Oldest Ghosts: St. Augustine Haunts [Paperback]

Oldest Ghosts tells of unexplained exploits by the spirits dwelling in St. Augustine, the oldest city of European origin in the United States.

• Judge John Stickney watches from a tree limb above his cemetery monument.
• A Colonial-period ghost hangs laundry in a Spanish courtyard.
• The ghost of Will Green, who died in 1802, routinely enters the bodies of men drinking in a bar.

Some residents and visitors tolerate the playful spirits. Others prefer not to acknowledge them. Either way, the ghosts abide.

Karen Harvey has written books and articles about St. Augustine since her arrival in the Ancient City in 1978. Ms. Harvey was the arts and entertainment editor of the St. Augustine Record for seven years. It was there she first met her ghosts (or they met her). She also conducts ghost tours as well as educational tours for Tour Saint Augustine, Inc. She lives in her favorite town with her husband, John, and children, Kristina and Jason.
