The Telling Elegies Ghost Tour

The Telling Elegies Ghost Tour is strictly 16+ due to mature themes and graphic historical content. This adults-only tour explores disturbing tales of murder, betrayal, death, and damnation with psychological depth that's not appropriate for children. Valid ID may be requested to verify age. If you're looking for a family-friendly option, we recommend The Ghosts of St. Augustine Tour instead.

The Telling Elegies tour features raw, unfiltered accounts of St. Augustine's darkest history, including detailed stories of murder, torture, disease, death, and paranormal phenomena. The content is intellectually engaging but includes graphic historical details and explores psychological horror. This is not a jump-scare tour, it's a deep dive into the macabre history and unsettling hauntings that shaped America's oldest city.

The Telling Elegies is St. Augustine's premier adults-only ghost tour, offering a sophisticated and thought-provoking experience. Unlike family-friendly tours, this explores the psychological and paranormal with mature depth. Our guides present historically accurate, disturbing accounts and invite you to question mortality, the afterlife, and the boundary between the living and the dead. It's designed for adults seeking an immersive, haunting, and intellectually stimulating experience.

The tour lasts 90 minutes and covers approximately 1 mile of walking through St. Augustine's Historic District. The pace is moderate with stops at various haunted locations. The walking is manageable for most fitness levels, though the tour does involve standing and walking on sidewalks and historic streets for the duration.
