fernandina beach

We took a break and a trip! Jumping back into Episode 35 we took a Fourth of July jaunt to Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach for a Ghost Tour! We bring you from that hot, sweaty, slightly stormy night Femme Fatales of Fernandina! Like the name? We made it up. But can we say the same about the stories on the tour? You'll have to listen to find out!
