About the author

This is Elizabeth^^^^Parker, where ^=space.

Since I was a little kid I knew ghosts were real, because I could see and sometimes hear them. And they scared me. I wanted nothing so much as to find a ghost, but at the same time I was afraid I would!

I didn't realize then that I'd be chasing ghosts, to one degree or another, all my life. Now I know that I'm drawn to ghosts because I want to tell their stories, and the stories of the people who encounter them.

I am a native Mobilian, and have lived here all my life. We have a family business and I write for it, too, as well as volunteer projects. I am always seeking new true stories of local hauntings.

My Mobile Ghosts series of books have gone from traditional paper publishing onto to the internet because it is so much quicker and easier to share the stories, and what a lifetime of studying ghosts has taught me.

I love me some great ghost stories. I am a retired phlebotomist and would drive the last three years before I retired to Mobile , Fairhope, Bay Minot to name a few. In Mobile I'm sure I've passed a few of these buildings and not realized that it held so much history and ghosts. 😱💀👻
Thank you for a good bit of history and ghost stories to go with it.

Insider's Look At Hauntings

Very well written and downright enjoyable stories to read about these regional ghosts. Also where possible, by the owners of haunted properties, the history is added.

Good stories

Thanks Elizabeth for a well told and researched book. While I've never been to Mobile the stories made me feel as though I had been. I even want to try to investigate some of these locations now.
