Tripping on legends: Recent Episodes

Crossroads Productions

Let's take a trip.

Small town, USA. This is where the pulse of the paranormal resides. There are thousands of stories and experiences out there. Some have been told, and retold hundreds of times, and some are kept hidden, known only by the people that live there; this is where we come in. We're exploring the untold, and breaking down the overly familiar. Journeying through the one stoplight towns and discovering local urban legends, myths, lore, and paranormal episodes. Researching the backgrounds and developing the voices unheard. Our goal is not to capture evidence, but rather to capture the moment and bring our listeners along for the ride.

What's in a name? When it comes to ghostly legends, it feel like people throw away the baby's name book and fall back on the classics. Mary...Elizabeth...and of course, Annie.

Go down the rabbit hole with the Trippers as the story starts in one place and another before finally landing in the state. Explore several of the infamous hauntings around the country where Annie pops her head in and makes an appearance. Then we make our way to Central Florida to explore a theater so haunted, it's part of the show.

Never turn your back on an old legend just because it's old. They have a tendency to come back around and peak their eyes through the trees at you.

The Baba Yaga has been creeping her way into media the last few years, but familiarity breeds mistakes when it comes to ghost stories. The more you peel away the nature of the witch, the clearer it becomes she may be walking in the Ocala and be behind some of the stories there.

Here's the link to the original video on liminal spaces and the witch:

Tripping on Legends gets out our chicken legs to examine the nature of the trickster and hold her up against the forest. You can make the decision from there.

Listen to the episode of the Stewarts...maybe the best spot to legend trip the Baba Yaga:

There's a new digital legend on the rise of a mysterious rider on a bike terrorizing a dark road. Only problem is, the story may disappear quicker than a ghostly hitchhiker.

But with a deep history of spooks and spokes, it's easy to see why the story is gaining traction. We'll look at stories of Ghost Riders across the country before turning our eyes to Venice, where a local hero may still be around looking for glory.

And be sure to tell us your local Ghost Rider story to add to our archive.

Here are some of the sources and old shows mentioned on the show, including our new ongoing library of books mentioned on the show:

Imagine you could design a perfect ghost story for Tripping on Legends to look into. What would it have? Witches. Serial killers. Bridges. A ritual best done under a moon and exactly at midnight.

The story of the Witch of Volco Road has it all.

Trippers Christopher Balzano and Morticia headed out on Thanksgiving to see if there is any truth to cult leader walking across a bridge in the shadow of the Ocala.

They also discuss their recent trip to Ormond Beach and offer some new perspectives on the Fairchild Suicide Oak and Tomoka State Park.

To everything there is a season...turn, turn, turn.

There's a new Tripper in town and some old legends to look at again.

Episode 137 introduces Morticia to the show. We'll look at where she's from and where she wants to go.

And we may start with one of the original legend trips. With the publication of Haunted Southwest Florida, Christopher Balzano hit the road for a little promo work and found the Singing Manatee has dramatically changed its geography and dad has come to rest in Oak Ridge.

The Trippers will explore how changing the details changes the haunt...and the haunted legend.

The Redheaded Hitchhiker of Route 44 has become one of the most well-known ghost stories in New England...or is he the Redheaded Phantom...or does it matter?

A strange thing happened on the way to Volco Road. The name of Big Red came up, as he always does when there's a lonesome road and a ghost walking. What began as a journey to find when his name changed became a whole new crossroads.

Join us as we look into the misnomer that created a phenom and how wandering ghosts started to look for rides and get in cars.

It started as a theme for Haunted Southwest Florida, but the more digging that happened, the more the rabbit hole became a labyrinth.

There’s something up with the name Hernando de Soto. It’s hidden just below the surface of so many of the haunted legends on the Gulf Coast of Florida, springing up like a weed hinting at something rotten below the surface.

…and then there’s the story of his daughter and how the sleepy city of Sarasota got its name.

Join Christopher Balzano as he traces the ghostly legends in the area linked to a curse placed on the infamous Conquistador Hernando de Soto. From the spooky in towns like Arcadia and Bradenton to haunted plagues in places like Fort DeSoto, he’ll retrace the rumors and tell the tales of a bleak side of history which may explain the creepy of today.

…and maybe find out how the Curse of de Soto extends to his imaginary daughter.

There were many episodes and ghostly legends mentioned in this episode, so I created an easy playlist for you faithful listeners with time on your hands. Seems like a good time to subscribe to the show if you haven't.

Ghosts have a way of working their way into the things we become obsessed with. Focus your energy someplace long enough, haunted tales of fascination will trail along. What are we more obsessed with than video games. From hours spent dropping coin after coin to days spent in front of the screen trying to complete the level, it is no wonder so many urban legends about curses and video games have made their way into our modern narrative. Join Christopher Balzano as he powers up the new year looking at infamous cases of people believing video games to be haunted. There's old school standards like Berserker and modern ones like Bad Satan, and of course, the mother of them all...Polybius. We may even spend a little time trying to summon the ghost people are warning us about using a middle school ritual.

There is a warning in this episode for reference to drug use and violence, but the last story involves harm to children and abuse.

Here’s the link to the Berserker article for a full recap of the story:

There’s that perfect shot which captures the emotion of a ghost story and freezes it in our mind forever. Sometimes it’s a picture snapped at the right time or a painting stealing a moment with a precise hand. We remember the famous Brown Lady of Raynham Hall and the Little Girl in the Burning Building. They are tangible proof of something our gut tells us is fact, but our mind argues is fiction.

What happens though when the image becomes the haunting? What if it perpetuates the haunted legend that has the whole town holding their breath when they pass by?

Join us live as we discuss two cases of the art becoming the story. The first is the infamous The Hands Resist Him painting, the first haunted object to truly break the internet. We then take it local to try and understand the stories and the snapshots that have made Kenilworth Lodge in Sebring a homegrown haunting the police need to keep their eyes on.

Be careful when you pick up the phone. Know who you're dialing, get the number right, and whatever you do...don't invite anything in.

The rumor is a ghost was contacted the first time Alexander Graham Bell used the phone, and it hasn't eased up since. The technology changes, but the creepy remains. From calls from the recently dead to urban legends about cursed numbers, the phone has always been a direct line to the spooky. Join Christopher Balzano as he tells some true stories of times when the line goes dead and explores the weirdest urban legends in the world of telecommunications...including calling some of these numbers live.

Visit The Ghosts in My Machine to hear some of the original audio from some of these calls as well as a more in-depth exploration of some of the backstories.

We’re going live with the launch of the new book and two interesting news stories that strike right at the heart of what we do.

The first is one making the rounds and gaining momentum. Glen Powell speaks on the ills of dating and the rise of cannibals on Bumble.

A buried and resurrected episode with all of its warts and lofty ideas.

Religions are based on belief, but also ritual and faith. Sounds like a perfect palate for urban legends and ghost stories. Now add an abandon church and a college campus. It’s one of the supposa be haunted kind of ideas. But what happens when no one wants to admit there is actually a haunting…or a haunted legends.

Join Tripping on Legends as we look at two Florida ghost stories people say don’t exist. First, we’ll travel to the Panhandle to look at a cursed church that has become flypaper for all kinds of classic folklore and meet the people who have worked to make sure no one remembers the stories.

Then we’ll drive out to St. Leo University where the ghost stories are so infamous they are written into the student handbook, but don’t expect anyone to actually believe them. We’ll also get into our quick tour of the campus post-Thanksgiving to explore why the campus might be the perfect canvas.

Sometimes you just need to be there to get why a haunted legend comes alive.

There’s a story of a witch, a woods, and people who visit her ghost in the hopes of touching her wall and earning a little of her power. Sound familiar? What happens though when the wall is more story than a structure and the witch is more myth than mystic?

Join the Trippers in the shadow of the Turtle as they head back to Ormond Beach to search for the often whispered about Ormond Witch of Witch Road. They also retell what happened when they legend tripped Merritt Island to see if they could get invited to the ghost party at Mather Bridge.

There are a few reasons people make up folklore. They are trying to learn a lesson or remember something important to pass down. They are wanting to cherish a historical moment.

Then some folklore is meant to explain something in nature that science has not yet tackled. Why are their lights in the sky? Where does thunder come from? Why does the snake slitter?

Why are our kids dying?

Walking Sam has been taking the blame for the teen suicide rate on the Pine Ridge Reservation for years. Problem is, he may be more monster than myth and more ghost than cautionary tale.

Join Tripping on Legends as we look into the history of the Walking Sam and the figures like him across the different tribes in America. We'll preview a new movie about the Backrooms and whether changing mediums can kill a legend.

Urkhammer or Ashely were just the beginning. Sure, we can agree they probably never existed, but did they have their own merch? In walks Doveland, Wisconsin and says, “Hold my urban legend.”

In the second part of their Lost Cities, Lost Bones show, Trippers Christopher Balzano and Deanna Mulhern continue their trek across towns that never existed looking trying to make sense of all of these Mandela Towns before shooting over to Lake Okeechobee to debate whether their infamous bones are sketchy or point at a darker history of the “hole in the state.”

We apologize ahead of time for the audio quality and Balzano’s comments about Wisconsin.

Ever been to Urkhammer or Ashely? Have you picked up your hat and cup and keychain from Doveland?

Travel across the country and you'll find rumors of towns that don't exist and places people remember but can't quite communicate about. It could be collective amnesia, the Mandela Effect, or maybe just a case of the Internet having a little fun at our expense. We continue to scratch our heads at Roanoke, but what about Tinsdale.

Join Trippers Christopher Balzano and Deanna Mulhern as they skip from town to town looking for the answers before landing smack dab in the middle of the state to set up a legend trip on Lake O.

This is part one of two, so be prepared to not quite make it to Lake Okeechobee yet...

With Ella begging me to allow her to do the Backrooms episode, we had to switch gears a little bit.

It's okay to follow Robert's Rules and believe in the curse. It's okay to fall back on Voodoo curses and wild affairs and attempted murder. It's okay to swoon when the tales get taller and the stories get darker and the monster comes out of the attic.

All Roberts are a representation of the life and times during which They Did It.

Just understand the doll you know and love is not the one you think he is, and the truth might be is as faded as the face on that little toy in Key West.

And you should be happy about that.

Join Tripping on Legends as they take a frank look at Key West's most famous resident and question the little doll that started it all. We even get a call from our leading expert on Pemberton Ferry and artist Della Daughtery with a personal account of Robert.

There are a few rules that you should never break when thinking about tripping after a ghostly legend. Don’t forget a flashlight if you’re going into the woods. Never cross a bridge unless you’ve seen someone heavier cross it first. Remember to leave a few coins whenever you pass by some graves.

And of course, if you hear music in the woods, never follow it.

Or maybe always follow it, just never try to join in on the beat.

There is a deep history of music from the woods, but in the last two decades, people around the world have reported abandoned pianos in forest. Like the stairways among the trees, they appear without warning, often looking like part of the natural landscape.

Tripping on Legends goes deep into the stories that have been reported across the globe from Massachusetts to Utah to Sweden and the music’s place in urban legends and folklore. We’ll then turn our attention more local and look at a haunted bridge on Merritt Island said to still ring with the songs of parties past.

A clock tower, and mausoleum made to order, and an old man with no head waiting to chit chat for a while. Tallahassee does its ghost stories a little differently.

Tripping on Legends travels up to the state capital to examine the case of Calvin C. Phillips, the Northern designer and loner who decided to come to Florida to die. Most people find some kind of peace after death, but Phillips and his story have changed as his body changes over the years, and the man who had been a mystery while he was alive, continues to be one in the afterlife.

If only the poor man could find his head.

The story of the Dead Man's Oak is one of those Tripping on Legends covered early, and one that continues to confuse folklorist, legend trippers, and investigators in Florida, but the Dead Man is not the only headless ghost in the state.

Join Christopher Balzano and Deanna Mulhern as they travel to three corners of the state tracking four ghostly legends where the walking dead end just above the shoulders.

And there may be a few haunted dog, pirates, and politician along the way.

Tripping on Legends continues its Halloween haunted Trek into the Ocala to a place where what's on the shelf has a mind of its own. We put the tarot decks down and get more into the little shop where dolls move, keys unlock the unknown, and even simple cutlery can get spooky.

Corrine Kenner, curator of Deland’s Haunted Antique Shop and Paranormal Museum and author of Gently Haunted joins Dan Horon as Christopher Balzano and Nikki Mu spend the night before the big day touring the idea of haunted objects and getting a little more into the story of what's for sale at the store.

True crime and ghostly folklore go together like Chicago and bootlegging or guns and bullets…

…and when you’re in the shadow of Ocala, no gangster can rest in peace without a ghost story.

Florida’s haunted locations act as a map of unusual crime and famous villains, but there is one name that keeps coming up when you talk old time criminals and Florida phantoms. Ma Barker might be one of the lesser known names to some outsiders, but her family’s story is intermixed with that of the state. Her house, or the reflection of it, forces us to keep asking about both sides of the mirror.

Join Trippers Christopher Balzano and Nicole MU as they look into the true story of this infamous woman and the ghosts who continue to rat tat tat at the scene of her death.

And we would love to hear your local urban legends about haunted crime scenes.

It's simple...just use take the dirt home and heal...

...but nothing is that simple in the Boho Highlands.

This week, the Trippers take a winding path across the pond to a small church in Ireland squarely placed land either cursed or blessed...depending on how you step.

Christopher Balzano and Deanna Mulhern strip down the fauna and flora and all the things that make this land notorious...you know, like fairies, changelings, and banshees.
And did we mention science has proven some of it true.

Once upon a time, two trippers got into a car to look into the ghostly legend of a man who screams at night, a little girl who comforts the living visiting the dead, and a wall where a witch traps children before stealing their souls. They ended up searching for the grave of a teen and rescuing a soul from a wall of coral…at least if you believe the stories.

Join Christopher Balzano and Deanna Mulhearn as they hit the road on a somewhat spontaneous journey to the Boca Raton cemetery. It’s an “on the road” episode filled with background noise, arguments on how the dead can come back and how far they can travel, and the perfect side quest which leads to one of those profound Tripping on Legends moments.

Listen to a little of the background into the stories from Episode 109, Weepers and Witch’s Walls.

On her last night as a tween, Ella takes the mic and honors the story...

If you tuned in to the show Tuesday, you saw dad commenting and intellectualizing modern myths and analog horror...and Ella getting pissed because she wanted to get more into the stories.

Well, on her birthday she gets what she wants, as Christopher Balzano will try his best to sit quietly while Ella explores the spooky details of Five Nights at Freddy's, the Backrooms, the Mandela Catalogue, and the Walton Files.

Who will win out; Ella's Taurus nature or dad's need to put it all in prospective?

Listen to the audio from episode 110 where Christopher Balzano makes everything deep and Ella waits her turn patiently:

I was not always a monster, once I was somebody's muse. The world may be your canvas, what you paint on it, beware. The pen is mightier than the sword, it has no limitation. Don't refrain, this ink will stain and nothing can erase us now.

In the world of haunted storytelling and urban legends, we who set the story can’t always control it. Often times the nature of a ghost is determined by the tales we tell about it. Once it’s out there, the haunting takes a life of its own and can’t be erased.

Join Christopher Balzano and the Trippers as they look at some famous ghost stories that have gotten out of control. They’ll also look at home modern mythology has taken control of the narrative. Media like Five Night at Freddy’s, Walton Files, Mandela Catalogue, and the Backrooms are following in the footsteps of Slender Man to shift who can tell the story and how it gets told.

Cemeteries are supposed to be places of sorrow. They’re where we remember those who lives have been taken from us, moments mixed with memories of their lives and the sadness of their passing. In Boca Raton, there’s a mourner who goes too far, screaming his grief for the whole neighborhood to hear, even though as far as anyone can tell, he’s not actually alive.

Join the Trippers as they look at two very different hauntings at a mausoleum on Florida’s West Coast. Is there a connection between the screaming man and the young girl searching the labyrinth looking for someone to talk to? They’ll then travel a bit down the road to look at a witch whose prison for small children still bring chills to the locals.

You're walking through the woods, maybe just slightly off the path. There's a odd quiet in the trees and your gut tells you something isn't right. You squint into the distance, trying to make out that odd shadow being formed by the disappearing sun when your eyes adjust and you see it; a staircase in the middle of the forest.

Would you climb them?

There has been chatter recently all over the Internet about mysterious stairs found in the woods. People are scrambling to get the stories out, but also to explain them. Tripping on Legends has been to one, but there might be an even more mysterious set waiting for us as we plan our summer trip.

Join Christopher Balzano and Deanna Mulhern as we wander back into some dark woods to explore the urban legend of the forest stairs and some urban legends that have developed around some that we know exist.

Need a little homework?
Look into some of our weirder stories involving stairs, including some of our work into the Devil's Tree:

Fort Ontario may be the perfect spot for this years Haunted Break or Summer Legend Trip. From the mysterious man walking along the train tracks with his lantern to the little boy who loves to get his photo taken, there is a long history behind the spooky things up there on the border. And we haven even gotten to Post Ghost and his connection to Whistling Past the Cemetery.

Humpty Dumpty never had to deal with the ghosts of Coon Hill Cemetery. Would you?

In a reboot of Episode 69, Christopher Balzano travels to the Panhandle to look at an abandoned cemetery in a lost town that continues to be a focus in the area. Coon Hill is long gone, but the cemetery remains, and the ghosts left behind are determined to make sure nothing bad happens to those left behind…and they do a horrible job of it.

Not to mention the sacred grounds is known as a prime spot to travel to if you’re looking to have a child.

We’re still knee deep in the #hauntedlove project, so we’re especially looking for ghost stories with a love twist.
