To reply to what BE4U said before, there is an old unused hospital in houlka...
Now for a couple of Mississippi's Ghost Stories....(recommended reading 13 ghosts of mississippi and its sequel)
The first is about an abandoned church that is about 5 minutes away from my house:(I have no personal experience with it because that kind of shit freaks me out so all of this is hearsay)
First I need to tell you about where I live. Houston, MS is a town of about 3,000 on a good day, pretty much all Protestant Christian and about 70 percent black. The community where this takes place is Thorn, where the agriculture from Houston is located, the population is probably 95% white, 4% hispanic (farm workers), and 1% black. This place pushes the term redneck to the max. Most of the people who live out there live in mobile homes, and are borderline white trash, but still mostly Christian.
Now on to the story, there is an old Baptist church in Thorn that is supposedly haunted. Sometime during the first half of the century, the building was abandoned and fell into disrepair. No one entered the building for decades, and the door was never seen open. I guess one day somebody decided to enter it (probably some young person on a dare) and after prying the door open found evidence that Satanic worship was going on in the church. Evidently books pertaining to it and symbols etched into the walls had gotten in there some way. Anyway, the people who go in this church say that upon entering a weird feeling seems to overcome them, most likely fear, and they begin to hear strange noises. One person I talked to claimed to have heard several voices chanting different incantations or talking in tongues and a "singing" voice. As I've said I have no personal experience with this, but I do believe something out of the ordinary has happened at the church. I cannot explain what but I have the feeling that something is wrong and I get an eery feeling every time I see the church, it just feels like ice running through my veins whenever i see it. (P.S. this story has nothing to do with my religion at all, and though i am a christian i realize everybody has their own take on life and no amount of discussion will lead them otherwise, so i guess im saying i dont want to spur a big discussion or any contreversy...)
