Florida's sunny climate and tourist attractions draw plenty of
visitors - some of whom never leave. This compilation of
supernatural tales shows Florida to be a state rife with eerie
occurrences and ghostly denizens. The stories include the spirit of
Uncle Charlie at Fernandina Beach's Palace Saloon, the infamous
Chupacabras of south Florida, a count's strange obsession with his

This is an autobiography of my life, in which I have shared
different segments of time in order to reach out to those that may
relate to my experiences. The idea of this book was heavy on my
heart for a few years, due to the continued reports of sexual abuse
that has been broadcast around our country. The reality that the
total number of registered sex offenders in this nation has
increased to staggering numbers, beckons for someone to try
something to reverse this frightening trend. It is clear that a
cycle of perversion has swept our country from generation to
generation, harming many innocent victims along the way. It is my
goal to create a tool that the Holy Spirit of God can use to change
the wicked hearts of those caught in this cycle of perversion. My
focus through this book is to share how I was freed from the
bondage of sexual immorality. This book describes to the reader how
the Lord Jesus worked in my heart and life. Using the wisdom of His
Word to re-direct the choices I made on a daily basis. I was
changed both mentally and spiritually and I have complete faith
that the Lord can too change others overtaken in sexual immorality.
This change is laid out in detail in hopes that those affected will
learn from my mistakes in order to deter them from making the same
mistakes.
From Atlanta to the Coastal Plain, Georgia is rich with tales of
the supernatural. This collection draws from the state's historic
past with stories of phantom pirates from the coast and restless
Civil War spirits from Sherman's March and Andersonville Prison.

monstrous Hogzilla of River Oak Plantation, make appearances.

Savannah, the ghost of Mary MacRae searching for her lost love on
St. Simons Island, and dozens more.
Twenty-six haunting tales of Florida's ghosts, from a haunted

Augustine, America's oldest city.
Scarface ingeniously traces the origin of today's violence,
bloodshed and wickedness, to the first bloodshed and murder on the
face of the earth, back to Cain and Abel. It took a great flood
that destroyed the wicked children of Cain; the children of Noah
replenished the earth. Two of Noah's sons replenished the earth
with pagan gentiles, godless and wicked evil children; their
children were Canaanites and Cushites, they are known as the
children of Scarface until this day. These gentiles with the help
of the Jews crucified and shed the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son
of the Most High God. They persecuted the children of the Most High
God and the church. Children killing their fathers and mothers,
parents murdered and abused their children, brothers killing their
sisters and brothers in the streets and in the homes. This book is
in sequence to "My Little Garden of Eden" a place in time once
abundant is now desolate and barren. Evil spiritual forces came out
from the wilderness and arrived in the cities, it dwelled in the
mind of evildoers, the wicked children of Scarface. Many
unbelievers found refuge in the churches, they became sheep amongst
wolves, but many were wolves disguised in sheep clothing. They
carry a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other, their lips speak
enticing words that deceived many, but their hearts were full of
poisonous venom. The children of Scarface lust for material wealth,
money and young women, they prowled in darkness and take pride in
violence and bloodshed. They roamed the streets at night seeking to
devour the vulnerable poor and the weak. Am I my brother's keeper?

I have focused on the idea of man in creation and have tried to
clarify it. Perhaps there is as much confusion and uncertainty here
as anywhere today, even in Christian ranks. There is confusion and
uncertainty of the beginning of man, was he created as man as of
today or did he evolve from an ape? Also, there are other things
that confuse and seem uncertain to man that I tried to point out in
this study. The idea of God is being attacked in many ways and in
many quarters. But there seems to be, also, a growing recognition
of man's need of God. Man within himself is helpless in the midst
of hostile forces on every hand. God is man's only refuge and help
in time of need. I feel that man should know about his total self,
and relationship with God. I will try to point out and focus on
studies of man before the world was created, the three-folds of
man's nature and functional parts, his fall and punishment, and
also his renewal stages and his final destiny.

Nothing like some good ghost stories on a cool Florida evening
around a campfire (or at home in your favorite reading chair). And
nothing like a swamp as a good, scary setting, especially Florida's
famous ones--from the Everglades to Mosquito Lagoon. Mysterious
things just happen in swamps. Maybe it's because they are often
wet, shadowy places of wild beauty where few people go. Where else
but a swamp can you find a ghost who is obsessed with the ghost
orchid? Throw in a skunk ape or two and you've got the ingredients
for many entertaining hours. In writing tales for this book, Doug
Alderson drew upon many years of entertaining young people as a
summer camp counselor and storyteller, and also from decades as a
swamp explorer. He is a former associate editor of Florida Wildlife
magazine. To learn more about his writing and photography, log onto

Many people have precognitive dreams, others hear voices or see
things once in a while, and some get a funny feeling in their bones
telling them that something is wrong. It tends to run in families.
In August of 2000, shortly after my sister-in-law, Diane, died,
dark shadows started to attack my daughter Mary during the night.
At first, fearful of sounding crazy, she didn't tell anyone. Who
would believe her? When Mary finally got up the nerve to tell her
roommate about the attacks, she was shocked to discover that Lauren
had seen things too. Then another friend, Ned, told her evil
spirits surrounded her. How would he know that? When Mary called to
tell me that weird things had been happening to her and her
friends, paranormal activity was furthest from my mind. They all
liked to party so I reasoned that it must be drugs and alcohol
causing this hysteria. But when Mary moved out, the weird things
stopped for them, not for her. As the attacks escalated, she could
see the shadows gather in the corner of her living room. She
started hearing voices, and the TV and radio were nothing but
static. Mary hid her problems from me as for long as she could, but
I knew there was something seriously wrong. I was having dreams
that she was in danger. Even then, I refused to believe her
problems were paranormal. Logically, I wanted them to be fixable
issues, like bad friends, or a sleep disorder, or even mental
illness. That all changed when I finally realized that Mary really
was being attacked by evil spirits. My daughter's story is about
that year.
