St. Augustine Historic District · Plaza de la Constitución National Historic Landmark
US Ghost Adventures runs its St. Augustine program under the brand Old City Ghosts, meeting nightly at the Plaza de la Constitución, near the corner of King Street across from the Cathedral Basilica. St. Augustine was founded by Spanish colonists in 1565, making it the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement in the continental United States.
The operator's marketing frames the city's centuries of Spanish colonial rule, pirate raids, and 19th- and 20th-century commercial history as backdrop for the reported hauntings covered on the tour route, which centers on the city's historic downtown near the Plaza.

The operator describes A1A Aleworks as built above a cemetery of the city's first residents, whose spirits are said to still roam the building. The Casablanca Inn, formerly the Matanzas Hotel, is presented by the operator as a former boarding house and off-the-books bootlegging operation during Prohibition, with the spirit of its madame said to still protect the property. The Spanish Military Hospital is described by the operator as sitting atop an early, unidentified burial ground once thought to be Timucuan.
The route narrative also references a reported apparition called 'Randolph' at Casa de Sueños.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history verified independently for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
