Summary: dissapointed
Comment: I bought the book hoping for some actual solid stories to help me with my research. What I found was a collection of 'tourist' stories with no thrill and little substance. It seems as though it was written for the sheer purpose of selling and leaves very much to be desired in both content and technique.

Summary: One Bore doesn't ruin the Boo.
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. I recently went to St. Augustine and enjoyed one of the ghost tours there so I knew I had to have this book. The story of 'The Gallant Governor' is my only complaint. This story wasn't spooky or scary at all. It was just plain silly and if anything could make one think all the other stories are a bunch of rubbish. The two main characters in the story are ridiculous. It's very very bad. But the other stories are excellent. 'Toques Place' and 'Ghost Tour' are great. They give you chills and will make you wonder what that noise was in the other room. I loved this book and look forward to reading the second volume.

Summary: Boo
Comment: The only way to describe this book is - great! It is easy reading with many small unrelated ghost stories. I have found that my son and kids in his grade also enjoy the book. I really recommend this book, especially if you are planning a trip to St. Augustine.

Summary: Excellent book
Comment: I am completly satisfied with this book! It's so interesting. It goes along perfectly with the ghost tour that I went on in St. Augustine. It has stories of Flagler college which I am putting an application into. Nice job on this book!

Summary: Ghosts of our Oldest City, St Augustine
Comment: Published in 1997, this is a great collection of ghost stories of our nation's oldest city. One gets the flavor of this city, the Spanish quarter, the lighthouse, Flagler College, among the unique buildings and places reported to be haunted. Anyone who has ever walked the historic district at night can attest to the strong feeling of history and it certainly can make one wonder if they are really alone. A great little book, and a nice start to the library of anyone who travels... usually regional collections of ghost stories are available in many localities, and they make a unique remembrance of a trip. After reading this, perhaps you will be willing to brave a night in room 3A at the St. Francis Inn!
