steeped in history and ghostly legends. Established in 1822, this historic
cemetery is famed for its elaborate tombstones and the ghostly legends said to wander
among them. Visitors report eerie occurrences, such as sudden drops in
temperature and ghostly apparitions.
In Vicksburg, McRaven House is known
as the ‘Most Haunted House in Mississippi’, and is a must-visit for ghost
enthusiasts. Built in 1797, this historic home is known for its chilling
atmosphere and spectral inhabitants. The house offers guided tours that tell strange
stories about past residents, including a pioneer pirate, a young bride who met
a tragic fate, and the mysterious spinster sisters who still wander its halls.
For those seeking a haunted stay, Jackson’s Fairview Inn has
had guests report numerous strange occurrences, including unexplained voices, sudden

inn owners, the spirits are not malevolent and appear to be fond of dogs. Mississippi
is also home to the enduring legend of the Witch of Yazoo, a tale
that still sparks curiosity and chills today.
