Spooky Florida
Tales of Hauntings, Strange Happenings and Other Local Lore
Retold by S. E. Schlosser
Meet the Captain, an officer whose casual execution of a native woman goes awry when her spirit starts following his regiment up the coast of Florida. The Captain is just one of many spooky characters who haunt this collection. A retired man follows a ghost car down Highway 1 in Islamorada, a German expatriate marries a dead woman in Key West, and a ghost baby haunts a cemetery in Orlando. All this and much more!
