BOOK REVIEW: HISTORIC HAUNTS FLORIDA
“One of the, er, "quirky" things about us ghosthunters is that, even when we think of vacation, beaches, and sunshine, we think of... the dead. Jamie Roush, has put together the ultimate guide for parapsychologists in Paradise, or anyone with an interest in historic hauntings. "Historic Haunts Florida" has everything you would expect: creaky lighthouses, drafty bed and breakfasts, haunted marinas. And all of our old favorites are here, including the Key West ghosts of the Hemingway home and the never-fail tale of Robert the Doll. But Roush is an insider, and she brings also brings the reader some great stories from the case files of her own creeping around, including stories of the Versace mansion, St. Augustine's aviation graveyard , and the supernatural residue of the Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 34, where a cabin fire took the lives of the entire crew during a launch test in January 1967. Part of this section includes Roush's recollection of standing on a nearby causeway when the shuttle Challenger exploded. And it is this first hand, narrative style, by one who has lived and breathed the ghosts of Florida her entire adult life, which makes this book such an engaging read, even for seasoned investigators. The blend of history and paranormal investigation and introspection is perfect. Highly recommended.”
