St. Augustine Historic District vicinity
Ghosts & Gravestones is presented by Historic Tours of America, the same company behind Old Town Trolley Tours and related branded attractions in multiple U.S. cities. In St. Augustine, the brand departs from the Old Town Trolley Welcome Center at 27 San Marco Ave and runs an 80-minute Ghosts & Gravestones Tour that includes exclusive nighttime access to Tolomato Cemetery, Potter's Wax Museum's Chamber of Horrors, and Cromwell's Parlour of Paranormal Curiosities, alongside narrated stories tied to the Old City Gates. The operator separately sells the Old Jail After Dark, a 2.5-hour hands-on paranormal investigation inside the historic Old Jail at 167 San Marco Ave using ghost-hunting equipment.
Old Town Trolley Tours of St. Augustine, a related but distinct general sightseeing product from the same parent company, is also sold in a combined Day and Night Tour Package with the Ghosts & Gravestones Tour. The operator markets under the same 'Ghosts & Gravestones' brand name used in its other cities, not a separate St. Augustine-specific brand.

ApparitionsUnexplained SoundsResidual Hauntings
The operator's own tour page describes Tolomato Cemetery as home to reported apparitions including the spirit of a five-year-old boy named James and a figure it calls the 'Ghost Bride,' and attributes a reported haunting at the Old City Gates to a yellow-fever victim named Elizabeth. Potter's Wax Museum's Chamber of Horrors and Cromwell's Parlour of Paranormal Curiosities are promoted as exclusive after-hours stops. The Old Jail is billed by the operator as 'the town's most haunted building' and is listed by the operator as appearing on the Florida and National Registers of Haunted Places.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, describing what each tour covers rather than an independently verified account of any location's history. Because it involves a named historical death (the reported yellow-fever victim Elizabeth) with no independent corroboration beyond the operator's own marketing, that detail is presented here strictly as the operator's claim.
