Haunts of Richmond

Ybor City’s Haunted History - Ybor City was built by immigrants, shaped by cigar factories, scarred by fire, and later pulled into Tampa’s Prohibition-era underworld. Today, its ghost stories feel less like isolated legends and more like echoes from an entire neighborhood.

The Dark Legend of El Coco - “Sleep child, sleep now… El Coco is coming.”
One of the oldest and most widespread legends in the Spanish-speaking world tells of a creature that waits in the darkness for misbehaving children. But a real crime in Spain would forever blur the line between folklore and reality.
Filmed in Bilbao, Spain.

Haunted Spain: Ghosts, Lore & The Shadows of History

06/01/2026

Not every legend is a ghost story.
While visiting the Basque Country, I found myself drawn to the ancient stories of Mari, the mysterious Lady of Anboto. According to legend, she lived among the mountains, controlled the weather, rewarded honesty, and punished those who broke their word.
Standing beneath the peaks where these stories were born, it’s easy to understand why the legend has endured for generations.
Have you ever visited a place where the local folklore felt woven into the landscape itself?

A revolutionary. An exile. A scandalous mistress. And according to legend, the ghost still haunting the Frederic Re*****on Museum in Ogdensburg, New York.
