Coast Life: Legend of the “Phantom Barber of Pascagoula”
SUMMARY: Leading up to Halloween, Pascagoula‘s ghost story of the “Phantom Barber” remains unexplained after over 80 years. In 1942, during World War II, a man broke into homes and cut the hair of sleeping girls, instilling fear in the community. One suspect, William Dolan, was convicted of attacking a couple, yet his connection to the hair incidents was ambiguous. Artist Steven Butler and his daughter aim to revive this legend through a creative comic titled “The Phantom Barber of Pascagoula,” showcasing the folklore’s vibrant narrative. The comic will debut at ScareCon in Vicksburg and Three Alarm Comics on November 16th.
In Pascagoula, the legend of the “Phantom Barber” still hasn’t fully been explained more than 80 years after it happened.
