I love this stuff. I recently bought a book called "Weird Florida" that has all kinds of good "unexplained" stuff in it. I think there are a couple of these books out, now.
And I LOVE Spook Hill. It is an optical illusion but you will swear you are really going uphill.

THE DEVIL'S CIRCLE
BLACK WATER SWAMP, LAKE COUNTY.
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.

WOW! We've got the exact same thing in Orlando. It's called Pine Hills. There is a tale, told by old and new timers, of a subdivision, in Orange County, just north of Highway 50. Reportedly, no outsider walks inside this area and returns alive. Folklore has it, that objects placed inside of the area known as Pine Hills overnight will vanish!

If you are ever in Fort Lauderdale stop in James Randi's place
http://www.randi.org/
On the last Wed of the month they have an open house and you can hear about all kinds of stuff. He is a debunker and doesn't believe in anything supernatural.
I live just down the street from him now and a lot of people don't even know his place is there or pass and don't know what it is.

Strange Stuff Falling From The Sunshine State's Skies-
Lets get some more strange situations on the thread:  - In September, 1978, ice cubes fell from the sky on a Lake Worth Residence. In February, 1958, a glittering glob of pulsating matter fell from the clouds over a Miami neighborhood, and landed in a man's backyard. There were numerous witnesses to the event, but the glob soon dissolved without leaving a trace of what it was. In May 1959, a frozen hen's egg fell from the sky over Orlando. On September 3, 1969, hundreds of golf balls rained down on a section of Punta Gorda. The most smelly of weird sky-falls, happened in September 1971, when thousands of fish fell on Port Richey. Unfortunately, there have been no reported cases of money raining from the heavens above Florida---of course if one might want to avoid the IRS, then it might be wise not to report any cash falls from the sky.

Gulf Breeze was in the spotlight in 1987 for UFO sightings & photography (both still and vhs).
Pensacola Beach has been widely known for it's most famous UFO house for Many Many Years!
