Mysterious things happen in swamps.Maybe it's because they are often wet, shadowy places of wild beauty that few people dare to penetrate. They are havens for snakes, alligators, black bears, wildcats, and who knows what else.
People on the run have often hidden in swamps, while others have gotten lost in the watery expanses; the swamp can be a refuge or a nightmare.
Where else can you find a ghost baby, or an angry specter, or a lost soul? How about a ghost who is obsessed with the ghost orchid, or an alluring snake woman?
Author Doug Alderson will tell stories from his Spooky Stories from the Swamp: Tales from the Florida Back Country at the October Lunch & Learn at Goodwood Museum & Gardens.
These are family friendly spine-tingling tales that convey both Florida history and an appreciation for our great swamps.
Doug Alderson is a Florida naturalist and writer who drew upon many years of entertaining young people as a camp counselor and storyteller, and also from decades as a swamp explorer.
Who but a naturalist can really scare you about what lurks in the swamp?
Doug Alderson has been there and knows.
Copies of Alderson's book will be available for sale after the talk.
This is a brown-bag luncheon.
Attendees are encouraged to provide a $5 donation at the door.
