Built in 1874, St. Augustine Light is the name of the active lighthouse at the north end of Anastasia Island in St. Augustine, Florida. The original building, established in 1824, was the first lighthouse built in Florida; that building crashed into the sea in 1880 due to coastline erosion. The collapse had been anticipated, though — construction on the new building (the one that stands today) began in 1870. Many visitors to the lighthouse have reported witnessing paranormal activity including shadows and voices. People have also reported seeing two young girls standing on the lighthouse catwalk. (The girls are said to be the daughters of the man who was superintendent of lighthouse construction during the 1870s; both drowned in an accident that took place during the building of the second lighthouse structure.) The lighthouse offers “Dark of the Moon” tours that included guided paranormal investigation of the premises.
