Tripping on Legends Episode 60…Curses and Kids in Arcadia

What do pennies, a gypsy curse, and an innocent man serving life in prison have to do with one of the most haunted towns in Florida?

It's a tale of two families, two cemeteries, and two legends in Arcadia, Florida. Christopher Balzano revisits one of the original legend trips to Oak Ridge Cemetery to explore the folklore of the Richardson children said to play among the headstones and run back and forth to nearby Goat Hill. He then connects them to another bit of haunted history across town where the babies of Coker Cemetery are said to turn the luck of those who visit their abandoned and neglected places of rest.

Listen to our episode on Oak Ridge Cemetery to get warmed up and up to date on some of the oddness in the area:
