4.0 out of 5 stars Ghosts of our Oldest City, St Augustine, May 28, 2000
By A Customer
Published in 1997, this is a great collection of ghost stories of our nation's oldest city. One gets the flavor of this city, the Spanish quarter, the lighthouse, Flagler College, among the unique buildings and places reported to be haunted. Anyone who has ever walked the historic district at night can attest to the strong feeling of history and it certainly can make one wonder if they are really alone. A great little book, and a nice start to the library of anyone who travels... usually regional collections of ghost stories are available in many localities, and they make a unique remembrance of a trip. After reading this, perhaps you will be willing to brave a night in room 3A at the St. Francis Inn!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great little book about a great little town, June 1, 1999
By Eric Smith (Gainesville, FL USA) - See all my reviews
As a long-time resident of St. Augustine (recently relocated) I grew up hearing many of these stories from my friends and neighbors. Reading them in such well written prose was like talking at length to an old friend. Few of the 'serious' historical accounts of my hometown convey the feel of St. Augustine as well as this book. Nearly every shopkeeper in St. Augustine describes this as their 'best seller.' I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Bore doesn't ruin the Boo., March 12, 2005
I really enjoyed this book. I recently went to St. Augustine and enjoyed one of the ghost tours there so I knew I had to have this book. The story of 'The Gallant Governor' is my only complaint. This story wasn't spooky or scary at all. It was just plain silly and if anything could make one think all the other stories are a bunch of rubbish. The two main characters in the story are ridiculous. It's very very bad. But the other stories are excellent. 'Toques Place' and 'Ghost Tour' are great. They give you chills and will make you wonder what that noise was in the other room. I loved this book and look forward to reading the second volume.
