TW: murder, suicide, extreme racial violence

Mississippi’s history whispers through shadows and time. From pre-war mansions where footsteps still echo long after midnight, to forgotten cemeteries where the air feels heavy with memories, there’s a lot to discuss about this state. The grounds have been soaked with blood, the cities chatter with chilling ghost stories, and its’ even said there are enigmatic creatures lingering beneath the Spanish moss and river mist.

Today’s episode is all about the haunting history and locations of Mississippi.
