The “nation’s oldest city” is also considered to be the most haunted.

"I thought we would go inside some creepy old buildings,” speculates St. Augustine resident Slate Creek.

"It's a little creepy,” admits Katie Ayres.

"I believe in ghosts,” confirms Tyler Creek. "I've had a lot of people scream as they are getting into it."

Here awaits a spirited ride through history.

"I do get a lot of people who are afraid or want it to be really scary. But I can't really promise them anything,” Tyler said of his ghost tour on wheels.

At St. Augustine Ghost Tours, the doors lock and unlock whenever they feel like it, according to Tyler, as he navigates the narrow darken streets of St. Augustine while behind the wheel of a hearse.

"The horn use to go when it wanted to,” he added.

Inside this death wagon on wheels, you’ll discover the upholstery is vintage 70s. The dashboard features wood veneers. And the hood ornament represents what this funeral wagon use to haul: skulls.

There are actually two hearses on this tour: A Cadillac named Stacey Marie dating back to the early 1970s and a mid-1980s Lincoln named “Morticia.”

Folks who ride in the back of a hearse traditionally don't climb back out under their own power and it can be a little claustrophobic. That's why Morticia comes with a convertible top, so folks can sit back and enjoy the breeze.

"You can see the buildings a lot better and get the fresh air on you,” said Melody Creek, a member of Tyler’s family. “It's a little bit better to see the buildings that you are passing."

From the scene of grizzly deaths to known hauntings, the hearse makes several stops, while everyone leaves with an impression from the other side.

"I just want people feeling better when they came up to me,” Tyler concluded.
