Not “like new”

This was advertised as like new but was not. It was a library book that has clearly been read many times. Some pages were slightly torn.

Interesting read.

I love creepy ghosty things and this book doesnt dissapoint! It was interesting to see so much of my own town that I never knew about!

Fun reading

Had purchased a copy of this book while on vacation in south Florida. Enjoyed it so much that I decided to purchase copies for family as Christmas gifts. My husband and his family have been here since 1969 and always told me stories and I thought they were pulling my leg. Not So!! Fun reading for other states as well.

Florida at its weirdest!!

Funny, wacky, well-written and super illustrations. This is a terrific book on our beloved state. Do not be confused by another book with the same name. It's Charley Carlson who has our state perfectly in his sights. Love this book and strongly recommend it.

Weird Florida

This book is a hoot! I grew up in Florida and I must say that I've never heard of some of these--and the ones I have are Spot On! Everyone should visit Two Egg and the Devil's Millhopper to say that have been here instead of those central Florida theme parks. If they can't, this book is a close second. I can only say that I am sorry that they missed Look-and-Tremble Falls, the ghost in my sister's house, haunted Old Christ Church/Pensacola and the Lady of the Pensacola Light.

Wierd Florida fun book

After reading this book I now have a better idea of all of the bizzare things I drive past. The book made me want to hop in my car a do a few road trips. I especially enjoy the crazy online comments added as a follow up to the stories, it gives a nice twist...
