Haunted Inns, Pubs and Eateries of St. Augustine

by Greg Jenkins PhD

Overview

Once sought after by French Huguenots, Spanish invaders, English privateers and indigenous tribes, St. Augustine is a melting pot of cultural conquests. Anyone who traces its cobblestone streets, sails its vast shoreline or explores its unique architecture senses those who came before. Paranormal researcher and author Dr. Greg Jenkins examines ghostly happenings in the city's charming inns, pubs and eateries that keep guests looking over their shoulders. There's the lady with the lantern perched atop the Casablanca Inn who still searches for seafaring bootleggers and the spirit "Catalina" who peers through the window at hungry diners in Harry's Seafood Bar & Grille. Enjoy these stories and more, with personal interviews and documented visitor logs from the featured establishments.
