Who knew there were so many ghosts inside your house?

Episode 67 of Tripping on Legends, The Home Haunted, is now up:
https://triplegend.hipcast.com/deluge/triplegend-20200503143315-6159.mp4

With travel plans and moving about cancelled, Tripping on Legends would be stuck in neutral if it weren’t for the modern age and the children of the world and their wacky ways. Legend tripping and urban legends have gone digital and plays themselves out over our kids’ computers and imaginations.

Join Christopher and Ella Balzano as they explore several of the creepiest home hauntings that are all the rage with kids these days. Drawn from the Web and books like Dangerous Games to Play in the Dark by Lucia Peters (www.theghostinmymachine.com) and see how many you would actually attempt. From Charlie Charlie and Three Kings to One Man Hide and Seek and Momo, what are these kids playing…

…and would you dare to do them yourself?

EPISODE 74: THE WILD HUNT & THE WITCHES
A lecture by Prof. Ronald Hutton

Listen FREE at https://thefolklorepodcast.weebly.com/season-5/episode-74-the-wild-hunt-the-witches-a-lecture-by-prof-ronald-hutton

As we pass Walpurgis Night, the Folklore Podcast releases from its archives a public lecture given in 2017 by the eminent and popular historian Ronald Hutton. Written just before the publication of his book, 'The Witch', in this talk Ronald picks apart the mythology of the Wild Hunt and argues that its origins come from a melding of various folk tales, rather than the traditional shamanistic pagan roots often attributed.

The question and answer session from this talk is available on our Patreon page at www.patreon.com/thefolklorepodcast

One episode was not enough to contain all the stories. Tripping on Legends had to go back into the bathroom to revisit some of the classic bathroom stories from across Florida and New England.

Episode 66B…Reflushing the Ghost is up...

https://triplegend.hipcast.com/deluge/triplegend-20200426122920-9343.mp4

Before finishing up, we tackle stories such as The Devil’s Tree, Lizzie Borden, Silver Springs, and the infamous story of Elizabeth and the Country Tavern. We also look at classic bathroom legends such as Hanako, the story of Elisa Lam, and the Filth Licker.

Episode 66 of Tripping on Legends is up...
Flushing the Ghost
https://triplegend.hipcast.com/deluge/triplegend-20200419130636-7324.mp3

It’s not always the haunted houses and creepy woods of the world that bring those scary moments. Sometimes the moments of fear come from the inside out.

Join Tripping on Legends as we explore some of the most common ghosts associated with the place where we all feel the most venerable. We’ll explore famous legends and cases and some of the bathrooms we’ve tripped over the years in preparation for a trip to the most haunted bathroom in Florida.

Stopping by to talk about Comfort Station and all things bathroom folklore is Dr. Brandy Stark from Urban Legends of Pinellas County (https://urbanlegendsofflorida.homestead.com/downtownstpetesburgbathrroom.html).

Tripping on Legends Live: Ghost Lights, Ghost Lights, Come Out Tonight is now up…
https://triplegend.hipcast.com/deluge/triplegend-20200412122100-1604.mp4

Science has it all explained, right? These ghost lights are just something natural, something we can chalk up to ordinary and pass off as something that just happens. No need to look any further, right?

Yet even as the logical part of our brain explains it all, the side of us that fears knows there is something else out there can’t help but ask different questions. It’s not just the fact that we see them and create backstories to help justify why we are seeing them, of all legend trips, ghost lights are the ones that we group together around and make an event out of trying to experience.

Join Christopher Balzano as he explores the folklore behind the sightings and gets into a few of the more famous cases around Florida and the rest of the country.

This was shared with me, just today. I felt it in my soul that I needed to share it with my people. I asked permission to share it. So I am. What I would like is for everyone to forward this, pass it along and share what this is to all. We have taken this opportunity and have once again turned it into finger pointing, blaming, fighting, wrong vs right, me vs you! Instead of opening up and seeing the possibilities that we now have to come together and become one, some are still looking to be divided. With much love 💕 for all!

Vampire witches who take the form of owls to hunt their prey. An illiterate career soldier who crawled from the dead only to never tell his tale. An ancient curse still making itself known in the quiet roads and swamps of Florida.

Episode 65 of Tripping on Legends, The Stikini and the Dade Massacre, is now up...

https://triplegend.hipcast.com/deluge/triplegend-20200322191553-5703.mp3

What are the Stikini and did they spark what is known as the Dade Massacre?

What began as a simple blog post on an obscure Web site sparked a question which may never be answered. Join the Trippers as they look into the old Seminole witch legend used to explain one of the most important moments in Florida history. Christopher Balzano and Deanna Mulhern debate the best way to attract one during a legend trip and plan their trip to Central Florida to track one down.

These are some really good bits of advice if the spirits are all up on you or you want to protect yourself...I'm just not sure if you need to be Jamaican for them to work...

A duppy – in Jamaican culture – is a restless good and bad ghost or spirit. The bad duppies are said to be set onto persons through obeah practices while the good duppies are those of friends and family who “dream” you to give advice. They are said to take many forms such as animals, …

Episode 64...Mr. Coker Isn't Here is now up…
https://triplegend.hipcast.com/deluge/triplegend-20200301165659-3102.mp3

Beside an orange grove in the middle of nowhere lies a once forgotten cemetery. Inside are buried three children with no official records, no past, but a story that has been told the last fifty years in a town steeped in oddness and rich in haunted history…and sometimes the children can’t help but speak up.

Christopher Balzano and Deanna Mulhern travel to Arcadia, Florida, in search of a ghostly legend centered around the spirits of children said to be the victims of a curse almost a hundred years old. After discussing some of the details of the case, the Trippers hit the round and then talk about what they found as the sun set on Coker Cemetery and why these kids might never find peace.

Listen to Balzano discuss the details of the case here: https://triplegend.hipcast.com/deluge/triplegend-20190919230121-4363.mp3

Help TOL with kids decided where to legend trip on Spring Break...

The Trippers look at several possible haunted road trips to occupy their upcoming Spring Break. After looking into the legend of Mothman and Goatman, they turn their attention to the many legends of Missouri and tracking the rock and roll legends of the Allman Brothers and Robert Johnson. The extended family in the chatroom ask for a trip up to New England to visit the Bridgewater Triangle and Salem, but the kids seem to be intent on tracking the legend of Roanoke Colony.

https://triplegend.hipcast.com/deluge/triplegend-20200209193050-3853.mp3

Tripping on Legends welcomes in new co-host Deanna Mulhern who gets a trial by fire with a legend told throughout the Sarasota community although no one can quite remember where it started or if there is any truth to the tale.

After getting some background and insight into Mulhern, the Trippers discuss the infamous Amish Ghost Bridge at Pinecraft in Sarasota, Florida. Too late to make it into Florida’s Haunted Love Stories and too early for Valentine’s Day, her and Christopher Balzano explore the details and reasons behind a typical Lover’s Leap, Romeo and Juliet type su***de and haunting that has one foot in the history of Sarasota and one in the Amish community that calls that town home.
