Ghosts, Legends & Lore from Florida: The Space Coast

On Florida's Space Coast, ancient ground, rocket fire, and local memory occupy the same narrow strip of land. Long before launchpads transformed the horizon, the Brevard coast held the Windover burials, Ais communities, riverboat routes, citrus groves, churches, farms, and towns built around the Indian River Lagoon. Later generations carried new stories into theaters, preserved homes, Cocoa Village, Melbourne, Titusville, and the federal launch landscape. Across twenty-six carefully researched chapters, Ghosts, Legends & Lore from Florida: The Space Coast follows Cape Canaveral's moving lighthouse, the Sams and Pritchard houses, Harry and Harriette Moore, the Cocoa Beach space boom, Green Gables, local ghost traditions, Bumper 8, Apollo 1, and Challenger. Jonah Bell keeps a clear line between documented history, attributed folklore, and claims the surviving record cannot confirm. Every chapter includes a Location Guide and source notes.
