I listened to this book of mildly entertaining stories on the way to the airport for my Key West trip. None were particularly frightening. It was interesting to learn a bit about the legends and history of the area, such as the tree at Captain Tony‘s supposedly being the original hanging tree for the town and about the supposed ghost of Hemingway still spending time at his place. I‘d rather recommend a ghost tour for anyone planning a visit.

I bought this book in Key West this summer and finally read it. The brief sections like above were helpful to tell where the #ghosts hauntings are reported but the descriptions of the ghosts were just meh. We visited the lighthouse above though so it's still a nice keepsake from the trip. On and it qualifies for #signedsunday too.

Megabooks Sorry it wasn‘t better, but it sounds like you had a fun time 😀 7y
Kaye Isn‘t it hard to find really good true ghost stories ? So many of them are just lacking. 7y
Debiw781 @Kaye Good point! At least this book gave locations for the events 7y
