The Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium in St. Augustine is reportedly haunted due to its history as a hotel owned by author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and its collection of strange artifacts, including shrunken heads and potentially cursed items. Visitors and staff have reported paranormal activity like cold spots, feelings of dread, unexplained smells, objects moving on their own, and electronic equipment malfunctioning, possibly connected to the building's location on land where British soldiers were buried. Visitors and staff have reported intense feelings of pressure, dread, chest pain, dizziness, and unexplained hot or cold spots within the building. There are accounts of objects moving across tables when no one is present, and energy spikes and electromagnetic field fluctuations have been detected. During ghost-hunting tours, a spirit box has been used, reportedly uttering a name, and blue orbs have been captured in photographs. The building is situated on land where at least five British soldiers are buried, and the area has a history of headstones being moved over the years. The museum's collection of oddities, such as shrunken heads and a voodoo doll said to be tied to a Haitian dictator, may also contribute to the reported paranormal activity. Some tour participants, including the tour guide and photographer, have experienced nausea during these investigations.
