PRISON / JAIL ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA
Old Jail (St. Augustine) Featured
St. Augustine, Florida
A late-1800s jail where executions were carried out and harsh conditions left their mark.
History
Built to look respectable from the street while concealing grim cells behind, the jail housed condemned prisoners and a gallows. Tours recount deaths in custody and hangings on the grounds. Guests report being touched in the cells, disembodied voices, and the heavy feeling of the death-row block.
Reported phenomena
Touches in the cells, voices in the maximum-security block, and shadow figures.
