a.k.a. - Who Are These People?


Spirits of...team with John Zaffis in the Phoenix Mid-City Hotel

The Spirits of...Tours historic Bloomington haunted tour was created in the winter of 2007. The original tour manuscript took over three months to write, using over fifty references and countless personal interviews. We wanted to create an accurate account of Bloomington history while revealing fascinating tales, myths and paranormal accounts of the area.

Chis Hotz (Abraham Lincoln/Franky) and his wife Rose (graphic designer) have lived in the Bloomington area since 2006. They are the owners and innkeepers of the Davis Rose Inn Bed & Breakfast.

Tom Senger (Retail/Tour Operations) and his wife Deborah (Mary Todd Lincoln/Sally) are recent transplants to the area. Deborah is an Historic & Spiritual Medium, Certified Paranormal Investigator and Parapsychologist. She balances her serious metaphysical practice with the lightness and discovery of the Spirits of Bloomington Tours.
 

Together, Chris, Deborah, Rose and Tom created the Abe on 66 Gift Store & the Spirits of Bloomington Tours. Their love for the town of Bloomington, the history that is Bloomington and their desire to encourage new tourist and fun activities in the historic downtown is what drives the success of this unique team. 

We welcome you to the Spirits of...Tours and hope you will enjoy our walking tours. Our goal is to integrate the historical aspects, paranormal activity and myths of Bloomington, Lincoln IL and other Central Illinois communities to provide an entertaining evening for all. 



"The stories they tell are for the most part entertaining and always informative. They really do an excellent job of promoting the area and its history as well as its ties to Lincoln. I was on the adults only tour, so I got a little bit of the juicier information the earlier tours don't get. If you don't have kids, I definitely recommend this night tour. A ghost walk in the light just wouldn't feel right to me, but please be careful as a few of the areas you'll be walking are poorly lit. The guides were occasionally hard to hear either when being interrupted by the roar of motorcycles or when being quiet was a necessity of location. The hard of hearing should be prepared to stick close to the guide speaking.

I did not know or think to bring a camera with me. The people on the tour with digital cameras were picking up a lot of activity in the way of light orbs, which can be seen below. The tour was a lot of fun, and it's something new and different to do on a Saturday night. Luckily for us, the weather was gorgeous and the bugs aren't awful yet. I recommend going soon and taking a camera!"
