Tripping On Legends

Tripping On Legends LIVE – Tuesday, July 27th – The Crisscross Haunted in Osteen

TUESDAY – TRIPPING ON LEGENDS LIVE WITH CHRISTOPHER BALZANO

“Episode 93 – Whistling By The Cemetery”

Step inside the elevator, push the buttons, and when the doors open up you’re in a different world. Would you play?
There’s a reason so many horror movies and ghostly legends lean heavily on them to deliver scares. From a recent episode of Evil to Elisa Lam to the little girl who never got out, elevators are part of our haunted imagination. We get in and assume they will just take us where we need to go, but sometimes they don’t. Where does our fear come from?
Join Tripping on Legends as we explore the new popularity of the Elevator Game and other modern spooky legends that look to tap into our fear of the lift.

About Tripping on Legends

What is the scariest and least defined character in the paranormal? Shadow Men, Dark Men, Hat Men…they all seem to be creeping into the paranormal narrative, although some would argue that they have always been there. Join Christopher Balzano as he explores some of the lore behind the man, run-ins Tripping on Legends has had with them over the year, and a dark bunker deep within the Ocala Nation Forest where at least one has been known to play.
Join us LIVE every Tuesday at 8:30 PM Eastern (7:30 PM Central/5:30 PM Pacific) just before Midnight Society with Tim Weisberg for Tripping on Legends with Christopher Balzano.

Tripping On Legends LIVE – Tuesday, June 29th – “Episode 93 – Whistling By The Cemetery”

TUESDAY – TRIPPING ON LEGENDS LIVE WITH CHRISTOPHER BALZANO

“Episode 93 – Whistling By The Cemetery”

Remember when your mother told you to never whistle past the cemetery or hold your breath until the headstones had passed? The word legend tripping comes from a long history of sneaking out past dark to perform some ritual at the local cemetery. These journeys were based on the idea that an urban legend lived nearby and the only way to prove yourself was to go through the motions and become part of the story. Little did you know the town next to you had its own. Join Tripping on Legends as we look at some of the most famous stories involving your local cemetery lore and the most famous urban legends told about the trips we are challenged to make… …and make sure to join in with your favorite or local legend. 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.
