This book could have been interesting, but is in dire need of an editor. The geography is way off in several chapters (Bermuda is now off the coast of Florida east of the Bahamas, and Delray Beach is now located south of Boca, among others) There are stories told that are misrepresented, which could’ve been prevented with quick internet search (like that of Cooley Landings in Fort Lauderdale). There are many short anecdotes that don’t have any real story or history behind them and don’t add anything to the book, maybe just used to stretch the pages. Florida has enough ghostly legends to make an interesting read, this just isn’t it.
