On some fog enshrouded morningsthe past becomes palpable when an unearthly waif emerges from the mist or eerie spectral shipwreck victims roam the shore. Eyewitnesses attest these spooky scenarios exist! So do the spirits inhabiting some of the island's landmark establishments. Who knew Kapler's Pharmacy harbored a ghost? Well, actually two. Andy's at the Light displays morethan souvenirs and fishing tackle. Surflight Theatre patrons might be curious about the ghostly goings-on behind the scenes. These snippets only hint at the tantalizing tales subsisting "six miles at sea."
