This book perhaps more accurately could be called "Haunted and Haunting St. Augustine", as parts of it do not include actual haunted places, but places that by virtue of history are haunting in their abandonment. From explorers to soldiers to the ever present Henry Flagler, all phases and classes of history are represented here. I would recommend this as a book to purchase, if you are in the vicinity of St. Augustne, or frequently travel there. I think it would make for an enjoyable self-guided tour to use this book and visit the sites that are on historic and ghost tours, as well as those that are not included on most tours, whether from lack of interest, or due to distance.
Especially interesting is the inclusion of a short history of each place as well as the obligatory ghost stories. One is also reminded in this book how often we are walking on ground that conceals the bodies of the historic dead.
