Yep, is in Pcola Beach not Gulf Breeze... I believe this one survive the hurricanes. Many of the UFO incidents are associated with the Special Operation Forces training and high tech toys in the Eglin Range....


1987-Gulf Breeze, Florida. Of the many accounts of UFO sightings, photographs, and videos, the sensational reports that originated in Gulf Breeze, Florida are some of the most controversial. Gulf Breeze was a small city of approximately 6,000 at the time of the wave of sightings that began in the winter of 1987. News of UFO photos par excellence spread rapidly and far, becoming a world-wide sensation, and the subject of a plethora of newspaper and magazine articles, and television talk and feature programs...continued in next clip.


1987-Gulf Breeze, Florida. Though many sighted the elusive flying craft and snapped photographs of the glowing lights, the majority of attention was on one Edward Walters, a local building contractor. According to Walters, the sightings began on November 11, 1987. He was working late that night when his attention was drawn to a light coming from his yard. As he went to the window to get a better vantage point, he saw a glowing object partially obscured by a 30 foot tall pine tree in his front yard. Racing outside to get a clearer view of the object, he was taken back by the sight before him. He was staring at an object with the shape of a top...

In 1947, Human blood oozed from the walls in a Jacksonville, Florida, house. Shortly after the mysterious event, the house burned to the ground---but the only unburned part that remained, was the wall where the blood had dripped from. Tradition says that the house had once been used for voodoo practice many years before.

There is a tale, told by old timers, of a twenty foot diameter circle called "the Devil's Circle" deep in the Black Water Swamp, in Lake County, near where the Wekiva River meets the St. John's river. Reportedly nothing grows inside this circle, it has always been totally barren of plant life and is extremely dry of moisture, even after heavy rains. Folklore has it, that objects placed inside the circle overnight will vanish.

Can you drive to this place? I've lived here 15 years and never heard of it! Guess it's not one of the 'must do' tourist traps....

Great tours and Ghosts.....many unique stories...

The Huguenot Cemetery opened in 1821 during a yellow fever epidemic. They called this cemetery Huguenot which refers to the French Explorers who established Fort Caroline and eventually Jacksonville in 1564. The French Huguenots were slaughtered in the St. Augustine Bay and Fort Caroline by the Spanish. Due to this tragedy the founder of St. Augustine traveled the Florida coast to claim it as Spain's and stopped at nothing based on the kings orders. Most of the French were Protestants that colonized in the St. Augustine area so they need a burial place kind of ironic I suppose. In 1821 Florida was owned by the United States and it was a troubled year one with many deaths. Some say that so many were dying so quickly that half of the graves were not even marked if this is the case that would mean many burials might have taken place outside of the rod iron which would mean some bodies may lay under the roads surrounding it. The cemetery was in use and burials stopped in 1884 since the cemetery no longer had no room for any more of the deceased and is owned by the Presbyterian Church. In the early 1800's, a caretaker found one of the graves of this cemetery dug out with the head of the corpse removed. This headless man is said to still wander through the cemetery today. Also, the ghost of Judge John B. Stickney who was a prominent citizen in town when he was struck down by typhoid fever and laid to rest in the Huguenot Cemetery in 1882, but was later exhumed when his children requested his remains be shipped to Washington D.C. During the exhumation, grave robbers attacked and stole the gold teeth from Stickney's skull. Residents say Judge Stickney's ghost can be seen at night, wandering around the cemetery with his head down, as if searching for something. Also the cemetery is rumored to be haunted by many children seen up in the trees and on gravestones. Those perhaps that perished from Yellow Fever. Photos have been taken that show orbs and what looks to be a spirit in the trees.

Here is something that you can go and see for yourself!
This little child's rocking chair has a legend of its own. Often called the "Litte Red Rocker", this 100 year old chair has been used by generations of children. It has a fascinating history, and probably ranks among the oldest pieces of Children's funiture from Central Florida's past. But the most bizarre tale about the little rocker, is that in the quiet of the night, it rocks on its own!!! The legend has it, that the ghost of a deceased child still rocks away in the chair. Research has documented two children who once used the chair, did die before the age of ten, both in the 1920s. Could the legend be true?? Who knows, but you can see this chair on exhibit at the MUSEUM OF SEMINOLE COUNTY HISTORY, off 17-92, south of Sanford, Florida. Admission is free, and there is a lot of amazing history at this museum.

[cmsvmom]

So do they open the museum at night so people can see this little red rocking chair, and keep the little ghosties company?
