I've lived in the area for more than 40 years. At one point I worked on Palafox in an old building that had been a morgue, among other things. Once I was the first one there and heard someone come in the back door and move around. I called out, thinking it was a coworker, but no one answered and no one was there when I went to check. I sure was glad when everyone showed up.

Grew up here and now a paranormal Investigator. Did a 2 night stay and hunt at the Victorian last year. It did not disappoint. So much history here in Pensacola. New sub from me. Cheers!

Pensacola is the first and oldest city in America. You know walking downtown I had romantic and sexual encounter with a ghost. But i had to leave Pensacola its my hometown not the city i grew up in. Allot crime, allot homelessness, drug overdoses thanks to fentanyl, negative folks, hateful folks, people wanna stay stuck in pensacola. As for downtown full of flakes i love the history but im not gonna keep up with the Joneses if people regardless dont love me for me. I got on my wagon and horse and got put of DODGE. Oh anyone reading this if you wanna come to pensacola on vacation you stay trap on probation. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL.
