Did You Know These Miami Spots Were Haunted?
Descripción del Episodio
Miami’s most haunted places, spooky legends, and true ghost stories—right in our backyard. In this Halloween special of Cafecito y Croquetas, we explore haunted Miami: the infamous Villa Paula (Little Haiti), the Biltmore Hotel (Coral Gables) and its 13th-floor myth, the historic Miami City Cemetery (1897), plus a nod to the Dering Estate burial mounds. We compare top Halloween candies (Reese’s vs. Kit Kat vs. Skittles), touch on Día de los Muertos traditions, and react live to breaking Miami Dolphins news mid-episode. If you love Miami history, ghost tours, and South Florida culture—with cafecito in hand—this one’s for you.
What you’ll learn / Why watch:
The real history and urban legends behind Villa Paula (coffee aroma, piano music, and the “one-legged woman” lore)
Why the Biltmore Hotel is considered one of the most haunted hotels in Florida (13th-floor superstition, “Fatty Walsh” stories)
The background of the Miami City Cemetery, including military sections and pioneer graves
A quick look at the Dering Estate and Native burial mounds often mentioned on Miami ghost tours
Halloween candy power rankings (yes, we debate Reese’s supremacy)
A quick primer on Día de los Muertos and how it differs from Halloween
A live reaction to Miami Dolphins front office news that dropped during recording (we point you to our sports pod for the full breakdown)
