Here's a famous ghost story from South Florida:

The crew was preoccupied with a landing gear problem and was trying to replace the landing gear light while on autopilot and in a holding pattern. As the captain got up to help, he inadvertently pushed on the yoke releasing the autopilot. With no ground reference and under nighttime conditions, the aircraft gradually descended until it crashed into Everglades, 18.7 miles west-northwest of Miami . The accident was caused by the failure of the crew to monitor the flight instruments during the final 4 minutes of flight, and to detect a descent soon enough to prevent impact with the ground.
After spare parts from the L-1011 were used on other planes, apparitions of the dead captain and flight engineer began to be reported by Eastern employees on the planes using the spare parts. The book and movie "Ghost of Flight 401" is based on this accident.
