Tripping on legends
Tripping on legends
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. Trip with us - Christopher Balzano, a veteran within the paranormal field, published author, and teacher, with Natalie Crist, a self proclaimed research guru.

Episode 90...The Ladies Are Still Walking in Daytona
She walks the bridge, although no one quite remembers why. She walks the halls, but everybody has a different reason why and calls her by a different name.

Join Christopher Balzano and Deanna Mulhern as Tripping on Legends travels back to the other coast to find out why the Veteran’s Bridge in Daytona is still the subject of haunted legends and what might be still lingering in the rooms of Lilian Place.

Episode 87...Tripping on Questions
The legend trip doesn’t always end when the legend trip ends. Through the last couple of years things have come up on the road and when the camera stops rolling people have wondered about. In a rambling but odd (and maybe cursed) dialogue, the Trippers take on some of those questions people have been e-mailing or posting about the show. Christopher and Ella Balzano look at everything from the place of kids as legend trippers, the curse of DeSoto, the anti-allure of St. Augustine, and recent attacks on the show about Pukwudgies. …and then there’s the odd things that happen when we again try to address the Blair Witch question.

Episode 86…They Only Say the Stewarts Aren’t Ghosts - Audio
You sometimes judge art by what you don’t see more than what is clear to the eye. The same can be said for haunted history. If there are too many haunted locations and no one is talking about them, you’re forced to ask yourself what is going on. Welcome to Sumter County, Florida, home of This Town is Myth and a place where ghostly legends go to die. They forget the train, they forget the vespers, but the Stewart Homestead is a step too far. The sight of a brutal murder and an almost unbelievable second act, no one speaks of spirits or tells tales of shadows in the swamp. Or do they. Join Christopher Balzano as he explores a dead zone where the dead are begging to be heard. 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.

Episode 85…Boogeyman: There Is No Fact or Fiction
It started with an old cold case. Now, as the question of who killed Little Miss Panasoffkee dances around in our brains, only one name seems to make complete sense. Trouble is, no one talks about it. If there has been one boogeyman who has followed Tripping on Legends around since the beginning, it has been serial killer Gerald John Schaefer. From the Devil’s Tree to Shiloh to Rolling Acres, he’s popped in to let us know to #followthesigns. Join Christopher Balzano as he brainstorms a new project with Paradise After Dark ( https://www.facebook.com/paradiseafterdarkpodcast/ ) looking at a man who’s myth has been plaguing the state for over 60 years, even after death.
