Spirits of the Southern Dead 2025 Is a Wrap!

Good morning, everyone. What a truly wonderful weekend I had. Friday, Kevin and I headed to downtown Mobile for our last Spirits of the Southern Dead Haunted History Tour.
 
I completely admit, I would not do this without my supportive husband and sometimes co-writer, Kevin Bullock by my side. He not only keeps me from getting lost (in my own city, imagine that) but he keeps us all safe. Thank you, sweetheart for being such a good sport. It’s not every husband that can lace his wife up in an antebellum gown and load her hoop skirt in the SUV. The struggle was real but we fumbled through it and all three tours were a success. I not once fell and showed my pants. Hoo-rah!
 
Thank you also to my faithful ground crew, the Moonlight Society. A thankless job hanging out with me on these adventures but I am also happy to see you all. Thank you, Josie, Lori, Donna, Connie, Keri and Monica all our poor fellas that kindly tagged along. You guys make my job so much fun. It’s not actually a job, more of a spooky hobby.
 
Thank you to the guys at the Crescent Theater, Zeke especially for taking my phone call and agreeing to my hairbrained idea. We’ll be back with an investigation for you sir! What a jolly, yet spooky venue. We’d barely made it into the auditorium before our devices were going off. We’ll be back for more!
 
I saved my last thank you for the elegant Mr. Middlebrooks, a concierge at the Battle House Hotel. He kindly guided us through the Crystal Ballroom and regaled us with stories of troubled romances and lonely ghosts. At ninety-two years young, Mr. Middlebrooks is a Mobile treasure. I am currently working on an article about Mr. Middlebrooks, as a kind of getting to know you for all Mobilians. This gentleman should be celebrated for his love for this city and his amazing knowledge of its history.
 
To all the fans that attended and all those inquired, thank you for coming out and hearing my stories. Walking through the haunted streets of Mobile with you this year was a sheer joy. I count myself lucky to have had experienced it with you.
 
To all the ghosts, yes you. I see you.
 
We’ll be back.
 
I promise.
 
All my love,
Monica Leigh Bullock
