Over the years, there have been accounts of spooky interactions in the historic St. Augustine Lighthouse.-
Guests wander around the hallowed halls of the lighthouse, which is now 148 years old. Specialty programs manager Sammy Washburn, who gives “Dark of the Moon” tours year-round, says there are “other” visitors among them: ghosts.“[Windows] open and close when they are not supposed to be open or closed,” she said.
“There’s a level of shock anytime they experience something paranormal here on the grounds,” Dye said. Washburn credits that to Maria Andreu, a ghost who usually dresses in white and is one of the only ghosts Washburn says appears in full body apparition. Andreu was the wife of a keeper of the old lighthouse, who fell to his death.
The reactions to the mysterious encounters vary, but those who underestimate them, Washburn says, are the best. Inside the 1876 lighthouse keeper's house are rooms full of history and sometimes the presence of those of those who once called this home.
