For centuries, the cobblestone streets of St. Augustine have soaked up more than just rain—they’ve absorbed blood, betrayal, and bone-chilling mystery. On the Blood on the Cobblestones Tour, you’ll walk through over 200 years of true crime history in the nation’s oldest city.
This 90-minute adults-only experience covers notorious cold cases, gruesome murders, and chilling hauntings that stem from real historical events. From Florida’s oldest unsolved murder—Lieutenant Guillermo Delaney in 1785—to the shocking 1990 slaying of Flagler College student Amy Blount, every story is grounded in documented fact and local lore.
Along the way, you'll revisit the brutal machete murder of socialite Athalia Ponsell Lindsley, the chilling confessions of serial killer William “Bad Bill” Lindsey, and the tragic aftermath of a deadly love triangle on Aviles Street. Discover why the spirits of victims—and sometimes even their killers—are said to still wander these streets, bars, and back alleys.
Blending investigative storytelling with atmospheric settings, this tour is perfect for fans of true crime, unsolved mysteries, and the ghosts they leave behind. If you thought ghost tours were just for colonial tales, this one will show you just how recent—and disturbing—the dead of St. Augustine can be.
