Begin in St. Augustine at the venerable&nb sp\;Castillo de San Marcos\, where the tragic tale of Dolores and Manuel s till whispers through the ancient coquina corridors. Travel southwest to t he solemn pine flats of Bushnell\, where the spirits of the fallen are sai d to roam the \;Dade Battlefield\, the opening strike of the Second Se minole War. The lecture then ventures into the heart of Marion County to t he \;Ma Barker House \;in Ocklawaha\, frozen in time since the inf amous 1935 FBI shootout\, and long rumored to host lingering shadows from its violent past.

\n

Next\, descend into the glamorous yet ghost-lade n halls of the \;Biltmore Hotel \;in Coral Gables\, where 1920s op ulence meets decades of chilling stories\, from phantom soldiers to the re stless spirit of Fatty Walsh. Finally\, visit the \;Cuban Club \;i n Ybor City\, a 1917 mutual aid society where the echoes of a fatal 1934 b oardroom shooting still linger\, alongside reports of a tragic actor in th e theater and the spirit of a young boy who drowned in the basement pool.< /p>\n

"Haunted History of Florida" uncovers the eerie echoes of the stat e&rsquo\;s past\, offering audiences a compelling blend of true history an d supernatural lore.
