St. Augustine Historic District
GhoSt Augustine's own site states the company was founded in 2001 as a ghost hunter store and began offering tours and activities in 2002, starting with the Original Haunted Pub Tour and what it calls the first paranormal investigative tour of St. Augustine. In 2004 the company says it invested in continuing production of the K2 meter, a piece of ghost-hunting equipment, after its original manufacturer discontinued it, and went on to supply the device to the television series Ghost Hunters.
The company positions itself as the original non-theatrical ghost tour operator in St. Augustine, aimed at travelers who want to avoid the city's larger tour crowds. It operates from an office at 162 St. George Street in the historic downtown pedestrian district and holds a Florida Seller of Travel license (ST39844). Its offerings span three formats: standard walking and shuttle ghost tours (Dead Walk, Everdark Express, Shadow Ride), paranormal-investigation products that enter building interiors (Haunted St. Augustine Semi-Private, Para4ce Investigations, Total Paranormal St. Augustine), and the Original Haunted Pub Tour, running nightly since 2002.

The operator's tour descriptions do not name most of the specific buildings visited, describing them instead in general terms: an unnamed 'old haunted building' explored on the Everdark Express Ghost Tour, a roughly 1,000-square-foot house nicknamed the 'Dixie house' for Para4ce Investigations, and 'a haunted house, cemetery and lighthouse' for the longer Total Paranormal St. Augustine session. The Dead Walk Ghost Tour is billed as covering the 'forgotten, oldest, darkest' part of town, and the Shadow Ride shuttle tour references unspecified pirate attacks and violent crime on both the south and north sides of the historic district.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing description of its product lineup, not documented history independently verified for this listing, and it is included here to describe what the tours and investigations cover rather than to endorse any specific paranormal claim.
