Why is Vicksburg so Haunted?
There’s Something in the Basement
Drenched in the Civil War past, the Old Court House Museum is teeming with a variety of both benevolent and foreboding spirits. Visit this ominous site with Vicksburg Ghosts to uncover eerie reports of Confederate apparitions and their horrid disembodied cries.
Before becoming a museum, the Old Court House withstood a perilous history. Bludgeoned by natural disasters, battered by heavy shelling amidst the Siege of Vicksburg, and confronted by near demolishment, this historic site has stood the test of time. This storied history is not surprising, given the many sightings inside this location.
In the basement, guests have reported a resounding feeling of dread and despair, with some claiming invisible hands grabbing them. Are these occurrences caused by dying soldiers reaching out for comfort, or could something more sinister be residing in this chamber? Learn these chilling facts and more with Vicksburg Ghosts.
Vicksburg’s Most Haunted
Formerly known as Yesterday’s Children Antique Doll & Toy Museum, the former doll museum has spurred many whispers since its closure. Previously visited by Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures, row after row of dolls once stared out, their tiny, unblinking gazes leaving a haunting impression.

Then there’s the Blue Room, where Robert Johnson is said to have made a deal with the devil. How did an average guitarist become a virtuoso overnight after rumors of visiting some crossroads? And what price did Robert Johnson ultimately pay? His eerie songs, otherworldly guitar work, and early and mysterious death will keep this mystery alive far longer than Robert ever played his haunting tunes.
