MADAME LEOTA INSIDE THE HAUNTED MANSION AT THE MAGIC KINGDOM

MADAME LEOTA  the disembodied medium who's head floats inside a crystal ball in the Séance room at the Haunted Mansion in Walt Disney Worlds Magic Kingdom was modeled after Disney Imagineer Leota Toombs.( how great is that name).

Musical instruments and furniture levitate and make noises in response to Madame Leotas incantations.

Sadly she passed away in December 1991.
In 2002 a tombstone for Madame Leota debuted at the Disney World Mansion.
The epitaph reads
Dear sweet Leota, beloved
by all. In regions beyond now, but having a ball.
Her famous incantation goes like this.

“Serpents and spiders, tail of a rat; call in the spirits, wherever they're at. Rap on a table; it's time to respond. Send us a message from somewhere beyond. Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween: awaken the spirits with your tambourine. Creepies and crawlies, toads in a pond; let there be music, from regions beyond! Wizards and witches, wherever you dwell, give us a hint, by ringing a bell!”

―Madame Leota's incantation

Enjoy!

Blessings to all
