The journey, in full

Our tour starts here. You'll hear the story of the old house and its ghosts. Originally built in 1716 this is the oldest surviving wooden building in St. Augustine and has seen its fair share of history. Over the centuries its walls have been the barracks for British soldiers, a school for the youth, and the home of Juan Genopoly, a leader of the Minorcans. And their ghosts have decided to stick around. We do not go inside, it's only on the outside we tell our story. The old city gates of St. Augustine were built in 1808 replacing the deteriorating wooden structure. Standing 3 stories high they are a popular tourist attraction. Over the centuries the old gates have kept the inhabitants of the city safe from invasion. Local legend has it they are haunted by the soul of 10-year-old Elizabeth. In 1821 when the yellow fever hit St. Augustine it killed over 400 of its residents. At the time that was more than one-third of its population.
