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

Explore the darker side of Fort Myers with Christopher Balzano during the dark on a hauntingly unforgettable walking tour with True Tours.

Check out Christopher Balzano’s books, including the newly released Haunted Southwest Florida.

Feel free to call our new phone number during our live shows to get involved, share a legend you’ve heard, or to just ask a question at (813) 418-6822.
