Haunted Ocala National Forest
My special guest tonight is author and folklorist Christopher Balzano, here to discuss one of the strangest and most haunted places in Florida—the Ocala National Forest. Just an hour outside of Orlando’s theme parks lies a region steeped in paranormal activity, supernatural sightings, and terrifying urban legends. In his book Haunted Ocala National Forest, Balzano uncovers chilling reports of disappearing cemeteries, mysterious creatures, ghost lights, and bodies found under unexplained circumstances.
Locals speak of the vengeful Coyote Woman, a shapeshifting spirit who punishes the wicked... a spectral soldier from Fort King who vanishes mid-conversation... and the monk of Astor, still searching for his killer. From cults and cryptids to ghosts and cursed land, the Ocala National Forest remains a hotspot of strange phenomena, where those who enter sometimes never return.
