161: The Lost People of Lake Okeechobee, FL

On this episode of Common Mystics, Jen and Jill uncover the haunting history of the Mayaimi, a nearly forgotten Indigenous people who once inhabited the mysterious wetlands surrounding Florida’s Lake Okeechobee. What begins with psychic impressions of ancient settlements, tribal violence, and a phantom presence leads the sisters into one of the darkest and least-known chapters of early American history. As European powers battled for control of Florida, armed slave raiders swept through Native communities, leaving devastation, captivity, and displacement in their wake. But the Mayaimi story takes an unexpected turn when historical records reveal that these supposedly vanished people may have survived far longer than anyone imagined.

What really happened to the Mayaimi, and how does an entire people seemingly disappear from history? Join Jen and Jill for a chilling journey into a forgotten world where the truth is far more complicated—and heartbreaking—than the history books suggest.
