From demonic deals at a legendary crossroads, to Civil War spirits not quite ready to surrender, and notorious outlaws who finally ran afoul of justice, the state of Mississippi has many strange adventures, folktales, and history ready for each and every wanderer. 

In our first episode, we visit the tale of the legendary blues man Robert Johnson who made a deal with the devil in the Delta. We journey to the haunted hills of the Vicksburg National Military Park, and take a train over to Meridian to check in on a notorious outlaw turned phantom keeper of a long abandoned bridge.
