EPISODE 23: Ghosts, Graveyards, Cryptids & Bigfoot Conspiracies with Jason Tapp of Spooky Charlotte 👻

In this episode of Dark Florida, I sit down with Jason Tapp, the man behind Spooky Charlotte. To explore the eerie intersections of haunted history, conservation, and cryptid folklore.

Jason shares his work restoring old cemeteries and preserving forgotten pieces of Charlotte’s past, but the conversation quickly takes a turn into the paranormal. He makes some bold claims about the infamous Patterson-Gimlin footage. The legendary Bigfoot video filmed at Bluff Creek. According to Jason, the whole event may have been staged… and he believes the Bigfoot costume was created by none other than Charlotte’s own showman, Phillip Morris. Even more chilling? He says he got that information directly from Phillip Morris’s ghost. 👀

We also dive into the legend of Normie, the creature said to haunt the waters of Lake Norman. With a serpent-like body and the head of a horse, this cryptid may have ties to the Catawba tribe and the region’s deeper spiritual history. 🐉

And if that wasn’t enough, we also talk about a terrifying shapeshifter lurking in the shadows of Charlotte—a hybrid creature with the body of a panther and the wings and head of an owl. 🦉

Ghosts, conspiracies, cryptids, and forgotten graves—we cover it all in this one.

Episode 22: The Mysterious White Mountains Watcher with Jeb Scruggs of Squatch Hunters International

In this episode, we take a journey far beyond the swamps and Spanish moss of Florida and head deep into the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where something wild and possibly not human, is still being seen. I’m joined by Jeb Scruggs, founder of Squatch Hunters International, an avid outdoorsman and researcher who went from skeptic to believer after a personal and unforgettable encounter in the mountains.

We dive into Jeb’s boots-on-the-ground experiences, what he believes Bigfoot is and what the terrain and energy of the White Mountains reveal about this elusive creature. Plus, we even dip into another cryptid mystery: Champ, the legendary lake monster of Lake Champlain 🐉🌊

Whether you're a seasoned squatcher or just getting into the weird and wild, this episode is full of personal stories, intriguing theories, and that signature spooky Dark Florida vibe.

21: Strange News Roundup - Bigfoot, UFO's, Deception, and Antarctica

Welcome back to another episode of Dark Florida but today, we’re taking things beyond the borders of the Sunshine State and diving into some truly bizarre and fascinating strange news from across the globe 🌍✨ This episode is absolutely packed, so get cozy, grab your favorite spooky beverage, and settle in.

First up, we’re heading north to Michigan, where a brand-new Bigfoot sighting has made waves in the cryptid community 👣🌲 This isn’t your typical blurry photo or vague rumor, this one comes from a credible witness with details that are hard to ignore. Could this be the real deal? Is Bigfoot on the move? You know I couldn’t resist breaking it down and digging into the facts.

Then we’re shifting gears into full-on conspiracy mode, because some serious accusations are swirling around the Pentagon and their use of UFOs as a decades-long distraction tactic 🛸🕵️‍♀️ What have they been hiding? And why now are we seeing more leaks, more whistleblowers, and more attention on what’s flying in our skies?

Speaking of strange things in the sky, I’ll also be talking about a newly leaked video of a disc-shaped UFO that’s unlike anything we've seen before. This thing is sleek, eerie, and surrounded by a swirl of questions. Is it alien? Is it tech we’re not supposed to know about? Or something even stranger?

And just when you think we’ve reached peak weirdness, we head south, way south, to Antarctica, where scientists are picking up mysterious electromagnetic pulses deep beneath the ice 🧊📡 Some are calling it natural. Others? Not so much. With ancient secrets buried under miles of frozen earth, it begs the question... what’s really going on down there?

I had so much fun covering these stories, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and theories! Shoot me an email at darkfloridapodcast@gmail.com or leave a comment under the episode post on Instagram to join the discussion. Let’s get weird together 🖤✨
