The Old St. Johns County Jail in St. Augustine

Southern Ghost Stories

Built in 1891 by businessman Henry Flagler, the old St. Johns County Jail was ran by Sheriff Joe Perry who kept inmates in line. After decades of hangings and lynchings in the old jail, it's no surprise that many believe it is one of the most haunted places in St. Augustine.
Tour guides and staff members of the museum tell stories of strange things happening in the old correctional facility and some of the old inmates are believed to still be hanging around. Join us as we take a deep dive into the Old St. Johns County Jail!
