The night arrives with a salt tang and the distant blink of a lighthouse as the group assembles in the St. Augustine Yacht Club parking lot. Streetlamps sketch cobblestone shadows and the guide passes out EMF meters and EVP recorders; the air feels both ordinary and poised, like a breath held before a plunge. You caravan in your vehicle to one or two outdoor sites — courthouse squares, old grave plots, or a riverside stretch — and the instruments become extensions of your curiosity.
