There is a tale, told by old timers, of a twenty foot diameter circle called "the Devil's Circle" deep in the Black Water Swamp, in Lake County, near where the Wekiva River meets the St. John's river. Reportedly nothing grows inside this circle, it has always been totally barren of plant life and is extremely dry of moisture, even after heavy rains. Folklore has it, that objects placed inside the circle overnight will vanish.

Just make sure you behave, so you can come back and tell the tale. (Please note: To bring a case of beer with you, is not very convincing, in telling about a sighting....LOL!!!!)

Cassadaga
Cassadaga was touched on earlier on the "Maggie Bell" post on the first page of this thread.
Long-time Floridians are probably well aware of Cassadaga, but to anyone new to Florida, this is a real place that you can visit.
It is a Spiritualist camp dating back to the 19th century. Today, you can have a psychic reading from one of the many spiritualists that live in the camp. There is also a nice bookstore.
It's a very pretty place and NYers might be interested in the founder, who was originally from NY.
The Cassadaga people are very nice.

Attention Florida Drivers!
YOU MAY BE DRIVING OVER GRAVES OF THE DEAD!
Beneath the asphalt of Interstate-Four, in Seminole County at the south end of the St. John's River bridge, is a small family cemetery. This cemetery, under the eastbound lane of the highway, contains four graves of an early pioneer family who died from yellow fever. The State of Florida has refused to move, or place a marker at this site. What is more "haunting," is that according to officials with the Highway Department, this short section of the highway, has more accidents than any other section of the entire interstate!! Shall we say--its the revenge of the dead for disturbing their sacred resting place. But these are not the only graves beneath I-4, beneath the Altamonte Springs section of Interstate-Four, there is another small family cemetery. There should be no wonder at the misery experienced by motorists in traffic jams and accidents in these sections of I-4, and what is most bizarre--is that these things were predicted by old time residents before the Interstate was open. Drive with care---Care for the dead!

I LOVE reading things like this so don't stop now.
