In a special bonus episode of Seacoast Stories, Juniper Pickwick returns the show to tell more stories of Portsmouth's haunted past. This time around, Pickwick tells host Troy Farkas tales from Portsmouth's oldest cemetery, the Point of Graves, which give a fascinating window into what life in colonial Portsmouth was really like. Plus, the real story behind the fires that burned the city down, and a look inside the complicated life of John Paul Jones, one of Portsmouth's most famous figures.
