Sometime in the late 1930's or early 1940's, Clearwater Beach had stations for both the Coast Guard and a military Police Training Barracks. Army MP's would train there for deployment to WWII. Many of the MP trainees reported sightings of a young woman in her early 20's running down the beach while wearing an all-white dress. It is said that she was engaged to be married to a G.I. who was shipped overseas. When he died in combat, she disappeared days later and some suspect she coimmited suicide. She apparently still waits for him to return to her. She is still spotted at times running down the beach. As soon as someone approaches, she vanishes into thin air. At times she will mumble at very low levels, but the only words that can be made out are "John", and "Wait". While many have seen her, she appears only at night during the summer months.
