Oldest Ghosts tells of unexplained exploits by the spirits dwelling in St. Augustine, the oldest city of European origin in the United States. Judge John Stickney watches from a tree limb above his cemetery monument. A Colonial-period ghost hangs laundry in a Spanish courtyard. The ghost of Will Green, who died in 1802, routinely enters the bodies of men drinking in a bar. Some residents and visitors tolerate the playful spirits. Others prefer not to acknowledge them. Either way, the ghosts abide.
