Seeing Ghosts?

Throughout the years a blonde woman dressed in white has often been sighted opening Inn doors facing east, toward ancient Charlotte Street and the bay front. Appearances in doorways that haven’t been opened for years chill the hearts of guests who have spotted a fleeting wisp of her white dress on the staircases and in the gardens. Could it be Mary Mitchel or someone scurrying down Aviles Street to the hospital a few doors away?

Perhaps a 'marriage of convenience' set the scene for the English bride, Mary Mitchel, to wed Spaniard Don Manuel Lorenzo Solana. When Spain traded Florida to Great Britain in exchange for newly acquired Havana, Solana was one of only 8 Spanish gentlemen allowed to remain in St. Augustine during the the 20-year English occupation helping to settle Spanish property claims. A gentleman of immense wealth, influence and prestige, Solana owned a sugar cane plantation and married Mitchel in 1764. Rumor and historical accounts allude to this being a fortuitous union for Mary & Manuel... he for security during the occupation, she for the stature and luxury that he bestowed upon her.

The Don Manuel Lorenzo Solana House, now Casa de Solana, is a fine example of Spanish Colonial architecture... with an 'English twist.' High ceilings and doors that open onto the street are elements of English style; the beamed ceilings, balconies and doors that open into the courtyard are Spanish in style.

During a visit to the Casa de Solana by The Ghost Hunters University, it was announced that the Casa had "...the most paranormal activity" sighted in St. Augustine. An image of a Spanish Mounted Dragoon was captured sitting in a wing chair in the Montejurra Room... and guests have reported seeing the same image at the door of the Montejurra bath!
