In “Ghost Stories & Graveyard Tales: Florida,” readers will wander through the shadowy realms of Florida’s most haunted cemeteries, including the historic Old City Cemetery in Jacksonville and the eerie Pinewood Cemetery in Daytona. These hallowed grounds are more than just resting places; they are the homes of spectral apparitions and restless spirits who linger among the old tombstones.
