Jonathan Dickinson State Park (Martin County)
Nicknamed the “Wildman of Loxahatchee,” Vince “Trapper” Nelson is the identity of the ghost said to roam Jonathan Dickinson State Park. After moving to the area in the 1930s, Trapper eventually accumulated 858 acres of land along the Loxahatchee River. In 1968, Trapper was found dead from a shotgun wound. A coroner declared it a suicide, but some who knew of his run-ins with the locals believed he was murdered. After his death, the state acquired his land and it became part of Jonathan Dickinson State Park in 1970.
