Welcome to Old South Moon - where cobblestone streets and Spanish moss lead to a destination where history and mystery intertwine, where every crumbling plantation house holds centuries of secrets, and where both well-worn tourist paths and hidden treasures await the curious traveler. Pack your walking shoes, your appetite for local flavors, your camera, and perhaps even your EMF meter (if you're so inclined). The South's most fascinating stories - both the historical and the haunted - are waiting to be discovered.
Southern Destinations
Every post includes essential travel information - from boutique hotel recommendations to hidden local eateries (because no Southern journey is complete without proper dining), seasonal events, and insider tips on the best times to visit. But I dig deeper than standard travel blogs, peeling back layers of Southern history - the tragic, the triumphant, and everything in between. I explore architectural preservation, generational traditions, and the ways communities keep their history alive through storytelling.
Haunted Travel
This blog marries practical travel advice with deep historical exploration and a dash of the supernatural. You'll find detailed guides to acclaimed destinations like St. Augustine Florida and the voodoo-steeped streets of New Orleans' French Quarter, alongside discoveries of lesser-known gems - family-owned B&Bs in antebellum mansions, small-town restaurants housed in former boarding houses, and historic inns where the past refuses to stay silent.
