We’re kicking off this creepy caravan with a stop at Palace Saloon in Fernandina Beach. The usual claim to fame for this bar is that it’s the oldest in the state! But, there’s another reason why people visit. As the story goes, there was once an employee of the saloon who had passed but still walks around paying his dues. Charlie not only worked in the saloon but also lived in the back room. When he passed inside that room, that’s when the strange occurrences started. Doors would open and shut with no reason, lights flickered, and even guests reported seeing strange apparitions. Get a glimpse of the photo of Charlie hanging outside of the saloon when you visit and see if you happen to spot his spirit.

Abandoned Florida

We’ve written about this school before and let's just say the stories are as chilling as the photos. Thanks to the renowned Florida photographer of Abandoned Florida, we were able to secure some of the best and most haunting photos of this abandoned school. Public School Number Four, also known as The Devil’s School has quite a sordid history and has even been lauded as being one of the most haunted places in Florida. Urban legends run the gamut for this school, from the crazy janitor who burned students alive in the boiler room to the cannibalistic principal. While you can’t go inside, you can still drive near the school and pick up on the strange and eerie vibes nearby.

Next up on this creepy day trip through Florida is the St. Augustine Lighthouse. Founded back in 1565, St. Augustine has been called the oldest city in the U.S., not to mention perhaps the most haunted place in Florida. The legendary lighthouse, clocking in at 165-feet, has been dubbed by many visitors as being haunted. As legend has it, two children of a lighthouse worker back in the 1800s drowned nearby and their spirits still roam the lighthouse at night. Other visitors have heard mysterious voices or have seen shadowy figures at the top.

Cassadaga, Florida, the "Psychic Capital of the World" has a cemetery nearby that has a very haunted history. At the Lake Helen-Cassadaga Cemetery, there is a supposedly haunted landmark that has been nicknamed The Devil’s Chair. According to the urban legend, if you sit in this brick chair at midnight, you’ll be visited by the Devil himself. But what many have rationalized instead is that the chair was built many years ago as a "mourning chair" for visitors could come to grieve their lost loved ones. Would you be brave enough to sit in The Devil’s Chair?

By now, you’ve probably worked up an appetite, so the last stop on this creepy day trip involves some food. Ashley’s Restaurant and Bar in Rockledge has been considered by many to be the most haunted restaurant in Florida! While many restaurants or hotels try to shy away from their haunted status, Ashley’s Restaurant leans in. The history dates back to the 1930s when Ashley’s Restaurant was known as Jack’s Tavern. The gruesome story tied to the restaurant involved a young woman who was brutally murdered after last being seen at Jack’s. Many paranormal investigators, psychics, and even patrons believe that the young woman was murdered inside the restaurant. Visitors have reported seeing objects moving on their own, shadowy figures, and even the feeling of being touched but no one was there.
