A good choice for those who like state specific weird stories…
Chronicles of the Strange and Uncanny in Florida by Greg Jenkins is part of the grand Americana tradition of weird folklore and tall tales that are state specific.
I am a collector of stories and stage specific volumes are always useful for more focused research.
This book makes a nice addition.
Covering everything from alien sightings to moss monsters to possibly living dinosaurs…it’s a wealth of material with a helpful index (if you are looking for a specific person, place, or thing reference).
The book draws from government reports, regional news papers, and other sources, only giving a handful of pages to eat category to maximize the variety of coverage.
This would be a good start for those interesting in dipping their feel into the supernatural weird of the sunshine state before taking a deep dive…
