a most exciting event. I had just shared my only live/visual paranormal experience, which happened at the Mission of Nombre de Dios more than 15 years prior. This prompted a “tongue & cheek” discussion about how we were all about due for more a substantial experience with the paranormal; we had become “bored” with our photographs of just orbs…oh, the
plight of ghost hunters…
As I was telling the story of the Bay view Room (Captain’s Wife on the Widow’s Walk) one
of my guests discreetly got the attention of his wife to point out what he had been
watching in the windows of the room referred to in the story. The wife, not so discreetly, focused everyone’s attention on the windows. What we noticed was a green glowing spot of light moving about in the windows. There are 2 windows that face east behind the widow’s walk balcony. The light moved back & forth from one side of the window to the other, then from one window to the other. It would grow in size from a tennis ball concentration of the light to an ambient glow of green that would take up most of one window. The light was obviously coming from inside the room; there was no green cast of light on the building exterior as the light moved between windows.
The five of us were absolutely mesmerized for what seemed like five minutes; we just watched & tried to make sense of what was taking place. I became certain that someone inside the room was playing a prank on us by using a cell phone to create the look of something “paranormal”. To potentially antagonize the pranksters into revealing themselves, I pointed my flashlight beam into the windows.
I could not see any figure standing close enough to the window that would explain the cell phone theory. I then shook the flashlight to rapidly move the beam back & forth over the windows. The green light mimicked my movements; we definitely thought it was a prank.
To make matters more interesting, a second light appeared between the curtain & glass in the left window: an intense white ball of light with blue halo burned fast & hot then dissipated in a downward motion. The agitation of the green glow escalated, & the increased activity caused the curtains to billow slightly by the light’s motion. I was convinced the event was a prank & would contact the Kenwood the next day to confirm my suspicion by finding out if the room was occupied.
The owner of the Kenwood Inn shared some interesting details about the room(s) in question. The two windows of the widow’s walk are no longer part of the same room. Also, I was assured the two occupants would not have been the type to carry off such a well choreographed prank. They were two older women in St Augustine on business for the Florida School of the Deaf & Blind.
Well…how ’bout that…what a great tour…You never know what is going to happen on GhoSt Augustine’s Original Hearse Ride!!
