Episode 47…The Three Ghostly Witches of Florida

Why are there stories of ghostly witches in locations throughout Florida…and why are most of these places actually haunted?

The Trippers are on the track of three different witch legends attached to ghost stories in Florida.

Natalie Crist and Christopher Balzano turn their eyes to the state capital of Tallahassee to explore the infamousWitch Grave of Old City Cemetery. They then travel east to the story
of Wiccademous and her path of torture before settling on Hog Island and the lost settlement that has now been saddled with a witchy story to explain the ghosts seen there.


You can contact us with questions, comments, and your favorite legend or tidbit of folklore at spookytripping@gmail.com.

We’re still knee deep in the #hauntedlove project, so we’re especially looking for ghost stories with a love twist.

The book, part of the Haunted America Series, was written to be a frightening yet friendly journey through the heart of the forest and the towns dealing with its shadow. This meant many of the stories I heard and the rumors I followed up on could not be part of the book. There was something too dark and too complex for this kind of book. When I then published Ghostly Tales of the Ocala National Forest for a younger audience, many of those stories became even more watered down. Two New Books Take a Close Look at the Haunted of Southwest Florida Okay…for the new full multimedia drop pages… Episode 137…Is the Ghost in the Details? Episode 136…This Redhead Ain’t Hitchin Thank you from @truetoursfortmyers for an amazing 2025. Strange thing are afoot at the Circle K. The new book Ghostly Tales of Southwest Florida arrived today.
