Join us this week as we dive into a very special episode that features a very special guest, my friend Sam! We'll discuss our time living in the dorms of the haunted Flagler College --formerly the Hotel Ponce de Leon-- within the old, spooky city of St. Augustine, as well as our marvelous paranormal misadventures in Micanopy and Gainesville. We've even featured an EVP caught in Sam's stairwell at Flagler for your listening pleasure --let us know what you make of it! [AUTHOR NOTE: I definitely said that Henry Flagler built the hotel in the 1600s, and I couldn't have been more wrong and I should know better. The hotel was opened in 1888.]
