Program Description

Details

Southwest Florida has always been a draw for people looking to get away, but the dark timeline of this part of the state has left a mark not easily wiped away. The history of the area is filled with pirates, corrupt politicians, and people looking to escape. The same beautiful skies that attract people today may be the reason why some people never leave. It makes for a colorful past, but also 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. Fun and sun has never been so creepy. 

This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Gulf Gate Library.
