Casa De La Paz Bayfront Ghost Story

22 Avenida Menendez, St. Augustine, FL (904) 829-2915

J. Duncan Puller was the original owner of the Casa De La Paz Bayfront Bed and Breakfast when it was completed in 1915 as a private residence. It was later used for apartments and finally renovated in the 1980s to become what it is today.

The spirit in residence is that of a young lady. She had come to the home many years ago on her honeymoon as a guest of the Pullers. On their last day in St. Augustine, the young husband decided to take a boat out for a day of fishing. He told his bride to go ahead and pack and wait for him at the house because he did not know exactly when he would return.

A terrible storm came up that day, capsizing his boat, and he never returned to her. She was so upset that she stayed in St. Augustine and grieved herself to death. Her spirit has never left the house, awaiting his return.

During the time the inn was used as apartments, some of the tenants reported hearing a knock on the door and a voice saying, "Is it time to leave yet?" Others heard a door shut and saw a figure walking down the hall. Many, many people have come and gone through the house, yet her soul still remains in limbo, waiting for her husband to return. She is often seen at the top of the stairs, with her bag packed, ready to depart.

It is said that you will know she's near when you feel that odd feeling that someone is behind you or feel a cold air pocket on the stairs.
