About this listen

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.

  • Episode 138...Volco and Revists
    Jan 17 2026

    Imagine you could design a perfect ghost story for Tripping on Legends to look into. What would it have? Witches. Serial killers. Bridges. A ritual best done under a moon and exactly at midnight.

    The story of the Witch of Volco Road has it all.

    Trippers Christopher Balzano and Morticia headed out on Thanksgiving to see if there is any truth to cult leader walking across a bridge in the shadow of the Ocala.

    They also discuss their recent trip to Ormond Beach and offer some new perspectives on the Fairchild Suicide Oak and Tomoka State Park.

    Listen to the original old school episode on the Ormond Beach trips.

  • Episode 137...Is the Ghost in the Details?
    Aug 24 2025

    To everything there is a season...turn, turn, turn.

    There's a new Tripper in town and some old legends to look at again.

    Episode 137 introduces Morticia to the show. We'll look at where she's from and where she wants to go.

    And we may start with one of the original legend trips. With the publication of Haunted Southwest Florida, Christopher Balzano hit the road for a little promo work and found the Singing Manatee has dramatically changed its geography and dad has come to rest in Oak Ridge.

    The Trippers will explore how changing the details changes the haunt...and the haunted legend.

  • Episode 136...This Redhead Ain't Hitchin
    Jun 24 2025

    The Redheaded Hitchhiker of Route 44 has become one of the most well-known ghost stories in New England...or is he the Redheaded Phantom...or does it matter?

    A strange thing happened on the way to Volco Road. The name of Big Red came up, as he always does when there's a lonesome road and a ghost walking. What began as a journey to find when his name changed became a whole new crossroads.

    Join us as we look into the misnomer that created a phenom and how wandering ghosts started to look for rides and get in cars.

    Look into the details of the stories we discussed in the books we got them from:
