"Rap on a table, it's time to respond. Send us a message from somewhere beyond."
Lovely Madame Leota was a traveling Psychic and Astrologist in these parts, taking her colorful gypsy wagon from town to town and peddling her parlor tricks to the unsuspecting locals.
"Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween, awaken the spirits with your tambourine."
Like a medicine man or witch doctor, Leota would drum up business by offering to conduct seances, read palms or gaze into her crystal ball.
"Creepies and crawlies, toads in a pond, let there be music from regions beyond."
For a price, Leota could even be convinced to cast a spell, cook up a potion or part with one of her treasures acquired from the furthest corners of the globe.
"Serpents and spiders, tail of a rat, call in the spirits wherever they're at."
No one quite knows what happened to Leota. One day, she pulled her wagon up to ol' Gracey Manor and stepped inside, never to be seen again... at least not in human form. Her disembodied head now floats within her very own crystal ball, eternally reciting incantations, calling forth the spirits to join the afterlife celebration within the Haunted Mansion.
As for Leota's wagon... it's been commandeered by opportunistic entrepreneurs, selling assorted paraphernalia to curious passersby.
