Synopsis: Take a spine-tingling plunge into Florida's pirate-filled past! Meet Florida's spooky pirates! Stay alert! Ghosts lurk around every corner. Even the most unexpected places might be haunted by wandering phantoms. Did you know that the city of St. Augustine is positively packed with ghostly pirates? Or that on Gasparilla Island, you might just spot a headless buccaneer and his "spirited" steed galloping down the beach? Can you believe a three-hundred-year-old ghost ship and its cursed crew still haunts the waterways of the Florida Everglades? Shiver me timbers! Pulled right from history, these ghostly tales will change the way you see Florida forever, and have you sleeping with the lights on!
