Why I Tell These Stories

Florida Unwritten was born from the backroads and blackwater trails of a state both celebrated and misunderstood. This is more than a blog—it’s a survival guide laced with folklore, humor, and sunbaked truth.

Founded by Earl Lee, a storyteller with mud on his boots and history in his bones, this site explores the mysteries and resilience that define Florida. From haunted lighthouses to alligator alleys, we blend practical wisdom with rich narrative to bring you stories that stick.

We believe that every community has a tale worth telling—and that sometimes, the best lessons come wrapped in moss, myth, or a headline that sounds too strange to be real.
