The Skunk Ape. Probably the most legendary legend of Florida. This legendary creature, also known as the Florida Bigfoot, is described as a large, hairy, ape-like creature that roams the swamps and forests of Florida. Witnesses often report a foul odor associated with the creature, hence the name "Skunk Ape". The Everglades and other remote areas are frequently cited as locations where the Skunk Ape has been spotted. In Ochopee, an official Skunk Ape Research Headquarters is where workers collect and investigate reports of swamp ape sightings. While its just a southern version of Bigfoot or his southern cousin. Have you heard of this creature?

The Devil's Chair of Cassadaga. Also known as the "haunted chair," the "devil's chair" is a part of folklore found in numerous places, usually attached to a memorial or funerary sculpture. Back in the Victorian era, cemeteries would provide benches for mourning visitors. Just 35 miles north of Orlando resides the small town of Cassadaga. For the most part, the architecture of the area has remained largely unchanged since it was first settled in the 1800s. The town was also renowned as the "Psychic Center of the World," when Cassadaga was a Mecca of Spiritualism and psychic mediumship. It's also home to the menacing red brick bench known as the Devil's Chair. Back in the day, a young man dared sit in the chair at midnight on Halloween. It was the last time he was ever seen. Many say the Devil himself will speak to you when you sit in the chair; numerous visitors claim they constantly hear voices in their heads when seated. Another known legend of the Devil's Chair involves leaving a can of unopened beer, not he bench. The story claims it will be empty the next morning, but still unopened. Have you heard or maybe seen this chair?

Pensacola Lighthouse. Across our state's 1,350 miles of coastline are over 30 lighthouses. Most have been lovingly preserved; several have gone through complete restorations. There's only one that is severely haunted. For 160 years, the Pensacola Lighthouse sat at the entrance to Pensacola Bay. Paranormal investigators claim the property has six ghostly residents. The origins of the spirits are wide ranging: two children were rumored to pass away near the lighthouse from yellow fever. A woman endured a death by child berth inside the lighthouse. Supposedly, a couple who were always fighting owned the property next to the lighthouse. After a decade or so, the woman lost her cool and chopped up her husband. Nowadays, visitors claim they hear screaming in the tower. There is even one specific spot where blood appears out of nowhere and disappears. Have you ever visited this landmark?

Bloody Bucket Bridge. Wauchula is just southeast of our city, aka the "Cucumber Capital of the World." It's also the home to the Bloody Bucket Bridge. Around the time of the Civil War, the town's midwife delivered several hundred babies. Concerned that the families already had too many kids to feed, the woman started smothering them, lying to the parents that they were stillborn. Naturally, residents started getting suspicious. Some murmured that she was deranged because she had children taken from her while she was a slave. Eventually, people refused to allow her to deliver any longer, and she slipped into madness. It is rumored that she would sit beside the bucket, and fill with the blood of all the infants she had killed. Then, she would carry the blood-filled buckets to the bridge, and upturn it in the river, before the bucket would gradually fill again. Once, when emptying the bloody bucket, the midwife fell in and drowned. Rumor has it, if you visit the bridge on a full moon, the river water looks like it is running red with blood. Have you've heard of this tale?

The cryogenically frozen Walt Disney. I know this seems very silly, but this was a very strong urban legend for decades that Walt Disney's was frozen. The story of Disney's frozen body has become a popular urban legend, with some even claiming his body is secretly stored under the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. The who idea was that he wanted to be frozen when he was diagnosed with lung cancer, so that in the future if there was a cure, he could be unfrozen and cured. But most of these are debunked as he was cremated. Though the story was always entertaining. Have you ever heard of this tale?

The Orange Blob. Probably the most scariest cryptid of all time in Florida. Allegedly but unsubstantiated reports that it stands at 6'3 and weighs 224 pounds. Its hair resembles that of a caterpillar and sometimes reported it can freely move on its own accord like a secondary brain. It moves freely between local golf courses in Palm Beach in the guise of a "golfer" 75% of the time of its life and sometimes moves freely to 1600 Ave to cause great mischief and discourse in the world like a true gremlin. Do you agree that this is quite a terrifying creature?
