Book excerpt: St. Petersburg is known as the Sunshine City. But, where there is sun, there are shadows. This book, which accompanies several local pop-up ghost tours produced by the SPIRITS of St. Petersburg, LLC, and St. Petersburg Paranormal Investigation, LLC, attempts to hone in on the lesser known ghost stories of our area. This volume takes a look at three historic haunted locations in Pinellas County. The first is Patty and Friends Antiques Mall found in the business district of 9th Street North (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Street North). The store is housed in two converted apartment buildings constructed in 1915 and 1920. Inside, we find the enigmatic Tinkerer, a ghost whose presence makes a room go chilly. Upstairs is the Seamstress, an overworked woman with an eye for fashion. The third presence is nicknamed the Protector and appears as a dapper man in a seersucker suit who watches over the store. Next, visit the Suntan Art Center housed in the historic Don Vista building on St. Pete Beach. Thomas Rowe, who may be one of the spirits still residing within, once lived here while the Don Ce-Sar was under construction. Upstairs is the Hostess, a lovely woman who enjoys music, dancing, and the art shows produced by the artists of the Suntan Art Center. Finally, there is the Running Man who moves at a frantic pace through the building, constantly worried about his paperwork (there is some speculation that this may be the unsettled spirit of Mr. Rowe, himself). The last stop is the Palladium, a building converted from a church to a theater. Here is the enigmatic Lady in Red walks through the Queen's Promenade and watches the performances within.Join us for the lesser known stories illustrating the marvelous history of St. Petersburg and her residents -- then and now.
