Tripping on Legends Episode 82…The Crisscross Haunted in Osteen

The school makes the cemetery haunted, but the cemetery makes the school haunted which makes the cemetery haunted.  And all of it might be due to something else entirely different.  Confused yet?

Join Christopher Balzano has he explores a haunted school and cemetery in Deltona, Florida, that are part urban legend, part town history, and part town coverup.  Then, of course, there is one of the weirdest murder cases in state history attached to the location, and that’s saying something coming from Florida.

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.
