Print ArticleIf you're the type of person who believes in ghost, ghouls, and goblins, here are few sites in town you might want to avoid this weekend.
Captain W.J. King Residence
This Mayport house was occupied by Captain William Joseph King in the late 19th century. It's been the site of so many freaky things that in 1968, parapsychology researchers from Duke University examined the residence. Their report concluded that some sort of "presence" exists within the house.

Witnesses say a rocking chair moves on its own, the very chair where some say King’s aunt was killed by pitchfork by a jealous ex-boyfriend. High heels have been heard walking in the unoccupied attic, and another ghost called Little Butler is said to open doors for visitors. A spirit maid is said to throw her weight around in the kitchen, and a ghostly bride is said to reside here as well. She is rumored to have died in a car crash outside the house on her wedding day. A 1999 book called Jetty Man by Bill Reynolds tells of the hauntings.
