One dark and stormy night, an English ship was overtaken by pirates. The captain and crew were killed, and the only two lives which were spared were those of two English girls. The pirates then sailed toward what is now known as Navarre Beach, and took the females ashore. When one of the pirates attempted to forcefully have his way with one of the girls, she refused and attempted to escape -and was subsequently tortured and beheaded with his large saber. The legend tells that they buried her without her head. The exact location is unknown.
Throughout the generations, many late-night fishermen have claimed to have seen her ghost wandering between the dunes, along the coastline, and in search of her head -which to this day has never been found.
Some of these fishermen were so frightened by what they saw, they never returned to Santa Rosa island Island at nighttime -and never fished there, again.
