I've been on several, including this on in St. Augustine. Mostly I think the stories are completely made up (or greatly embellished), travel info for idaho colorado nevada meant to spook the visitors, but the tours themselves are usually pretty awesome. Nothing travel info for idaho colorado nevada spooky happened during our St. A. tour, but the story about the doll was really creepy!
I've provided special effects for a number of ghost tours across the U.S. When the effects are combined with great actors who are enthusiastic about the project, and when supported with carefully researches and fleshed-out historical information, the tours are absolutely amazing. Ghost tours are an entertaining way to learn more about the history of the community.
When I was teaching in FL, we went to St. Augustine every year, but we avoided the ghost tour. St. Augustine is one of my favorite places to visit. It is one of the initial places that our country's history began with Ponce de Leon. So rich with great stories as your lens points out.
