The Story
Ghosts & Gravestones recounts a headless soldier pacing the ramparts, accompanied in some accounts by marching sounds and sudden chills. Another legend concerns a woman’s cries echoing through the coquina corridors. These are military-fort stories with shifting explanations for the spirits’ identities, preserved in the city’s commercial ghost-tour tradition.
