About the author
Elizabeth Parker is a Mobile, Alabama native whose two listed titles both appear under the name Haunted Mobile: Apparitions of the Azalea City (History Press, 2009), a collection that consolidates material she had earlier published as Mobile Ghosts: Alabama's Haunted Port City and Mobile Ghosts II: The Waterline into one updated volume. The book works through local hauntings tied to the city's history, folding folklore, oral tradition and place-based legend into a single narrative. It sits within the spiritualism and folk-magic shelves of regional ghost-story writing, aimed at readers interested in Southern hauntings, local history and the kind of place-specific lore that guides and walking tours draw on. Parker's focus stays on Mobile itself rather than on broader occult theory, making her book useful as a compact regional reference for readers curious about the city's reputed hauntings and the stories long attached to its streets and buildings.
