Cover of Ghosts, Legends & Lore from Florida: St. Augustine and St. Johns County by Jonah Bell

Ghosts, Legends & Lore from Florida

St. Augustine and St. Johns County

Available now

In St. Augustine, history rarely stays in one version — a city gate becomes the setting for a named child, an old hotel acquires a gray lady, a cemetery story crosses the street and changes address.

Across the county's Indigenous homelands, Spanish and British rule, and centuries of change, this volume separates documented history from folklore, tourism circulation, and claims the record cannot confirm.
