23: Ghosts, Graveyards, Cryptids & Bigfoot Conspiracies with Jason Tapp of Spooky Charlotte

EPISODE 23: Ghosts, Graveyards, Cryptids & Bigfoot Conspiracies with Jason Tapp of Spooky Charlotte 👻

In this episode of Dark Florida, I sit down with Jason Tapp, the man behind Spooky Charlotte. To explore the eerie intersections of haunted history, conservation, and cryptid folklore.

Jason shares his work restoring old cemeteries and preserving forgotten pieces of Charlotte’s past, but the conversation quickly takes a turn into the paranormal. He makes some bold claims about the infamous Patterson-Gimlin footage. The legendary Bigfoot video filmed at Bluff Creek. According to Jason, the whole event may have been staged… and he believes the Bigfoot costume was created by none other than Charlotte’s own showman, Phillip Morris. Even more chilling? He says he got that information directly from Phillip Morris’s ghost. 👀

We also dive into the legend of Normie, the creature said to haunt the waters of Lake Norman. With a serpent-like body and the head of a horse, this cryptid may have ties to the Catawba tribe and the region’s deeper spiritual history. 🐉

And if that wasn’t enough, we also talk about a terrifying shapeshifter lurking in the shadows of Charlotte—a hybrid creature with the body of a panther and the wings and head of an owl. 🦉

Ghosts, conspiracies, cryptids, and forgotten graves—we cover it all in this one.
