Abstract

The Osceola's Head and Other American Ghost stories by Walter Harter is a collection of eerie stories involving ghost sightings in the United States. One particular story involves the Castillo de San Marcos and the ghost of a chief of the Seminole tribe, Osceola. While the stories are not disturbingly scary, they are not completely innocent either as they are based on the history of the land.
