Ripley’s Ghost Train Adventure Voted St. Augustine’s Best Ghost Tour

St. Augustine, Fla. (Oct. 2, 2007) Ripley's Ghost Train Adventure has been voted by the readers of the St. Augustine Record as the best ghost tour in the city! The unique approach to ghost hunting that the Ripley team has created has proven to be the favorite of those who enjoy tracking down the paranormal in America's most haunted city. 

From the elegant costumes and entertaining hosts, to the sleek black Ghost Train that seems to float on eerie light, ghost adventurers enjoy 90 minutes of an exploration into the possibilities of the paranormal. 

"The Ghost Train Adventure is about authenticity and fun," says Susan Harrell, the Ghost Train's creative director and manager. "Our commitment to treating our guests to the best locations and to having the best hosts, along with our policy of handing out free cameras and lending each guest a ghost meter, makes our tour a primer for the new ghost enthusiast, as well as a real thrill for the avid ghosting fan."

Susan Harrell and her hauntingly talented team have also added additional ghost tracking opportunities this month, including a "Mourning Tour" on selected mornings and an evening walking ghost tour. The popular Haunted Express - a 45-minute riding tour is making its return this year and will be in operation during the busiest Halloween nights this season.  Call Ripley's of St. Augustine at 904-824-1606 for more information.
