Southwest Florida has always been a draw for people looking for an escape, and the same enduring appeal that attracts people today might be the reason why some of the deceased may have never left. With a history full of pirates, shipwrecks, criminals, and war, Florida has a colorful past and some scary ghost stories. Join folklorist, author, and legend tripper Christopher Balzano as he takes you from historic Venice to the cemeteries of Punta Gorda and Arcadia to the haunted Singing River of Bradenton.

Christopher Balzano is a teacher, writer, folklorist, and the current host of the podcast Tripping on Legends.  He has been documenting the unexplained since 1994 and has been a figure in the paranormal world through his books, articles, and his work as the director of Massachusetts Paranormal Crossroads and now Tripping on Legends.
