Hello All!

As rarely as I see activity wandering around on the pub tours, last night gave me an overdose!  We started off at a little pizza place where we love to go hang out with the amazing and sweet staff.  I know enough stories to know there are probably multiple hauntings there, but last night we got a good taste of one of them.  We sat down in the dining room and were chatting before I started in on my stories when my EMF meter spiked.  I said hello and the meter spiked up twice (perhaps responding with a “Hello”?).  I said “Thanks for joining us” and the meter spiked a few more times.  I launched into my stories and everyone seemed really involved (and really intrigued that we got spikes so early).  After I finished the meter started spiking again.  We laughed because it felt as if the ghost was waiting for me to finish before he communicated again.  As everyone was talking amongst themselves, a 21 year old girl on the tour turned to me and said “I thought you should know there’s a man sitting in that empty chair next to you.” He’d been there the whole time, listening, and was turning off everyone’s cameras because he didn’t want his picture taken! I figured that would be the best we got all night, but in the next place we went, one of my couples took the meter into the back lounge area and came back.  They both looked pretty impressed.  Apparently, in the lounge the meter was spiking by a moniter.  Thinking maybe the moniter was interfering
with the meter, they said “If there’s someone here, will you follow us to the other side of the room and make the meter spike.”  Sure enough, they crossed the room and the ghost followed along. We then ended up at a bar that I go to sometimes, but don’t know much about the history of that particular building.  I tend to tell some stories about the city and the fort outside.  After telling those, we went inside to chat and have a drink.  One woman came up to me after we’d been there a few minutes, showed me her camera and asked if she got an orb.  She certainly had something.  So my 21 year old proceeded to take a necklace and start channeling some energy to talk to our haunting.  We found out that he was an older gentleman who was a soldier (but didn’t die in battle) and had some sort of affiliation with a drugstore.  And we did get a few orbs on camera. Every tour I go out and we find something new.  Open up your instincts and you can find something just about anywhere in St. Augustine.  Thanks for reading everyone!

The Kenwood Inn has a very unusual history of haunting. First off let’s talk about Lavender. She was a beautiful woman staying at the Kenwood Inn in the late 1800’s –early 1900’s. She was staying there because she was having an affair with a prominent Dr in the area. She was desperately in love with him, and wanted nothing more than to have him for herself. She begged and pleaded with him to leave his wife, but he refused. He knew that doing so would ruin his stature in the area so he refused. Lavender gave him an ultimatum either he told his wife or else she was going to. She also said that she would go through town and tell everyone that would listen thus ruining him. He couldn’t allow this to happen, but how to stop her. That very moment he stabbed her to death in that very room. We have had many people on our tours that stay in the inn, one couple wanted to share with us the events that had happened to them the last time they stayed there. The wife had reported seeing a woman walking from her side of the bed to her husbands; she would stand there for a moment then vanish. This went on for the first few nights. He however said he saw nothing. Finally on day three of their stay he was waked up by someone caressing his face and a woman’s voice saying”I love you and I will never leave you.” He thought this was his wife, and rolled over to say “I love you too” only to have her snoring in his face. He then saw a woman walking around the bed and toward the door then she vanished!
There is more to come on the Kenwood Inn………………
Once again I hope to see you in the Hearse. Jeannine

Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International visited our haunted city last week for two interactive investigations. One at the St. Augustine lighthouse and one at the Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum. They also were here filming a new episode of Ghost Hunters Academy which should air later this year.
