&nbsp;Every Island Has Its Ghosts. Ours Have Stories. A Halloween Presentation of Local Legends, Lost Souls &amp; Lingering Mysteries Behind the beautiful beaches and familiar landmarks of Fort Myers Beach lie stories that have been whispered about for generations. Join the Estero Island Historic Society for a fascinating Halloween journey into the island&#39;s mysterious past, where documented history meets ghostly legends. Discover the haunting tales of the Holmes House, where unexplained footsteps reportedly echoed through empty rooms; the Pelican Hotel, scene of a tragic Christmas gathering; and the Mermaid Club, where the memory of beloved owners Jim and Mary Galloway still lingers in island folklore. We&#39;ll also explore the mysterious woman said to appear in the windows of the historic Mound House and the ancient legends surrounding Mound Key, once home to the powerful Calusa civilization. Through historic photographs, atmospheric illustrations, and storytelling, we&#39;ll bring these fascinating places and their unforgettable stories to life. Some stories are history. Some are legend. And some refuse to disappear. 🎃 Saturday, October 31, 2026 Two Presentations:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">11:00 AM</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">7:00 PM</li></ul>Location: Estero Island Historic Society 161 Bay Road, Fort Myers Beach, Florida Admission: FREE &mdash; Reservations Suggested Seating is limited to just 25 guests per presentation.
