The Ghostly Tales of St. Augustine and St. Johns County

by Jessa Dean

Overview

Ghost stories from America's oldest city have never been so creepy, fun, and full of mystery! The haunted history of St. Augustine comes to life--even when the main players are dead. Visit the Castillo de San Marcos to help a headless soldier look for a lost wedding ring. Or spot the ghostly boy dashing among the headstones at Tolomato Cemetery. And if you visit the St. Augustine Lighthouse, beware of the mischievous spirits who have been known to tie visitors' shoelaces together! Dive into this spooky chapter book for suspenseful tales of bumps in the night, paranormal investigations, and the unexplained; just be sure to keep the light on.
