[@paulainsc8212]

I’ve been there several times in the 70’s…80’s. Fascinating.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

I totally agree! Old Florida at its best. Thanks for watching!

[@bobblickley3661]

I've seen plenty of vlogs about Cassadaga, but they always focus on the Devil's Chair, the Fairy Park, or the haunted hotel. You, however, highlighted some real hidden gems. Great video as always!

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thank you so much! I really wanted to showcase a different side of Cassadaga and highlight some of the hidden gems that often get overlooked. I’m glad you enjoyed it, your support means a lot! 😊

I have never heard of this part of Florida before and I don't know why where how did I miss it however it's interesting what the above respondent was referring to can you please cover those grounds

I like these vlogs, and I wish you would include a quick thumbnail map showing where the towns are located in the state. When viewers have never heard of the place it is nice to get an idea of the location before we hear all the info. Keep up the good work!

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

I’ll definitely start including those thumbnail maps! I actually started doing it in my last vlog about Astor, Florida. I forgot to ad it in this one. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for watching!

[@bethrichards2640]

Sorry you got heckled. You handled it as gracefully as possible. Another great video. Love the stats & history you include, as well as the drive arounds. The blue houses are supposed to be "Haint Blue." There is a particular shade, but I guess they are going with any shade that resembles the sky. It's supposed to keep the spirits away. I've always seen it on porch ceilings. It's supposed to confuse the spirits, somehow.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thanks for sharing the information about the blue houses! That's a really interesting tidbit about the history of Cassadaga. Thanks for watching!

[@Lindalu0422]

When I was a little girl growing up in the south I learned that porch ceilings were painted blue to fool birds and insects into thinking it was the sky, to keep them from building nests and cobwebs there. Haint blue, a more saturated blue and less like the sky, was something some folk painted their houses or around their doors and windows to keep evil spirits out.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

@@Lindalu0422 Oh Okay! Thanks for sharing that.

[@tiffanyanderson7320]

😮 I had no idea there was a town in Florida known as the Psychic Capital of the World! Thanks for the video, super informative as always.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Glad you found it informative. Thanks for watching!

[@charlottegibson9992]

No matter where you go there is a Karen. You did well. Thank you for the adventure. 😊

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

There are unfortunately a few Karens everywhere, but it's important to remember that most people aren't like that. I thank you for tuning in.

[@Which-Craft]

Was just there in October. Have always loved the town.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

I love that it still retains that old Florida charm! Thanks for watching!

[@MrFroglips69]

Groovy episode. The town goes from old, broken down houses, to well maintained antique homes. In between older track style homes, perhaps originally built for workers. Some of the locals seem somewhat protective of their town.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

There's nothing wrong with being protective over your property, not the public. It's important to know the law before approaching tourists or others to tell them what they can and cannot do, it could lead to serious consequences like a crime or even a lawsuit. This is why we have Law enforcement. Glade to hear you like the video, thanks for watching.

[@multiplemyelomajourneyofjo6506]

You were trespassing. That dirt road you went down when you said let me get out of here. That was her PRIVATE road. You broke the rules and didn't stay on the public street. She was going home when she seen you coming out of her property. She wanted to know who the hell you were. It was your fault and you need to erase the video and make it right. ​@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

@@multiplemyelomajourneyofjo6506 If it has a street sign, I don’t care if it’s paved or a dirt road, it’s still registered as a street. If it were a private road, there should be a sign clearly stating “private road”, “no trespassing.” You people in Cassadaga need to educate yourselves on the law.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

@@multiplemyelomajourneyofjo6506 So, there are 3 houses on that street, right? How did she even know if I wasn’t coming from one of those homes? Also, she shares that street with others, whether it’s a dirt road or a paved road, it’s still a public street for everyone. I drove down the road, turned around, and left. Trespassing only happens when you're on someone’s property, knowingly, and after being told to leave either by a sign or someone directly informing you. There were no signs, and no one told me anything. So, legally, I wasn’t trespassing on that dirt road. You sound ridiculous.

[@JohnnieScott-u7k]

Wow... Now that was a first😮

Loved the video! After reading some of the comments from certain individuals, I’ve decided I’ll never visit this so called spiritual town. The people commenting from there sound downright evil.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

There are always a few bad apples in every town. Don't let these two individuals give you the impression that everyone is like them. I've been there several times and have met many kind people.

[@chaunceyrickard231]

They are

[@sarahmoller9716]

I really enjoy your videos so much. Hope you don't let the Karen's of the world hold you back from what you are doing. When you ask if WE want you to stay in the hotel and video any activities, I decided to vote against you doing that. 😊. I love your jacket. Very cool. You just keep on singing about the Smurfs and I'll keep on smiling. Stay safe. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family. God Bless young man!!!.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

I truly appreciate that, and thank you for sharing your opinion on staying or not at that Hotel. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season!

[@mtngrl5859]

Very cool video-- are there only 66 people in town or 66 homes, wasn't sure if I heard that correctly. It has a vibe that I really like-kind of a decaying Southern Gothic. I like the juxtaposition of well kept homes & homes left to ruin. What is the closest "bigger town" for shopping & dining? Btw, love the yellow home with the bright purple door.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

The village of Cassadaga has a reported population of just 66 people according to census and local government records. However, there are many homes and residents near the borders of Cassadaga. The closest towns are Orange City and Deltona, Florida. Thanks for watching!

[@EricMuhammed-i8t]

As You drove around Town I actually got Deja-Vu just by looking at some of the buildings it's almost as if I been their before, but I don't really know because when I was A little Boy mad Dad was A Truck Driver and I used to ride with A lot as A little Boy in the late 70's & early 80's but I became A Teenager in the early 80's ...

[@EricMuhammed-i8t]

So I could have really actually been their because I use to ride All over Florida with My Dad when He was A Truck Driver, Miami was the only place I didn't go while riding with Him ...

[@confidentminaj]

The Karen at the beginning saying your in church property..Sounding ridiculous as she looked 😂😂

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

😂 Exactly! She saw a Black man driving around recording, panicked, and came after me, completely unaware that I know my rights.

[@SmallTownRaised]

I'm pretty sure the same Karen came after me and my friend in April '24 saying the same thing, and we're both white. I said "Thanks, but my tax $$$ paid for the paving and maintenance on this road, and I'll keep on keepin' on." She's just an all-around grumpy Karen. Great video, BTW, @TIMJMEANSBUSINESS !

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

​@@SmallTownRaised Sorry to hear you had the same experience I did. Thank you for standing up for your rights. Hopefully, hearing it from both of us will make her reconsider targeting people who are simply exercising their First Amendment rights. Thanks for watching!

[@heidik-lady8135]

Similar to Micanopy, the vibe in these little towns is creepy, pretty but creepy. They don't like outsiders but they like their money.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

I noticed that during this visit as well. I’ve never had any issues in Cassadaga before, but this time was different. Thanks for tuning in!

[@JohnRosado-n8t]

are creepy ....

[@DependsWhatDay]

Wrong. We can do without your money too. Don’t flatter yourself.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

@@DependsWhatDay Every town relies on revenue to function. If people stopped visiting and spending money in Cassadaga, FL, it would harm local businesses and the economy. Without that support, the town itself could struggle to survive.

[@DependsWhatDay]

@@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS nobody wants money bad enough to tolerate name calling. You can defend this rude commentary all you want. Did you ever stop to think this is why some detest outsiders? Maybe they think y'all are creepy.

[@multiplemyelomajourneyofjo6506]

You did not film Cassadaga until 18 minutes in. You filmed Lake Helen. None of those houses have anything to do with the religion of Spiritualism or George Colby. The woman you call "Karen" is pissed because you went on her private property. You know that road that wasn't concrete? The one you said im going to get out of here now? Yeah that was her private road, not public, and you were trespassing. Not to mention sharing her face without permission. You should erase this video, it is not fact and you got all your info wrong. Schedule with the PR committee to get it right and do a proper interview. NONE of those houses have anything to do with Cassadaga for the first 18 minutes.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

I don’t need her permission. I can film anyone in public. If she didn’t want to be recorded, she shouldn’t have approached me. Learn the law. For your trespassing claims. If it has a street sign, I don’t care if it’s paved or a dirt road, it’s still registered as a street. If it were a private road, there should be a sign clearly stating “private road”, “no trespassing.” Keep out! You people in Cassadaga need to educate yourselves on the law. As for her approach, I don’t think she was nice, she was condescending. She should have approached me with respect instead of being so demanding. I came there to film the town like I do all around the United States. I’ll be reaching out to the county to see if I can have a sheriff officer patrol that area more. Because you guys don’t NO THE LAW. Someone needs to train your town representatives on the law. Further more I don’t have to schedule anything with NO ONE to come film any town here in America.

@@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS I work in law enforcement, and Tim, you’re absolutely correct! When filming in public, you don’t need anyone’s permission. Plus, she’s the one who approached you. Some of these Karens white women always think they can tell you what you can and can’t do. She’s just another Karen trying to boss you around, demanding you take down your video. Lady, go kick rocks.

[@brittanychandler5884]

@@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS In the video, the lady didn’t say anything about him trespassing or driving down her dirt road. She clearly said he couldn’t film because the village is church property. Now it’s suddenly about trespassing? Lady, get out of here. Tim J, don’t take down your video for these people.
