St. Augustine Ghost Stories
One of the stories that I told while we were wandering around involved the De Mesa Sanchez house. I have a friend who in college worked in the Spanish Quarter, which is a living history museum. The workers would wear period clothing and live like they were in the time period for eight hours a day.
She told me of the family that were in the De Mesa house, a wife and two children and their evil father, who had abused them. I’m not sure if he had anything to do with their death, but the family would apparently run around in the upstairs and be afraid of the bad man who was down stairs. The children would be seen running around playing every once in a while, and the wife could mostly be seen sitting on the bed in the upstairs bed room ringing her hands, from time to time there would be banging from downstairs and all the ghostly activity upstairs would cease.
