THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THE SOUTH'S bizarre history, obscure happenings, and inexplicable circumstances that have captivated people year after year. I've compiled some of the South's oldest hauntings and local legends that I could find in folklore and research. These may be real ghost stories, and they might just be scary legends of the South. There are plenty of famous Southern legends; however, I couldn't cover them all, as each one entails such extensive research, only to guarantee the reader a complete informative reading. Indulge in Mississippi's haunted history. Learn about times long past, and the hauntings that still linger to this day. From old plantations, angry slaves, and Indians..... to Civil war soldiers, cemeteries, and asylums. Is it only Southern folklore, and legends? Or does Mississippi's paranormal phenomenon hold some truth to these tales that have been told and retold, generation after generation?
