Tripping on Legends Episode 81…Are All the Theatres Haunted?

There’s something about a theatre that just pleads for a ghost story but are they all haunted?  Now imagine it’s in the weirdest town in Florida.

As Halloween approaches and Tripping on Legends plans to hook back up with an old friend for an investigation, Christopher Balzano looks at the Arcadia Opera House.  Sounds like a perfect time to look into stage superstitions and some of the haunted theatre legends we’ve explored over the years.

Listen to some of our other Arcadia shows and our show about Morris:

Episode 71…The Magician’s Ghost

Episode 64…Mr. Coker Isn’t Here

Tripping on Legends Episode 60…Curses and Kids in Arcadia

Episode 4…Oak Ridge’s Talking Mary and the RAF

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?
