“The Keeper’s Last Steps: Hauntings of the St. Augustine Lighthouse”

This week, The Paranormal Lens turns its focus toward one of the oldest, most recognizable, and most haunted maritime landmarks in the United States—the St. Augustine Lighthouse. Chad is joined by Alex Thomas, fresh from a recent tour and investigation of the site, with Jamie and Kirstin rounding out the panel as co-hosts for a deep and thoughtful exploration of the lighthouse’s past and its lingering mysteries.

Standing watch over Florida’s coastline for generations, the St. Augustine Lighthouse has guided countless ships to safety—but not all stories tied to its light end safely. In this episode, we trace the long evolution of St. Augustine’s original shore lights, examining why earlier structures failed, how the current lighthouse came to be, and what it took to keep the light burning through storms, isolation, and tragedy.

⚓ We’ll explore:

The forgotten and relocated earlier shore lights that predate the current tower

The building of the present lighthouse and the challenges faced during its construction

The demanding, often isolated life of lighthouse keepers and their families

Tragic accidents, personal loss, and the stories behind the spirits said to remain

Reports of footsteps, voices, shadow figures, and the feeling of being watched on the spiral stairs

Chad and Alex’s personal experiences during a cold, windy Florida night, where shifting winds, strange sounds, and a climb down the 219 steps in the pitch black, made for an interesting night of exploration.

Many who visit the lighthouse describe an overwhelming sense of presence—an echo of duty, routine, and unfinished work. Are these simply memories embedded in the walls, or are some keepers still bound to the steps they climbed night after night, ensuring the light never went dark?

Join us as we balance documented history with eyewitness accounts and investigative experience, exploring how time, emotion, and place may intertwine in ways we still don’t fully understand.
