There\u2019s something up with the name Hernando de Soto. It\u2019s hidden just below the surface of so many of the haunted legends on the Gulf Coast of Florida, springing up like a weed hinting at something rotten below the surface. \u2026and then there\u2019s the story of his daughter and how the sleepy city of Sarasota got its name. Join Christopher Balzano as he traces the ghostly legends in the area linked to a curse placed on the infamous Conquistador Hernando de Soto. From the spooky in towns like Arcadia and Bradenton to haunted plagues in places like Fort DeSoto, he\u2019ll retrace the rumors and tell the tales of a bleak side of history which may explain the creepy of today. \u2026and maybe find out how the Curse of de Soto extends to his imaginary daughter. &amp;nbsp; There were many episodes and ghostly legends mentioned in this episode, so I created an easy playlist for you faithful listeners with time on your hands. Seems like a good time to subscribe to the show if you haven't.
