St. Augustine Lighthouse: Ghost Box Recordings

Louis makes EVP recordings using a ghost box while alone in the haunted St. Augustine Lighthouse...

The haunted St. Augustine Lighthouse is a very active place according to numerous paranormal investigators, as well as Special Projects Coordinator, Faith Albers. In fact, it is believed most buildings and the grounds are quite haunted. So while in Florida July, 2008, I decided to climb the haunted lighthouse tower in St. Augustine and see if I could make contact with the resident ghosts utilizing a ghost box communication device at about 7:15 PM.

I waited until the tower was empty and the door closed behind me before running an eight minute recording session up top. Most of the recording was made one landing down from the very top, while a portion was recorded as I descended to the next landing and then downward. My goal was simply to receive some messages that I could deem as intelligent communication.

The St. Augustine Lighthouse staff tries not to give names to ghosts, as there had been 73 lighthouse keepers and their families during its long history. Faith also told me that spirits of adults and children both have been visibly witnessed and audio recorded via EVP . During my session in the tower, I did hear evidence of both children and adults. As is typical with many of my ghost box recordings, I also heard the spirits discussing me, trying to help one another, and of course asking for my help. "Help" messages are received because ghosts are truly lost spirits who need assistance in moving on. Many ghosts are trapped here as earthbound spirits, and are unsure of how to get free (in my opinion).

Photograph Inside the Tower:
The photo, seen here, shows the spiral staircase inside the St. Augustine Lighthouse where I worked my way up, and then, down asking questions to record EVP. Many voices were recorded inside the light tower.

I am convinced that the St. Augustine grounds are, indeed, haunted.
