| It is wonderful that five thousand years have now elapsed since the creation of the world, and still it is undecided whether or not there has ever been an instance of the spirit of any person appearing after death. All argument is against it; but all belief is for it. |

| The murder of Athalia Ponsell Lindsley is notorious more than four decades after it occurred. The only eyewitness said a man attacked Lindsley with a machete in broad daylight on the front steps of her white mansion. Gossip swirled that neighbor Frances Bemis knew who killed Lindsley and would notify authorities. Bemis was later murdered on her nightly walk. Police arrested only one suspect for Lindsley’s murder, which remains unsolved to this day. |

| Awesome history,
I got this book expecting to read only a ghost story book, but was pleasantly pleased to find it also a history of St Augustine and the surrounding area. |
| Must read! Well researched with little known facts about America's oldest continuously settled community. It's written to convey facts not feelings and sensationalism. |
|

Even if you have never visited the region it will be revealing and enlightening. If you have visited the area it will give you a new vision of this most historic of places. |

Reviews |
Liz Randall has crafted a wonderfully offbeat narrative that describes in colorful detail a slice of Florida you won't find in the guide books. Randall helps us more fully appreciate how a supernatural world of eerie lights and scary noises and wispy apparitions of "Women in White" are a lot more a a part of the Florida character than we may realize. If you think alligators in swimming pools and giant exotic snakes are strange, you ain't see nothing yet!

| -Bill Belleville Award-winning film maker and author of Salvaging the Real Florida |
| Author Elizabeth Randall suggests that history is somewhat fearful when it comes to capturing romance. "Women in White" know no such fear. You will find History and romance nicely intermixed. And, after all, isn't romance the stuff history is made of? A fun read! |

| Liz and Bob live on a secluded street in Lake Mary, Florida. Both are transplants from the North, but grew up in South and Central Florida. Liz is a long time writer, and Bob is making it a family thing. We all love ghost stories and this one is enough to turn you white. |
