Today we're taking the Ford Edge on our "One Tank Away" trip, and this time we won't have to go very far... because we're looking for a little history and mystery in- Pensacola! Haunted Pensacola!"
Historic Pensacola Village is usually a sunny, pleasant place, but ghost will have their way according to Beverly Stagg. She's one of the guides for the Pensacola Historical Museum's Summer Ghost Tours!
"When a tour guide was giving her tour once when the house was vacant, she thought it would be ok going up on the porch, as we are now. And as she started to go in the gate, a man's voice said 'Don't bring those people on my porch!' "
That's just one of many creepy incidents that have happened during tours. The history of these old houses is even spookier! And not just houses! When the skeletons of three priests were discovered on the grounds of this old church, they were properly reburied- but even as the re internment ceremony was taking place-
"There were three mysterious men in long robes who appeared and then vanished!" says Beverly.
Then there's the story of the woman who was mysteriously "pushed" down the stairs... but I could go on and on and I'm not the only one!
"Our museum has a ghost!" Wendi Davis tells me. She watches over the Pensacola Historical Museum.
"Really?"
"The building next door has a ghost! There's a ghost over in that museum!"
Boo!
Now, the Ford Edge gets 456 miles per tank of gas, ad traveling to pensacola from Mobile we used about a quarter of a tank, If you live in Pensacola, well, you could practically walk! As long as it's not raining...
