Tripping on Legends Episode 80…The Storyteller Vs the Folklorist

Believe it or not, these two have been at it for years. They don’t always get along or see the story the same way. In the end, who should win?

As the event at Macbeth and Cheese approaches, Christopher and Ella Balzano debate which stories are primed for the event and which are more classroom than campfire.

Stay tuned after the debate to find out just how close are you to being possessed by the Devil with a ridiculous quiz recently posted online.

Some of the cases mentioned in the episode:

The Mini-Lights

The Ghost of Shiloh Cemetery

The Haunted Blood Bucket Bridge

The Tale of Tomokie

The Haunted Canopy of Sarasota

Shaman and Curse in Safety Harbor
