A Ghostly Experience: Tales of Saint Augustine Florida is a slim, softcover volume just two pages too long to be called a booklet. Most of the 26 brief stories in it have a black and white illustration. Most of the stories are about ghosts, but some are about other unusual occurrences.
A few of the stories that stick out for me are:
a. The one about poor Judge John B. Stickney whose remains wouldn't have been mistreated had his children allowed him to remain buried where he had wanted to be buried.
b. The horrible stench in the Bishop's tomb.
c. I wonder if the husband of the beautiful woman whose life Colonel Joseph Smith saved had wanted her dead the first time, considering his remark about the Apopinax tree...
d. Doctor Frederick Weedon's treatment of Seminole war chief Osceola's head made me feel outraged. He should have gone to jail!
e. The story of the small people in the apartment with African artifacts suggests such artifacts be treated with respect.
f. Ida Alice Flagler, who tried to murder her husband Henry under the delusion that the Czar of Russia wanted to marry her, should have be grateful it wasn't real, given what happened in 1918. (Ida and Henry were married from 1883-1901. Czar Nicholas II was married to Alexandra in 1894.) On the other hand, an article I just read online suggests that Henry had Alice declared incurably insane, got a law passed to make incurable insanity grounds for divorce, divorced her, and had her put away so he could marry his third wife.
g. Interesting that the revenuers never figured out that the widow who owned the Casablanca boarding house was signaling to the rumrunners when it wasn't safe for them to come to her place.
h. I really like the man who had no problem with sharing his house with the ghost of a calico cat.
It's an easy read and would probably be useful to ghost enthusiasts planning to visit St. Augustine. It's also fun for readers who enjoy allegedly non-fictional ghost stories. ( )

'A Ghostly Experience' had its beginnings in 1994 when Sandy Craig, owner of Tour Saint Augustine Inc, decided school groups staying overnight needed a fun, educational activity in the evenings.
