July Moonlight. According to volunteers at Fort Clinch State Park (above) in Fernandina Beach, Florida, a small detachment of phantom soldiers manifests every year on moonlit nights during the month of July. Ranger Robert Berringer enjoys telling visitors about the night two volunteers looking out onto the grounds, bathed in the light of a full moon, observed the apparitions of four soldiers in dark uniforms with shiny brass buttons exit a tunnel and hurry over an embankment. “The next year,” he continues, “the volunteers made sure they were there again during the July full moon. And sure enough, three ghosts came down the northwest bastion tunnel, crossed the parade ground and started up the ramp. One of the volunteers called out to the spooks: ‘There were four of you last year. Where’s the fourth man?’ And one of the figures called back: ‘He’s sick tonight. Couldn’t come!’” (For other ghost stories about Fort Clinch, see “Blithe Spirits and Other Phantoms of Fort Clinch.”)
The July full moon is two weeks from today. Is anyone planning to hold a "ghost watch" at Fort Clinch? whatliesbeyond.boards.net/thread/11244/blithe-spirits-phantoms-fort-clinch
