Ghost Hunting Housewives

Ghost Hunting Housewives - a dynamic duo of female investigators who are passionate about all things spooky and supernatural. We've been investigating for over two decades now, and we've loved every single minute of it.

Our friendship goes way back, and it was our shared interest in the spirits that brought us together in the first place. We started off investigating as a hobby, but soon realized that this was what we wanted to do. So, Ghost Hunting Housewives was born!

Crystal is our resident historian, military spouse, and genealogist. She brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our investigations and is always up for a good challenge. Carol, on the other hand, is the brains behind the paranormal equipment that we use on our investigations and sale to the public. Her technical know-how and innovative ideas have helped us to capture some truly amazing evidence over the years.

Together, we make an unstoppable team - always ready to tackle the next haunted location, and always eager to share our findings with others. https://www.facebook.com/ghosthuntinghousewives

The Spotted Whimsy

I am a watercolor and mixed-media artist born and raised in middle Tennessee. I graduated with a B.L.A. from Middle Tennessee State University in 2006. My work is heavily influenced by a deep spiritual passion for nature and often features a range of bold, vibrant colors illustrating the weird and whimsical.

For as long as I can remember, art has been in my soul. As a child, I was quiet and fiercely shy, but drawing, painting, and sculpting gave me a bold voice. Now, I want to share my voice and passions with the world. Even if that feels a bit scary sometimes.

In addition to watercolor works, real animal skulls and bone works are occasionally available. No animal was harmed by me! I'm a passionate animal activist. By creating beautiful, macabre pieces utilizing remains, I strive to honor each individual animal's spirit.

A healthy coping mechanism for my challenges with ADHD has been to create my own crochet patterns and plushes. While this may not be as fancy and thought provoking as my fine art pieces, I enjoy creating creepy little creatures bringing happiness to the world.

We will provide ghost-hunting and paranormal equipment, but feel free to bring your own!

Seville Quarter 130 E Government St Pensacola, FL 32502

Location's Haunted History: Seville Quarter has been sitting on Government Street since 1871 when the main building was the Pensacola Cigar and Tobacco Co. However, the business of this building hasn’t always been the most honorable. Being just a few blocks from the docks, Seville Quarter was a central part of Pensacola’s red light district, and the second floor of Seville may have been used for this purpose “off the books” even into the 1930s. On two separate occasions, strange women have been seen by Seville employees on the second floor. Then there is Seville Quarter’s resident ghost, Wesley Gibbs. Wesley was a bartender at Rosie’s in the early 1990s and after his shift one night went into the cooler to escape the heat. He suffered from a heart attack in the cooler and died at 27 years old. “About 15 years ago I was in Rosie O’Grady’s bathroom upstairs trying on Mardi Gras costumes when I felt someone in the room with me. I saw a woman wearing a white, puffed-sleeved dress. Eight years ago our graphic designer Ryan Little saw a woman wearing a velvet cape standing in front of her desk. She said she could see the transparent silhouette of the woman and the dust particles in the light. Wesley is our resident ghost. Since I’ve been working here for 10 years, he’s done things like turn radios and the copier in the hallway on. He’s very mischievous. I tell him to knock it off.” -Nancy Rodriguez, Administrative Assistant, Seville Quarter.
