"Erie Florida: Chilling Tales from the Panhandle to the Keys" by Mark Muncy and Kari Schultz

I wanted to quickly mention the book, "Eerie Florida:  Chilling Tales from the Panhandle to the Keys" by Mark Muncy and Kari Schultz.....  This is a GREAT book with a lot of heart.

I have read a ton of strange/weird/ghost type books, and some are slopped together with little effort.  That is not the case with this nice volume.  These guys care about their state and its history.  They are efficient with their words too, giving you a lot of stories and information for your money.  There are over 20 chapters each covering an interesting legend in Florida.

They cover some well known spots.......  I think we all know about Cassadaga and St. Augustine, and they cover those areas, while still adding some lesser known tales relating to those locations.

The authors cover a lot of ground, telling about what they know, recommending other books, and mentioning some of the better tours/ghost walks they have done.  I was impressed with one story, ending with Muncy and Schultz not being able to get a boat captain to take them to a specific location because of its legend.

I could go on and on about this one, but make this one a must read before your next visit to Florida!

I was lucky enough to get my copy signed by the authors at the recent Frogman Festival!
