Haunted Pensacola
Über dieses E-Book
The seaport of Pensacola may boast the world’s whitest beaches, but there’s a darker history in America’s first settlement . . .
It’s no surprise that one of the nation’s oldest cities is also among the most haunted, with culturally diverse spirits from the ages of the Spanish founders and British settlers through the turbulent era of the Civil War. Author and expert Alan Brown presents a survey of unexplained mysteries at Pensacola’s eerie landmarks. The infamous haunted lighthouse, the ghosts of St. Michael’s Cemetery, and the tale of the headless woman of Romana Street are just a few of the chilling stories recounted in Haunted Pensacola.

Alan Brown was born in Alton, Illinois. After attending Millikin University, Southern Illinois University and the University of Illinois, he taught high school in Springfield, Illinois. In 1986, he began teaching English at the University of West Alabama. After living in the South for a year, Brown became interested in the folklore of the South and began collecting it on his own. "People talk in the Midwest, "? Brown said, "but not like they do in the South. I guess this is why southerners are great storytellers."? When he is not teaching freshman composition or American literature, Dr. Brown writes books on his favorite topic: ghost stories. Haunted Birmingham is his tenth collection of southern ghost tales. As much as he loves old stories that send shivers up the spine, Brown's first love is his wife, Marilyn, and his two daughters, Andrea and Vanessa.
