Not much is known about the fifth spirit. One medium said it could be the spirit of a child. Jennifer was a prostitute that was strangled and stabbed to death. Claudia used to work at the fish market. As for Stephen, his history is not known, however dogs and small children do not like going to the back area of the brewery.

      Hello, I use to live in a house from the mid 90s til 07 right next to at the time was called Stokes market. I’m now 34 so I was a kid when I lived there. Since I was a kid I thought my houses was haunted because we were told a story about a prostitute which sounds a-lot like the Jennifer girl. All my life I never knew that the market was haunted.

    I am looking for stories associated with hauntings crossroads in Sanford Florida. Play the address is 802 or 809 East 2nd Street. He's a former retirement home and prior to that it said to be a mortuary. I saw apparitions there 2 nights in a row in April 2013. It was then and is currently now counseling / drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. Check workers at that time so the apparitions and experiences we were having we're pretty much common place. I'm very surprised to see that I can't find anything else on these hauntings
