Pensacola may boast the world's whitest beaches, but the sands of
time reveal a dark history in America's first settlement. It's no
surprise that one of the nation's oldest cities is also among the
most haunted, with culturally diverse spirits from the ages of the
Spanish founders and British settlers through the turbulent era of
the Civil War. Author and expert Alan Brown presents a survey of
unexplained mysteries at Pensacola's eerie landmarks. The infamous
haunted lighthouse, the ghosts of St. Michael's Cemetery and the
tale of the headless woman of Ramona Street are just a few of the
chilling stories recounted in Haunted Pensacola.

Seeking a temporary escape from the city and a world gone mad, Alan
Brown plots out a personal challenge: an epic coast-to-coast trip
through the lonely interior of the Highlands. He traverses paths
historic and new, eschewing creature comforts and high-tech gear,
trusting his (mostly) serviceable bike and his own skills. Armed
with the essentials and a sense of curiosity, he discovers more
about nature, people, our country, risk and himself than he ever
thought possible. Alan traces a route from Argyllshire's Loch Etive
across remote Rannoch moors, dramatic Grampian terrain and the
beautiful glens of Strathspey to reach the Moray Firth at Findhorn.
Ready for all weathers and obstacles, he succumbs to the hypnotic
daily routine of ride, eat, sleep, repeat. He's savouring the
landscapes, the wildlife and the solitude, and relishing the
self-reliance. He is also picking up clues to past lives and
discovering how the land has been altered by industry and game
sports or, sometimes, conserved for wildlife and trees.
