My special guest is Christopher Balazano, who's here to discuss the one place in Florida where people reported strange creatures, dead bodies, and the cemeteries there disappearing off the face of the earth. Get his book Haunted Ocala National Forest) on Amazon. Central Florida is known as the happiest place on Earth. But an hour's drive from the amusement parks lies a forest swirling with mystery. For generations, locals have whispered about dark energy coming from the Ocala National Forest and drifting into nearby towns. Supernatural beasts and apparitions. Ghost lights galore. From cults to monsters to the spirits of those who ventured in yet never reemerged, the woods have long been a source of rumor and tragedy. The vengeful Coyote Woman who dispatches those with evil natures. The soldier of Fort King who vanishes when addressed. The spectral monk of Astor is on the hunt for his killer. Author and folklorist Christopher Balzano takes readers among the trees and beyond to offer a glimpse into the true stories, urban legends, and haunted folklore whispered among the residents of these deep woods.
