Weird and Strange Florida

"The Master of the Weird", Charlie Carlson shared stories of the weird and strange that surround the state of Florida. Charlie has authored many books covering the subject of weird Florida.

Charlie told how his love for history lead him into researching the strange side of Florida. He has written many history books but says his books on the unexplained have out sold his history books combined.

Charlie recalled a few of his ghost hunting trips. He also discussed some about Florida's Skunk Ape. Near the end of the show he told us about the "Dead Zone on I-4 that was built over a small family cemetery. The graves were not moved but rather covered with a mound of dirt and built right on top of.

One call joined us to tell of his account of hearing children skipping down the hall at the Historic Ritz Hotel.
