    "Ghost hunters" say that old churches are often haunted. That may be true, but the Unitarian Universalist church in Tarpon Springs is still unusual. The church has a famous collection of landscape paintings by artist George Inness, Jr. According to legend, the paintings are protected by the ghost of a female docent. Noisy visitors have been told to hush and doors have been opened and closed by an unseen presence. Inness was a mystic. He died during the 1920s, but he continued to have his admirers, In 2019, he was accepted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame.
