Haunted Florida Love Stories is out

Haunted Florida Love Stories is out

click to purchase…

Wide eyes, sweaty palms and a racing heart. Are these the tell-tale marks of a love story or a haunted tale? If the story is set in Florida, there’s a good chance it’s both. From the infamous Bellamy Bridge to a haunted lighthouse in Key West, love is in the air–but it isn’t always a good thing. Author and folklorist Christopher Balzano follows lingering campus whispers and trails that vanish into the swamp to track down the urban legends and ghostly lore of Sunshine State love affairs that live on even after death.

    […] Young love is both pure and foolish, which may have been the reason why the young woman fell in love so easily and ignored that they both might be causing trouble by getting together. It was not that she was only 15 and he was almost a man at 17, but the fact that she was white and he was black. And it was not as if she came from a progressive family. Her father was an angry man, and when he found out they had been seeing each other, he threated to kill the young man.  After cooling down, he tried sending her away or disowning her from the family, but the girl’s mother couldn’t stand to not have her close and fought to keep her at home. The father gave in but silently fumed, still demanding they stop seeing each other. So, the couple became careful. […]

    […] The story just keep going deeper and deeper as character walk across the bridge and through the room of Lilian Place. Are the unexplained moments there the work of literary giant Stephen Crane or someone killed on the bridge.

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?
