Bunnie Xo’s Spooky New ‘Hobby’ Involves Talking to the Dead

Bunnie Xo’s Spooky New ‘Hobby’ Involves Talking to the Dead

Podcaster, country superstar wife and … ghost hunter? Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo are currently out on the road for his tour, and on their off days, she’s picked up a surprising new hobby.

During some down time in El Paso, Texas, Bunnie and her team visited the city’s historic Concordia Cemetery, which is rumored to be one of the most haunted burial spots in the state.

They didn’t just come to see the sights: Bunnie and crew were hoping for some one-on-one chats with the dead, and they brought along a “spirit box” app to help translate the spirits’ messages from beyond the grave. In the spooky video clip, the singer’s wife and her friends move from tombstone to tombstone, holding their phones out to receive messages.

As they move around the cemetery, the app picks up words like “grandfather,” “sacrifice” and “assault.” Some of the spirits seem to wish to identify their cause of death, while others — like an unmarked grave that gives off the reading “Norman” — seem to simply want to identify themselves.

“I think we found a new hobby,” Bunnie writes in the caption of her post.

Dating back to the mid-1800s, Concordia Cemetery is the final resting place of some 60-65,000 people, according to its website. Civil War veterans, Buffalo Soldiers, Texas Rangers and early Mormon pioneers are all buried at the graveyard, as well as famous gunfighter and outlaw John Wesley Hardin.

Jelly and Bunnie were in El Paso this week for a stop on the singer’s 2024 Beautifully Broken Tour, which is scheduled to continue through October.
