Tripping on legends
Summary: 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. The paranormal lives within all the moments that make it up, not just those that can be captured by technology and measured. This is our flag in the ground. Trip with us - Christopher Balzano, a veteran within the paranormal field, published author, and teacher, with Natalie Crist, a self proclaimed research guru.

It's a long show this week, but worth the time... Natalie Crist and Christopher Balzano hit the field and legend trip Arcadia, Florida's, Oak Ridge Cemetery. The first is the tale of 23 British airmen and their teacher who died in Florida while training to fight the Germans during WW2. There have reports of disappearing flags, music, and phantom airships in the area. About two thousand feet away stands the urban legend of a Talking Mary Statue known to hold whole conversations with people. The Trippers captured audio evidence of her chatter and include it as part of the episode.
In addition to Episode 4, coming soon, we're releasing the recording we got from the Oak Ridge Cemetery from Arcadia, Florida. This recording was our attempt to have a conversation with the figure of folklore we've now come to call the Hollingsworth Mary. Feel free to download, cut up, evaluate, manipulate, and let us know what you find. You can contact us on twitter at @spookybalzano or via e-mail at spookytripping@gmail.com.
In the shadow of the Christmas tree, Natalie Crist and Christopher Balzano reopen the files after a few weeks off. Trying to set the schedule for the next legend trip, Chris introduces three potential sites; the haunted Oak Ridge Cemetery in Arcadia, the legend of the Singing River, and the urban legend of the Minlights in St. Pete.

This week Chris and Natalie lay down the ABCs of the Legends Project. After discussing some of the exciting events of the last week, the Trippers discuss the methodology of the Legends Project and explore some of the reasoning surrounding their approach. They then move on to talk about three potential Trips in Florida; Lake George (the name is Pinky not George), the Legend of the Haunted Pants (https://trippingonlegends.wordpress.com/2016/11/27/holidays-ghostly-pants/) , and a small shop in Tarpon Springs.
In the premiere episode of Tripping on Legends, our hosts Natalie Crist and Christopher Balzano talk about how the idea of the show came about and how the theme song was chosen. They even get into a litte EVP discussion as they explore some of the sounds of the Samuel West House. After getting that straight, they tell a few details of their legend trip at the Venice Train Depot (read the full report at www.trippingonlegends.wordpress.com/2016/11/20/venices-phantom-train).
