spooktacular

1:02

people. Welcome

1:21

to this 536th episode of the History

1:23

Goes Bump podcast. Ghost Tours for the

1:25

Theatre of the Mind. I'm your host,

1:27

Diane. And this is Kelly. Kelly,

1:29

on this episode, we have an investigation. We haven't

1:31

done one of those in a while. Always

1:34

a favorite. We stayed at the Artisan

1:36

Hotel in DeLand and while we were

1:38

in DeLand, we learned this place has

1:40

got a lot of haunted locations. So

1:42

that's what we're going to feature on

1:44

this episode, the haunted parts of DeLand

1:46

and our investigation. So we're

1:48

looking forward to bringing that to you. Before we

1:50

get into that, we want to welcome into the

1:53

Spooktacular crew Jim, Amy, Joe and

1:55

Deja. Thank you so much for

1:57

joining our Facebook group. And Now

1:59

this. The moment nodded. He. The

2:10

moment in oddity was suggested by his

2:12

and silk. Many. People have

2:14

had the experience of skipping rocks across the

2:16

body of water. Finding just

2:18

the right smoothstone is the key to

2:20

success. That concept was use

2:23

as a battery yeah they San

2:25

Antonio also called the Spanish Water

2:27

Battery of for Broncos in Pensacola,

2:29

Florida. Back during the American

2:32

Revolution, the British controlled Pensacola, Florida and

2:34

had built afford a top some hills

2:36

overlooking the bay. It's purpose

2:38

was to keep enemy ships from entering the

2:40

body of water. And Seventeen

2:43

Eighty One, a Spanish fleet team

2:45

up against support and quickly over

2:47

to the British, suffering very little

2:49

damage from their gunfire. The ford itself

2:51

was of strong fortification, however it's

2:53

location upon the hill made us

2:55

firepower inadequate for proper protection. The.

2:57

Spanish added to the fourth designed

2:59

by creating a masonry water battery

3:01

closer to the water level of

3:03

the say. The new structure was

3:05

of semi circular construction, allowing and

3:07

expanded field of coverage for their

3:09

artillery. The. Most fascinating part of

3:12

this complex was Adidas new sea level

3:14

location. It allowed for cannon balls to

3:16

be skipped across the surface of the

3:18

day. Thus, allowing cannonball

3:20

see travel great distances before making

3:22

contact with their intended target. The

3:25

fort is the third oldest in Florida

3:27

with only Casio days and Marcos and

3:29

Fort Mcclellan. This and St. Augustine. Been

3:31

older. Currently for process only

3:34

offers self guided tours available during

3:36

the fall season through the National

3:38

Park Service as mobile app and

3:40

it may it open for regular

3:42

tours. Skipping. Cannonballs along

3:44

a base surface to be able

3:46

to reach their intended target certainly

3:48

is on. Skis,

4:03

And. Now this month and history. In

4:21

the month of May on the since

4:23

and eighteen Sixty eight the first a

4:25

decoration day was observed. It was

4:27

three years after the end of the Civil war. in

4:29

the Grand Army. Of. The Republic designated the day

4:31

for decorating the graves of the war dead

4:33

with flowers. Later Major General John

4:35

A Low can declare that the date to

4:37

be moved to May thirtieth. The.

4:39

First large observance took place at

4:41

Arlington. National Cemetery. Several.

4:44

Washington. Officials conducted the ceremonies

4:46

including Gen and Mrs. Ulysses

4:48

Grant and then Congressman. James

4:50

Garfield. Garfield set a standard

4:53

at this inaugural address by explaining what

4:55

that Grayson Day with all about and

4:57

why to be commemorated. Once the speeches

4:59

were finished, children from the Soldiers and

5:01

Sailors Orphan Home and members of the

5:03

D A R made their way through

5:05

the cemetery. They laid flowers

5:07

on both Union and Confederate grave,

5:09

resigning prayers and. Singing him. The

5:12

name Memorial Day became more commonplace after

5:14

World War Two, but the Federal government.

5:17

Didn't officially adopt the name until Nineteen

5:19

Sixty Seven. Later and Nineteen Sixty Eight,

5:21

Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act

5:24

which established Memorial Day as the last

5:26

Monday and May in order to create

5:28

a three day weekend. For. Federal Employees.

5:30

The change when into effect

5:33

in Nineteen Seventy One. There

5:44

is over four hundred years

5:46

of history connected to Volusia

5:48

County in Florida, including Native

5:50

American residency, Spanish exploration, French

5:52

colonization, and British settlement. To.

5:55

Land as a city and Volusia County.

5:57

just a short drive from the spiritualists

5:59

camp of Casablanca. We. Spent a

6:01

night at the Artisan Hotel, a boutique hotel

6:03

in the historic. Downtown. We.

6:05

Did a low investigating and visited some of

6:07

the paranormal hot spots and town. On

6:10

this episode we're going to share what we

6:12

found about the history and hans of the

6:14

land Florida. And.

6:35

The. Native Americans who settled what would

6:37

become the land left behind oyster mounds

6:39

and shards of pottery you know, the

6:41

version of trash. Kelly Fitness if our

6:44

trust could be so nice. Exactly the

6:46

new piece. For a long time because

6:48

it was hard for settlers to reach

6:50

this area, only steamboats traveling up the

6:52

St. John's River could get here. Same.

6:55

Boat Captain John Rich was the first the

6:57

subtle what was known as Persimmon Hollow for

6:59

years because of all the while precision trees.

7:01

Growing in the vicinity. He. Arrived

7:03

and eighteen Seventy Four. And built a

7:06

simple cracker house. And that's not

7:08

a slang term necessarily. Some people. it is

7:10

actually a style of house that was here

7:12

in Florida. And the people who live. There

7:14

they called them that name as well. Written.

7:17

Been to Florida before. He had come

7:19

with his regiment, the One Hundred and Forty Fourth. New

7:21

York Infantry because all the men were

7:23

sick with typhoid. And they needed to

7:25

recuperate. When. He returned to live. He brought

7:27

his wife Clara and they eventually had the first

7:29

child born in the land. The. First religious

7:31

service in the town was at their house. Henry.

7:34

Addison Deland with a baking soda magnet from

7:36

New York and he arrived and eighteen seventy

7:39

six and he thought the area would be

7:41

great for citrus and tourism. It

7:43

seems to land. Had a case of orange

7:45

fever. That's. What they called this

7:47

fervor that overtook some people who purchased land

7:49

in Florida may be. Get it when you

7:51

have too much orange juices and perhaps. It.

7:54

Wasn't that way for him at first though. His.

7:56

Brother in law brought him down because he

7:59

purchased land europe. The code orange City.

8:01

The. Land had no use for dry sand and

8:03

like underbrush but when they got to the

8:05

rolling hills and towering pines near Orange City

8:07

to land fell in love with the prospects

8:10

of what he could build here and declared

8:12

that the area was like the west. Kelly.

8:14

I can certainly a test that he

8:16

couldn't be comparing Florida because her Us

8:19

or California. For that was rolling

8:21

hills and towering plays. I mean, the pines are

8:23

very. Different here in Florida we have just the

8:25

the pine tree and hard at the very top

8:27

Yes. Yeah, long pole pain but you could

8:29

see what he meant. You come through. There's

8:32

so many wild area still here in

8:34

Florida and you can imagine these people

8:36

who were getting ready to settle areas

8:38

going. ah because even nowadays which I'm

8:40

sure is horrible for the environment, they

8:42

just burn all that underbrush when they're

8:45

clearing the land of put houses and

8:47

stuff him. He. Sounded a town

8:49

and eighteen seventy six and the few residents

8:51

voted to name it for him. To.

8:53

Land brought many workers from New York to

8:56

clear the land and layouts streets. The.

8:58

Town of the land would be a special place because

9:00

of the man who founded it. He. Felt

9:02

that this was his time to give back for

9:04

all that he had been given Any wanted to

9:07

land to be a community based on culture and

9:09

education. The. Land was the first

9:11

city and Florida to have electricity. In.

9:13

Eighteen Seventy Seven, The land built a

9:16

public school for the town of Freeze,

9:18

and Eighteen Eighty Five wiped out the

9:20

orange crop and basically wiped out the

9:22

land themselves. So. He headed back to New

9:24

York and handed over the school to his friend John

9:26

be set them. Yes, The guy

9:28

who created the stats and hat. And. Again

9:30

her come back to. Colorado Springs. Back

9:32

those memories. Any with cowboy

9:34

hats, The. School eventually became

9:37

Stetson University named for him. The.

9:39

Sports teams are known as the Haters.

9:42

We'd. Like to go with Mad Hatters.

9:44

That. Would be fun, but they probably.

9:47

Would appreciate that, I'm sure. Dylan. Was

9:49

officially incorporated. And Eighteen Eighty Two, and

9:51

as the county seat of Volusia County. The.

9:53

First court house was built and eighteen eighty

9:55

eight out of wood on land donated by

9:57

Henry. The land. The. historically

10:00

County Courthouse was built in 1829

10:02

in the Gothic neoclassical style with

10:04

a wonderful cupola that features a

10:07

four-sided clock tower and colossal porticoes

10:09

with fluted Corinthian columns and was one of the

10:11

first things that we saw when we came into

10:13

the historic downtown. Yes, it is absolutely

10:16

gorgeous. The interior features

10:18

stained glass in the dome and

10:20

columns with ornately carved capitals. Now

10:22

I wish we'd gone inside and looked but I

10:24

was worried about going into the courthouse. I tried

10:26

to tell you I would, well, multiple

10:28

times I said, let me just go through the

10:30

door and ask if we can come in and

10:33

look around and you got all shy. I know,

10:35

I wasn't sure if it was still an active courthouse and

10:37

I'm like are we gonna have to go through metal detectors

10:39

and stuff? Well even so. It was.

10:42

It's not like we were packing. Other

10:46

buildings have been added to the complex over

10:49

the years and there's a memorial garden and

10:51

long fountain pool across the street which is

10:53

really cool and that's where the

10:55

modern courthouse is now located. And the

10:57

newer Volusia County Courthouse is where Eileen Warnos

10:59

was tried and convicted and sentenced to death

11:02

in 1992. I don't know if

11:05

we call that a little fun fact. I don't know about

11:07

that but it's a fact. Our

11:10

first official stop on our adventure through DeLand

11:12

was the Haunted Antique Shop which unfortunately closed

11:14

recently as the landlord died and the woman

11:17

who ran the shop, Corinne Kenner, couldn't buy

11:19

it herself with all the work that needed

11:21

to be done to it. It's

11:23

a bummer because this was a really cool place.

11:26

The shop was inside a craftsman bungalow

11:28

that was built in 1920 for James

11:30

and Lucinda DeWalt. There was a

11:33

building boom in Florida after the First World

11:35

War and the DeWalt's were part of that.

11:38

James was a chauffeur and worked shuttling

11:40

people back and forth into land and

11:42

nearby cities. Lucinda liked to sit

11:44

in a rocking chair by the fire and work on

11:46

Needle Point as she waited for James to come home.

11:49

The shop had a rocker that was built in the 1970s that

11:51

Corinne dubbed Lucinda's

11:53

chair because it would occasionally rock

11:55

on its own. That Chair sat

11:57

by the fireplace and the front register area.

12:00

The. Interior was like walking into your

12:02

grandmother's parlor. Only. This one was

12:04

filled with various curiosity is and

12:06

creepy mannequins. Yeah. We were little

12:08

weird. walked in there like it's kind

12:10

of like an antiques up by saying.

12:12

To me, walking you're like wow, there's some.

12:15

Great. Stuff in here for. Assessing the other

12:17

that the perfect. Kind of antiques up for us

12:19

to walk into. Korean. Is

12:21

a certified Terrell Master an astrologer

12:23

and we liked her immediately. The

12:26

shop had an antique register wheat mood and odd

12:28

about and then we did the little tour that

12:30

was offered. The shop has a

12:32

typical haunting activity of doors opening and

12:34

closing on their own, lights turning off

12:36

and on and without assistance, and there

12:38

are decent bodied footsteps and voices that

12:40

come from rooms that are empty. A

12:43

mirror on the top of a cabinet had what

12:45

looked to be the impression of a woman's face.

12:47

It. Was weird. The. House was

12:50

a huge. With two bedrooms to the left

12:52

of the front room, a hallway that lead into

12:54

a dining room and then a kitchen area behind

12:56

that filled with vintage. Kitchenware, It's

12:59

believe that there are five spirits and the

13:01

shop. Fees. Or James and Lucinda.

13:03

James and Rosie Hern who lived in the

13:05

house later, and Annette Dennis who also lived

13:08

in the house. James. To

13:10

waltz disembodied. Voices been heard often in

13:12

the pantry. Print. And her daughters

13:14

Both have experienced that they described it as a

13:16

deep. Baritone com voice.

13:19

We. Have some stuff happened while we were there. Are.

13:21

A A Math Had a little action but only

13:23

hit read a couple times briefly. Grin.

13:26

Came out to tell us that a little wouldn't

13:28

soldier. Had a ported. Father.

13:31

Nowhere. And

13:38

he only had two. Soldiers and found

13:41

a third one on the floor. Where.

13:46

Is. Hop out of. Yes,

13:48

and off her fact I only have two soldiers

13:50

has I felt bad? Any, they're supposed to be

13:52

a third. but. I

13:54

just help a child. Yes, Of

13:58

the fanbase. they

14:00

hid it for a while. We better give it

14:02

back to her. Very

14:04

cool. Yeah,

14:06

so we of course we weren't

14:08

in the room so we can't completely vouch

14:11

for it but Gryn seemed like she honestly

14:13

was shocked that it happened. Yeah,

14:15

most definitely. And for the

14:17

most part she was in a whole nother room so I don't

14:19

know if she'd gone in there to put

14:21

something back or if she just glanced over and saw

14:23

the little soldier on the floor all of a sudden.

14:26

Yeah, I think she said she just came into the room and

14:28

found it on the floor. The most

14:30

haunted object in the shop was a

14:32

very little doll called Charlie. He was

14:35

and he was a very little doll just sitting up on

14:37

the mantle on this chair. Yeah, probably only

14:39

I don't know 10 inches high. Now

14:41

he had originally been in this thing

14:43

called the Cabinet of Curiosities which was

14:45

a magical thing. We opened it up

14:48

and she had told us that one day she'd

14:50

heard like a thump coming from it when it

14:52

was closed and she opened it up and Charlie

14:54

and his chair were turned completely backwards. Right. He

14:56

wasn't facing out anymore so she took him out

14:58

of the Cabinet and kept him outside from then

15:00

on. We did put a video up on

15:02

Instagram and I'll just play a little bit of the audio

15:04

here. Oh there's all kinds of

15:06

good stuff in here. Look at the bottles.

15:09

Oh my.

15:14

They have a Fiji mermaid in

15:16

there. Oh yeah.

15:20

Look at the cute little hitchhiker doll. We

15:29

keep our most haunted artifacts in our Cabinet

15:31

of Curiosities. Go ahead and open the

15:33

double doors. Inside some of

15:36

the objects move on their own. Others

15:38

seem to radiate mischief. One

15:40

doll has eyes that follow visitors around the room.

15:43

Another smiles when she sees newcomers. People

15:46

do say they feel psychic energy radiating from

15:48

the Cabinet as if more than one spirit

15:50

is occupying the space. Look

15:53

at the stereoscope from 1900 and it

15:56

even has the cards with it.

15:58

What are we looking at? The stereoscope

16:00

out. Oh, yeah, it sure does.

16:03

Look at that mummified

16:05

palmistry hand. Oh,

16:09

they're uh opera binoculars.

16:11

Oh, yeah. Are you

16:13

getting like some energy off this at

16:15

all? My

16:18

head feels a little weird. Yeah, my head feels a

16:20

little weird. I felt a little weird ever since I

16:22

came in. These

16:24

three dolls, presumably Shakespearean characters, came

16:26

from a small Italian village where

16:28

artisans crafted marionettes for puppet shows.

16:31

Oh. They're not toys, they're works

16:33

of art. They literally embodied

16:35

the people of the past because their heads

16:37

were styled with actual human hair. Whoa.

16:40

I can tell. What

16:42

does it feel like a mirror? Yeah, I have like

16:44

a mirror. And that's probably true for the old-time medicine

16:46

bottles you'll find on the top shelf of our cabinet

16:48

of curiosities. Admire them all

16:50

you like, but please don't ingest the contents.

16:54

Got a liniment bottle. Flums,

16:56

liniment. What is

16:58

the alcohol on its face? 70%. Oh.

17:04

There are two little dolls in the cabinet that are

17:06

a groom and bride, and they are named for James

17:08

and Rosie Hearn. And quite possibly,

17:10

they might be inhabited by their spirits.

17:13

Corinne would sometimes find the dolls facing away from

17:15

each other when she would come into the shop

17:17

in the morning. She would usually

17:19

leave them with a groom putting his arm around

17:22

the bride. How they moved, she didn't know. The

17:24

cabinet certainly has a heavy feeling about it when

17:27

it is open. When we went

17:29

into the dining room, we found a little fun

17:31

wheel of fate that you could spin, and the

17:33

K2 started going crazy near it. We

17:36

debunked that there was anything electrical around it, and

17:38

later we went over to see if we could

17:40

get any spikes, and we didn't. I

17:42

spun the wheel and got, watch your back. A

17:45

little unnerving, just a little. It

17:48

really was a cute little shop, and

17:50

definitely had energy. Its next

17:52

evolution will be as a Montessori school.

17:55

I wonder if any of the kids

17:57

there will notice anything strange. Yeah, I

18:00

was wondering the same thing and it's mentioned

18:18

John Stetson earlier. He brought his

18:20

wife Elizabeth and the three sons to spend winters

18:22

in the land. He not only

18:24

donated a million dollars to the school that

18:27

would take his name, he built an ice

18:29

making factory, power plant and a packing plant.

18:32

Stetson had been born in 1830 in New

18:34

Jersey and learned the hat trade because that

18:36

was his father's profession. Stetson

18:38

became ill with TB and headed west

18:40

to Colorado. In his travels

18:42

he saw Mexican Vaqueros with 10 gallon

18:44

sombreros and he decided to make a

18:46

similar hat that was waterproof. The

18:48

hat worked so well that cowboys could give their

18:51

horses water from them. The first one

18:53

he made was bought off him quickly by a

18:55

cowboy who saw the value in a wide brim

18:57

that offered protection from sun and rain. People

19:00

started calling it the boss of the plains. At

19:02

first when he started telling people he wanted to make this

19:05

they laughed at him because they're like, what does

19:07

a guy need a 10 gallon hat for? They

19:09

were used to derby hats. Stetson

19:12

settled in Philadelphia in 1865 and became incredibly successful

19:15

in the hat business opening

19:17

several factories. He came to the land

19:19

in 1885 and spent 20

19:21

winters there. The Stetsons built

19:23

a magnificent mansion that still stands

19:26

today. Stetson died in the

19:28

mansion at the age of 75 in 1906 from a stroke. Elizabeth closed

19:32

up the mansion after that and it sat abandoned

19:35

for many years with just a caretaker. We

19:37

drove by to have a look but it's only

19:40

open to the public at select times like the

19:42

holiday season. The mansion describes

19:44

itself as the only Gilded Age

19:46

mansion and the largest, grandest, most

19:48

innovative home ever built in Florida

19:50

before 1900. It is

19:52

very eclectic for sure. Architect

19:55

George T. Pearson Designed it as

19:57

a blend of Gothic, Tudor, Moorish

19:59

and Polynesian. The. This. Three

20:01

story house is huge but apparently only

20:03

half the size of what stats and

20:05

really wanted. Mrs. Stetson is the

20:07

one who got the plans reduced to just

20:10

under ten thousand square feet. And she

20:12

put her foot down and said you know we're only

20:14

spending winters here we don't need I'm I guess a

20:16

column Mcmahon since they built today. This.

20:18

Was one of the first homes in

20:20

Florida to have electricity and Edison's himself

20:23

supervise the installation as he was friends

20:25

with the stepsons. And I don't know

20:27

how many people know, but Edison actually lived in Florida

20:29

for a while to. The. Interior featured

20:31

a variety of complicated carbines, a

20:33

stunning grand staircase, tiffany stained glass,

20:36

a glass wall imported from a

20:38

French chateau, sixteen patterns of the

20:40

nation's most rare and intricate per

20:43

case wood floors, and ten thousand

20:45

pains of original leaded glass windows.

20:48

I bet you'd like some of those. Heck Yes!

20:51

There. Are garden think of the both and fountains

20:53

around the property. And eight hundred

20:55

square foot Polynesians file building was built

20:57

next to the house as a kitchen.

21:00

After the house was expanded to include a

21:02

kitten, the building became a private school for

21:04

the stats and children. The. Health

21:06

hosted the likes of The

21:08

Astor's the Vanderbilts, Henry Flagler,

21:10

the Carnegie's and President Grover

21:12

Cleveland. The. House is currently owned

21:14

by J T Thompson and Mikasa Laurie

21:16

who purchased it in two thousand and

21:18

five. There. Are those who claim

21:20

that John Stetson hans his former home. Much.

21:23

Of the activity comes from a middle room on

21:25

the second floor. A. Woman seen their

21:27

claims that she was kissed by someone she

21:30

couldn't see. Another visitors on

21:32

a person of a servant wearing garb

21:34

from the nineteenth century. People.

21:36

Hear music from another era outside where Concert

21:38

for held in the Yard. One

21:40

might even see the spirit of that since unique

21:42

pet. An alligator named lower guard

21:45

who has kept in a pit behind

21:47

the house. A specific

21:49

way of you really want to keep it as

21:51

a pet but they would go out there in

21:53

their finest period. a tire and. Watch the

21:56

keeper C B Alligator when I

21:58

read have Death Okay now. Filled

22:00

in for the pits. not there anymore. Kelly.

22:02

You and I decided that we would get out and

22:04

take pictures of your like Obama the gave us are

22:06

closed. And it's I didn't realize that it

22:08

actually was a private residence. I thought that

22:10

they have tours and stuff, right? but they

22:12

really do only do it during the holiday.

22:15

Season and it's like number it's

22:17

in. The top ten of Christmas destinations

22:19

for you to go see. the way

22:21

they decorated I guess. Our Christmas houses but

22:23

we wanted a picture so we went. We're

22:26

at the front gate snapping pictures and then

22:28

I indicated to Kelly that I saw there

22:30

was this heads that was in front of

22:32

the gate. That pretty much it was hard

22:34

to see over so you really can only see

22:36

where the gate was. But I thought. Oh,

22:38

there's a patch down there were there's not any

22:40

hedge. Let's go down and era take a picture

22:42

of. So. We go down there and

22:44

Kelly's holding her phone apply and click and

22:47

pictures and apparently the pool is back in

22:49

this area. And. Oliver said. She realized

22:51

she could see a balls that were like oh

22:53

my father's. Body set up by the pool.

22:55

Brightwater goes quick. Picks are so. Embarrassing enough

22:57

to assists the A. It's a really

22:59

cool look and house and it does

23:02

have a. Lot of different architectural

23:04

design to it. so. So

23:06

now my mom, We've talked to her

23:09

about. As he's like oh yeah, I've heard all about it.

23:11

Or a doubling and a half.christmas Some give

23:13

a tour on the inside. Stetson.

23:15

University is one of the oldest privately

23:17

funded universities in Florida. He was rudely

23:19

name to Land Academy when it was

23:21

established and eighteen Eighty Three. The.

23:24

Campus stretches over a hundred and seventy five

23:26

acres, and several the buildings on campus are

23:28

said to be haunted. Bland.

23:30

Hall is known as the Grand Old Lady

23:32

and was built in the late nineteenth century

23:34

and the Fence second empire style. It.

23:36

Has a gorgeous tower at the front of it with

23:39

the very distinct of roof. One. Female

23:41

student claim that she was sitting in a couch

23:43

and the hall studying when the grandfather clock near

23:45

her struck three times and then she heard very

23:47

loud footsteps near her. She. Looked

23:49

up and around but there was nobody around. She.

23:52

Left and later told a professor about the

23:54

odd experience and he looked at are strangely

23:56

and told her that the grandfather to the

23:58

milk and hadn't to. years. Oh

24:01

my! I'm sure it was just a chance that it went off

24:03

at that particular moment. Elizabeth Hall

24:05

was named for Stetson's wife Elizabeth and

24:07

was designed after Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

24:09

This started as the College of

24:12

Natural Sciences. Several different departments are

24:14

housed there now along with faculty offices.

24:17

The south end of the building has Lee Chapel.

24:19

This is a 100 year old performance

24:21

hall having been built in 1897. It's named after a former

24:25

president and features a 1961 Beccareth organ made

24:27

in Hamburg Germany that has 2,548 pipes. Oh

24:29

my word! I would love to see that.

24:31

I know. So I was like I wonder

24:37

if that was open. We should have gone through that.

24:40

So we definitely have got to go back to the land

24:42

and see some of these things in person. We just kind

24:44

of did the outskirts of the campus. Chadoan

24:46

Hall features disembodied footsteps and

24:48

strange noises and screaming down

24:50

the hallways. Cameron Shavaness

24:52

wrote of the haunts on campus in

24:54

a Medium article in 2013 named

24:57

The Ghost of DeLand. She said,

24:59

I was in Chadoan last year and I

25:01

did experience hearing noises and loud screams at

25:03

the end of the hallway. The

25:06

history of Chadoan Hall and the experiences

25:08

of my friends and I all point

25:10

toward possible paranormal activity. My

25:12

favorite haunted place on campus is Elizabeth Hall

25:15

and the ghost of Elizabeth who haunts it.

25:17

I think every Stetson student has heard

25:19

of this particular ghost. Some

25:22

of my friends have experienced paranormal events

25:24

going on in Elizabeth Hall while they

25:26

were studying for finals a couple years

25:28

ago. One night my friend

25:30

Danny was studying in Elizabeth and he heard

25:32

noises from the bathroom. He heard

25:34

the bathroom door open but did not see anyone

25:36

come in. The noises became louder

25:38

even though no one was around and he eventually

25:40

packed up his stuff and walked back to his

25:43

dorm. He has never been back to

25:45

study at Elizabeth Hall and to this day he

25:47

still will not go back to the building. And

25:50

she didn't say what dorm she lived in but she

25:52

also shared, a couple of months ago

25:54

I had come back from class and went into my

25:56

dorm room. I said hi to my roommate

25:58

but she was not in the room. so I assumed

26:00

she was in the bathroom. I heard her

26:02

say hello back only for her to walk into the

26:04

room from the front door a couple of seconds later.

26:07

I was completely shocked.

26:09

Holy Cowher is a unique part of the

26:11

campus and despite the fact that the tower

26:13

part no longer exists, it still has something

26:15

about it that makes it strange on a

26:17

university campus. This is a mausoleum.

26:20

One of the presidents of

26:22

Stutson University was Dr. Lincoln Holy. He

26:24

served from 1904 until 1934, so

26:27

he left a mark on the place. During

26:29

his tenure he helped to fund the building

26:31

of the Holy Tower in 1934. This

26:34

rose to 116 feet and featured rough

26:36

cast bells that ranged in size from 575

26:38

to 3000 pounds.

26:42

Before the tower could be finished, Holy died and

26:44

he was buried on the first floor. His

26:47

wife Eloise Mayhem Holy died 25 years later

26:49

and she was buried next to him. The

26:52

11 bell carillon were named for

26:54

Eloise as the Eloise chimes. Stories

26:57

on campus maintain that the Holies like to

26:59

take ghostly walks and they usually have a

27:01

small dog with them. The couple

27:03

are usually seen arm-in-arm walking near

27:06

their mausoleum but sometimes they venture

27:08

across campus. Nearby residents

27:10

also have had experiences. One

27:12

of these residents was walking near an establishment that it

27:14

housed the Holiday House Restaurant when he saw a couple

27:17

walking their little white dog and he approached them to

27:19

see if he could pet the dog. As

27:21

he got closer he noticed that their clothing was of

27:23

another era so he thought perhaps they were

27:25

on their way to a costume party and then

27:27

the couple just wasn't there anymore. People

27:30

who have investigated outside the tower have

27:32

picked up the distinct smell of flowers

27:34

even though there were no flowers around.

27:37

The Da Vinci Design Studio is

27:39

located at 117 West Halry Avenue.

27:42

This has been home to a variety

27:44

of businesses over the years including Trilogy

27:47

Coffee, Buddha Bowl, a hot dog stand,

27:49

CBD store, and an antique shop. There

27:52

are thought to be three ghosts here. One

27:54

is a little girl, another is named Hiram who

27:56

had lived in a back room of the house

27:58

and he is a mean spirit.

28:01

A woman named Tiffany had worked there as

28:03

she heard his raspy disembodied breathing and one

28:05

day she was up on a ladder painting

28:07

as she turned around to see a man

28:09

standing there with glasses and a bald head

28:12

and he disappeared. The third ghost is

28:14

named Evelyn and it is thought that she was

28:16

Hiram's cousin and that she took care of him.

28:19

The lights flicker on their own in this house. The

28:22

Masonic building at 142 South Woodland Boulevard

28:24

was built in 1925 by William Carpenter

28:28

and was known as the St. John's Masonic Lodge

28:30

number seven. The lower floor

28:32

had a lobby, fireplace, and five stores.

28:35

The second floor contained parlors and a large

28:37

banquet room. The third floor had

28:39

the lodge rooms where rituals were conducted. The

28:42

main meeting room was obscured from onlookers. People

28:44

who've worked in the building claimed to

28:47

have heard disembodied chanting and they've seen

28:49

a figure wearing a cloak. No businesses

28:51

have been successful on the second floor.

28:53

Of course they have all the stories that

28:56

go with the Masonic Lodge is about. They

28:58

were sacrificing people inside and now you have

29:00

the spirits left over from that. I don't

29:02

believe anyone was ever sacrificed inside. The

29:04

Putnam Hotel started as the Grove House in 1880 and

29:07

was built by Henry DeLand.

29:09

It changed its name to Putnam House

29:11

for Arthur Putnam who bought it in

29:14

1885. In 1888 it changed to

29:16

the Putnam Inn. This was a wooden

29:18

structure that burned to the ground in 1921. The

29:20

newly built concrete hotel opened in 1923 designed by

29:22

architect William Carpenter and the

29:27

Mediterranean Revival style. And

29:29

a little fun fact Carpenter designed Hotel Casa

29:31

Dega too. It had a great

29:33

run as a hotel offering luxury but eventually

29:35

it became more of a night spot for

29:37

drinking in the bar which later expanded into

29:39

a rock music venue and then a few

29:41

other incarnations before it finally closed in 2011.

29:44

It was demolished in 2023 so that's why

29:46

we did not see it Kelly clearly.

29:49

One legend behind the haunts that were here is about

29:51

a couple renting a room. The Female was

29:54

an actress and she was starring in a play and she

29:56

went off to do that while her husband stayed at the

29:58

hotel. We Will talk about the theater that. She

30:00

did that play in to Cement York is it's

30:02

also haunted. Later. He saw a man

30:04

embrace his wife and give her flowers and he

30:06

got really jealous and the to argued later at

30:08

the hotel and were told that they would have

30:10

to leave if they didn't tear down. The.

30:13

Next day the actress went to do or play well

30:15

or husband went and bought a gun. He

30:17

against her been embraced and getting flowers and he

30:19

confronted her when she got back to the hotel

30:21

any pulled the then. She. Tried to

30:23

grab the gun, it went off and a killer. He.

30:25

Then turned the gun on himself. The. Man

30:28

who had been visiting her the play turned out to

30:30

be her long lost brother. Of course

30:32

I found no proof for the story

30:34

Officer was another one death possible murder

30:36

that happened at this hotel was very

30:38

more recently and it was a drug

30:40

thing. A couple gotten a fight and

30:42

I think he threw off a balcony

30:44

or own another larceny. who knows. But that's

30:46

the only quote unquote Murder that I know of.

30:48

It's connected to the So Tall. Even.

30:51

Though the hotel was torn down and twenty twenty

30:53

three people still claim to hear a man and

30:55

woman screaming and two gunshots when they pass the

30:57

site. The. Sixth floor had a poltergeist

30:59

spirit and there was a burning wood and

31:01

flesh smell that probably carries over from a

31:03

nineteen seventeen fire in the hotel. Much

31:06

of the hauntings here were thought to be residual.

31:09

And. This is crazy. There's this woman named Tiffany

31:11

who does tours down there and she shared a

31:13

video of the hotel being torn down and she

31:15

had the Sls app on her phone going and

31:17

it seems to show a figure standing at the

31:20

chain link fence and it looks like it was

31:22

trying to shake the fence and anger. Wow.

31:24

That's bizarre. Yeah, I mean, it's. They're.

31:27

Definitely the figure on the fence. So

31:29

I don't know exactly what that was

31:31

about. Yeah, I mean they can map.

31:34

strange thing for it's not actually a

31:36

person, but it sure does look like

31:38

they're with a person hanging on to

31:40

the fence and Sakina. The I don't

31:42

necessarily trust phone apps, but it was

31:45

interesting. And. Now a

31:47

little break for worried about one

34:20

Edwin Barnhill built The Deland Hotel and

Nineteen Twenty Seven with his wife Jeanette.

34:24

The. Interiors were luxurious for the time and

34:27

34:34

With. This reminds me of is when I went to

called a sweet and so there were two girls on

34:40

the one side and then myself or my roommate on

34:43

the other side and we shared a shower and toilet.

34:45

But then we each had sinks in our rooms. At

34:48

to pay similar email and glad when we

34:50

stayed there we had our private bathroom yeah

34:52

I know that a success that your think

34:54

I'll you're not shared with in the nobody.

34:56

Four years after open internet passed away,

an Indian European fuse and restaurant downstairs along

35:55

with a bar. Today the hotel

35:57

has fourteen rooms and the restaurant is

35:59

now. Because Cuban Cafe! And the

36:01

food was amazing. Yes, it was.

36:04

We. Loved our room and we decided to do

36:06

a little investigating before we went down for dinner.

36:09

Edwin. Internet are thought to haunt the premises,

36:11

especially on the second floor where their room

36:13

had been. Edwin. Also likes to

36:15

hang out in the basement. There's. The

36:18

spirit of a young girl named Sarah Elizabeth

36:20

36:22

somebody footsteps and with lena Third and

36:24

empty. whoop. Dishes. Fly off

36:27

counters and shelves and the kitchen. Legend.

36:29

Claims that a prostitute was strangled in the

36:31

hotel although we haven't soundproof for that. Some.

36:34

Think that she hunts the hotel. They

36:37

and turned on the Goes To Be Up and

36:39

we immediately got trapped and then we were told

36:41

we were talking to someone who was young Which

36:43

struck Diane is weird because she was just about

36:45

to ask the age of the spirit. I.

36:47

Got out my Dell seem rods and we

36:50

immediately got interaction. We. Got confirmation that

36:52

we were talking to a child. We.

36:54

Talked about the bear we had brought with us

36:56

and the dowsing rod pointed in that direction. We.

36:58

Also have set up the flashlight experiment near the

37:01

bear and the flash light came on and then

37:03

37:41

38:43

Great. So.

38:46

We not only had Diane's had same three

38:48

but the flashlight turned on for three and

38:50

the dowsing rod confirmed it. Okay

38:53

so here I'm gonna go ahead and

38:55

play our first asked Assassin that we

38:57

conducted And for those of you who

38:59

are familiar with the way we do

39:01

this we now have a spirit box

39:03

that will record the session internally and

39:05

to save your ears seat on have

39:07

to listen to the blip Blip Blip

39:09

Blip Blip which are going to hear

39:11

here is Kelly asking questions and talking

39:14

and then you'll hear me responding and

39:16

then right after that you'll hear us

39:18

playing what I heard on the spirit

39:20

box. Some things I kind of got

39:22

what was being. Said others I'm not sure.

39:24

So case all sprinkle in something that was

39:26

said that I didn't catch or what have

39:28

you. So. Does the you feel for what

39:30

you're going to hear her? Say

39:34

thing. With. A slight tight

39:36

a A Santa. Fe

39:40

hey. Who.

39:48

As A and seem to. Have

39:52

surmised. That

39:56

will allow you to see through

39:58

it. I can't hear what I'm

40:00

saying. So

40:06

does anybody want to share their name with

40:08

her? Would

40:12

you like to ask us questions? It's

40:19

probably very common that people

40:21

come here and ask you guys a thing. We

40:24

have a question from right over. But

40:27

we wanted again to know

40:30

if there's any spirits here with

40:32

us right now. Maybe

40:34

you were here earlier, maybe you were from many of

40:36

us. Are you

40:38

crazy? I'm Tully.

40:40

I'm Sam. And

40:43

we're just coming to see

40:45

if you guys will communicate. Sure

40:48

she's around us. I'm

40:54

a mom and I have two

40:56

grown sons and they're really tiny. And...

41:03

Diana and I love doing her

41:05

and the uni and the tikkei and

41:07

the t and

41:26

the tikkei. We

41:31

have very limited knowledge of fish.

41:36

We can't do it here. Anyways,

41:39

community, you've all shot me. It's

41:43

all good. Okay. Well

41:48

thank you. You're so hot. Do

41:52

we have multiple spirits

41:54

with us? Both.

42:02

He. Did it at home there. I don't know

42:04

what I was saying. He

42:10

the whole. Thing

42:13

an offer you can. Call

42:19

her. How

42:22

her corruption? How. I feel free

42:24

to say no. The

42:28

shape if you prefer. To

42:38

Spanish. Even.

42:40

Across like be facing a

42:42

half. Happy

42:48

that are you. Sure

42:52

you can hear the game. Has.

42:59

He was. Fans. Horrible.

43:06

Former allies to lose as. Long

43:10

as a half. So

43:12

did you learn? How

43:15

we. Have

43:18

the English you heard anything

43:20

about a half of her?

43:22

I figured. He

43:25

didn't work or oh. He

43:28

will have a few to be sick if.

43:36

He passed. Away other. He

43:40

wants to pay for her. Often

43:45

to sometime after. Ah,

43:49

Ma sidewalk. House

43:54

to places. Nothing.

44:09

To have conversation, Health. Care.

44:15

To. Have learned English You. Surrender.

44:26

You media We hear that it started

44:28

with pay attack which. Is basically shut

44:30

up in spite of notices. It's

44:32

actually more polite in Spanish, but

44:35

that's the English translation as I

44:37

understand the culture. And for

44:39

those are you expect us Please correct the

44:41

found that. But. I was just putting

44:44

the headphones on my head so we weren't

44:46

really totally and the first yeah but I

44:48

heard that yelled out now was like oh

44:50

wow I think that the word isn't it.

44:53

I. Wasn't sure that the music that I

44:55

refer to their as cuban was really Cuban

44:57

music, but it is interesting that you were

45:00

talking about the music from the Cuban restaurant

45:02

downstairs and I can't hear you right? So

45:04

for me to say that music sounded kind

45:06

of Cuban right at the same moment that

45:09

you were talking about the restaurant, the full

45:11

interesting. I had taken my

45:13

headphones off when that last part

45:15

came through, so we really can't

45:17

make it out. Here it is

45:20

again. Space. Suits.

45:23

Are pulled them. Do

45:30

you guys have an idea of what was being

45:32

said there? We. Conducted a

45:34

second best assassin and got the

45:36

following interactions: Of

45:41

an adult with us. Well

45:45

as pushing them outside. Towards my

45:48

shoulders. Is

45:55

itself. A

45:57

H. Yeah.

46:15

He will such. A

46:21

high in fat is worse. She

46:29

says that the way she hears that the

46:31

genetic. Is

46:38

he. Are

46:41

going. To

46:46

talk to her to might be easier

46:48

to shield he to she can pick

46:50

up emerged from evil. Idea

46:52

the it. Either.

46:56

That or five yelling at. The

46:59

baby. Ah ah hey

47:02

honey. From

47:05

the. Shooter

47:16

said. Who?

47:21

A full court? Alfalfa

47:25

to have multiple sphere. And

47:28

heck we have coffee with us. Ah,

47:32

Ha Ho! Ho

47:35

Ho. very

47:51

hot shot Now

48:01

if you want to say anything to her,

48:03

though, who you're communicating

48:05

with, she's

48:08

just going to say it out well. She can't hear what I

48:10

was saying. If you want to share

48:12

a name, the

48:15

age, the

48:18

number of spirits. We

48:22

also have a flashlight over there. We

48:24

really appreciate you lighting that up again.

48:26

How many of us were working with that

48:29

earlier today? One. Are

48:31

you on? I was

48:33

response to you all the time. Yes.

48:41

Thank you. I

48:43

really appreciate you communicating. You're

48:47

all yours. You're all yours. What

48:51

do I want to ask for it? I'm

48:53

not saying that everybody else has. Let

48:58

me just break in here really quick. There

49:01

were some things that came across the spirit

49:03

box that I either didn't catch or

49:05

I couldn't really hear or understand. This is one

49:07

of those. It

49:09

was very soft, but as I listened to

49:12

it more closely, I'm thinking it's saying everybody

49:14

who, which makes sense because Kelly

49:16

just said, I want to ask some things

49:18

that everybody else hasn't. So it's almost like

49:21

the spirit saying, well, there's supposed to be some

49:23

other people in here. Everybody who? What are you

49:25

referencing? Have

49:29

you ever been able

49:32

to manifest as a

49:34

calmer? Or have you

49:38

ever seen the spirit here with a particular color?

49:46

Remember, no is pushing out towards my

49:48

shoulder. The S is crossed. You

50:00

just put a point towards the wall, the

50:03

wall, and see. My

50:08

favorite color is purple. I

50:10

hope this blue stage and my passing

50:14

in won't be able to make all of this purple.

50:20

I don't know if that's something that

50:22

we're actually typically capable of or not,

50:24

but I think I'd

50:26

be pretty neat. So

50:31

can you tell her what you did

50:33

for work? Making

50:39

work in the clothing. She's

50:44

working in the area. Oh,

50:52

is it a double yes or a yes or no? Adam

50:58

Sosiplick? Adam

51:00

Sosiplick? Are

51:04

you speaking with Adam? One

51:13

other thing that's helpful is as

51:18

you're speaking to her, just make sure it's

51:20

one at a time. Because

51:23

if you all start speaking at the same

51:25

time, it can get very confusing. You

51:30

may be taking turns, but you're great. Plus...

51:46

I love you, and that's what I speak. I

51:53

learned it, but when you don't practice it, you don't

51:55

remember it. I'm

52:05

going to try communicating with you. I'm

52:08

going to be quiet. I'm

52:12

going to be off with you. I'm going to

52:15

be on the phone. I'm going to

52:17

be on

52:19

the phone. I'm

52:23

going to be on

52:26

the phone. I'm

52:28

going to

52:31

be on

52:33

the phone.

52:36

I'm going

52:42

to be on the phone. I know we're

52:45

feeling five or less spirits

52:47

in this right now. I'm

52:53

going to

52:56

be on

52:59

the phone.

53:02

I'm going to

53:05

be on the

53:08

phone. I'm

53:10

going to be on the

53:13

phone. I'm

53:24

going to be on the phone. I'm

53:28

going to be on the phone.

53:37

I'm going

53:40

to be on

53:43

the phone. I'm

53:47

going to be on the phone. I'm

53:54

going to Be on the phone.

54:20

How. Many

54:55

55:32

Something has com of. Families.

55:47

55:49

55:52

How high? The harsh? It

56:10

And we're. Sharing.

56:31

Love to go fishing. Is

56:35

a very decision. And. Angeles,

56:40

House. Committee

56:44

meeting in the morning decision.

56:52

Of had of were higher and higher and. Higher,

56:56

Nothing. Nothing. Less

57:10

57:57

Hi. Hello hello,

58:20

Oh. And

58:24

58:29

few people have. To

58:40

59:02

The owner can search data.

59:11

And were located. Right

59:19

after he saw anything

59:21

else. say they are

59:23

right. Now. Have

59:25

for her to. Feel.

59:43

Humor. Yes,

59:48

she's finity. Hanging

59:52

over my son, And. I.

59:54

Just started talking about how you are going to be

59:56

taken the month Nothing was ever seen. in

59:59

the beginning Although

1:00:07

that voice didn't sound like a child we

1:00:09

definitely got a yes to the question about

1:00:11

whether we had a child with us. I

1:00:13

thought it sounded more like a man but... Indeed.

1:00:16

There was flirting, killing with

1:00:18

hey baby and we definitely

1:00:20

got some Spanish. Yeah quite a

1:00:23

bit. Definitely had a Spanish-speaking ghost with us and

1:00:25

it was cool to get habla when you were

1:00:27

telling them that they needed to speak one at

1:00:29

a time. So it's almost like

1:00:31

well I'm gonna speak you know I'm talking. Right.

1:00:34

Also Kelly I love it after you

1:00:36

mentioned the snacks we got what sounded

1:00:38

like yocomo and you were hearing como

1:00:40

so you're thinking how? Right.

1:00:42

Rather than... Comer. It is the way

1:00:44

you would say I eat. I mean

1:00:46

comer is to eat but yocomo is

1:00:48

I eat in Spanish. Yes it is.

1:00:51

So I thought that was very cool.

1:00:53

Now after that we got an English

1:00:55

speaker and I said something else but

1:00:57

now I'm almost wondering if they were

1:00:59

referring to eating as well. Yeah it

1:01:01

definitely sounded like it. After

1:01:04

this our room was completely dead.

1:01:06

I see what you did there.

1:01:10

The lounge downstairs had ramped up with music

1:01:12

and frivolity and we figured the spirits

1:01:14

were bored with us old ladies. We

1:01:17

slept through the night without any issues. The

1:01:20

next morning we hit C's Country Diner at

1:01:22

413 South Woodland Boulevard

1:01:24

and it was excellent.

1:01:27

As you can hear the land is a

1:01:29

fun day trip and even overnighter. Are

1:01:32

these locations haunted? That

1:01:35

is for you to decide.

1:01:37

Well it was a great time and I

1:01:39

just love you know you go into these small

1:01:41

towns and you don't know anything about them and

1:01:43

then you dig into their history and I'm like

1:01:45

what a rich history in this town that is

1:01:48

an hour away from us. Yeah very much so.

1:01:50

We also did a live show just last weekend

1:01:53

at the Casa Dega Hotel which is right up

1:01:55

the road from the land. So when you go

1:01:57

to the land you can hit Casa Dega orange

1:02:00

cities there and it's very close to

1:02:02

Daytona Beach so it's just a great time.

1:02:05

And it's actually very close to Blue Springs

1:02:07

also which is gorgeous and if you're lucky

1:02:09

there are manatees. Yeah, at the right time

1:02:11

of year you might see manatees. We

1:03:46

It seems the land had a case of orange

1:03:48

fever. That's what they called this

1:03:50

fervor that overtook some people who purchased land

1:03:52

in Florida. Maybe you get it when you have

1:03:54

too much orange juice as well. Perhaps. I

1:03:57

got a fever and the only cure for it is
