Sea Turtle Inn

Once a tavern historically popular amongst pirates, the Sea Turtle Inn is now an enchanting coastal Floridian hotel and bar that boasts stunning gothic architecture, scenic views, and a nightlife that can best be described as, well… unique. Accomplished paranormalist Andrew Wells has been hired by the current owner to investigate claims that the Sea Turtle Inn’s rooms are haunted by the unruly, restless, and randy spirits of Black Roger and Dirty Davy, two rival pirates rumored to have murdered one another over a woman. But the truth story behind the pirates' tale and the degree to which the Sea Turtle Inn is actually haunted turns out to be more complicated than centuries' old rumor and popular reputation would imply.


As he thoroughly investigates each room with reports of poltergeist activity and possession, Andrew finds himself more intrigued by the inn's enigmatic proprietor, Davis. After inheriting the inn from family, maintaining the Sea Turtle Inn and keeping its staff and guests has been Davis' sole focus, leaving little time for self-contemplation or a personal life. But it is precisely Davis' personal secrets that Andrew is drawn to most. And it is resolving those secrets that may prove key to finally putting the tumultuous and potentially dangerous spirits to rest.
