Baxterville : Myrtle Grove Cemetery
Occurrences of people walking through the cemetery when no one is there. Feelings of dread
when you are in or outside of the cemetery at night. Strange occurrences at homes that surround
the cemetery. Graves at the cemetary date back to the mid 1800's.
Biloxi : Former Biloxi Regional Hospital
When an active hospital, dying patients would see young girls at the end of their beds. One
time there was a sighting of a tall, white ghost pass through the dispatcher area, which became
extremely cold. Locked doors can be heard opening and slamming shut during the night.
Biloxi : Keesler Air Force Base (334th Training Squadron)
The 334th training squadron has a haunted wing. A young airman hung himself during
training in the wing. Now strange things happen in the wings surrounding that wing. The wing
was closed for a year but then an overflow of students came and the wing was reopened. It was
part of the male dormitories. All that had gone down that hall said that the lights flickered and it
was very cold. The room was located at the end of the hall next to the window and on the right.
The bed it happened in was on the right. The two male airmen that were assigned that room was
not informed of what happened. Strange things started happening to the one in the right bed. He
almost became possessed by this spirit. The airmen in the left bed once woke up with his
roommate standing over him. Another night he awoke because he could not breath and found
that his covers were wrapped around his neck. He went to the red rope for help, and shortly after
the wing was once again shut down. The Chaplin came in and performed an exorcism. Then
about a year to two years later the dormitory was torn down.

Biloxi : Keesler Air Force Base (338th Training Squadron)
The 338 training squadron still resides in original quarters and there were 3 spirits in the
female wings alone. One was an angry man of about 27 or 28 who didn't know why females
where there and wanted them all out of "him air force". This was an uncomfortable presence that
would just sit three or four yards (sometimes halfway up the stairs while you were guarding the
entrance) and concentrate loathing on you, also he would mess with the tuning on your radio.
Also there was a boy named Jeremy who was 18. He was a sweet kid who would check on
everyone in the evenings and make sure everyone was alright. He also would play pranks like
opening windows at night and dropping things inside locked wall lockers when you are across
the room. One soldier learned he missed his mother, he went through the school in 1967 and
although he knew he had died of shrapnel wounds, he would often worry about going to 'Nam
"tomorrow". Jeremy, for the record was very polite in that if you were studying with your door
closed he would continue down the hall. He seems to need the encouragement of an open door
for an invite to interrupt any study hall sessions.

Houston : Asbury Cemetery
Asbury Cemetery is located way back on a dirt road, down in a valley between some hills. It's
a really pretty place, and I have been to more than one funeral there. But it's also a place where
people like to park and stargaze. On several occasions, people have described a low voice
talking, or an overwhelming, almost gut-wrenching feeling that something is watching them or
something is after them. More than one serious accident has occurred from people driving from it
at night as fast as they can. A witness involved in a wreck reports: "A group of us were out there
just hanging out when everyone in our group, which consisted of about 10 people, all stopped
talking in mid-sentence and felt a horrible sense of dread. We ran to our vehicles and everyone
flew from there. I'm a biologist with a minor in Physics; I don't believe in "ghosts". On top of
that, my father is a minister, and I have strong convictions against ghosts. Naturally, I thought it
was just a change in the wind, sudden drop in pressure, etc., so I went back one night with a girl I
was dating and a friend. We were sitting in the car talking when I felt a horrible feeling that
someone was right on me. At the same time the girl I was with began to scream and tell me to get
out of here, start the car! We flew out of there at full speed and kept speeding down the narrow
two-lane road that led to it. Even though we had left the area and were a half mile away, she
continued to look out the back window and say that someone is coming, and our friend was
saying "go, man, go! Don't slow down!" I felt it too, and turned to look out the back window to
see what it was; I lost control on the dirt road and my car went down a steep hill into some trees.
We were at the bottom of this hill and all any of us could do was yell excitedly in fear at what
might be out there. To this day, neither I nor any of my many friends who used to go out there
will even turn down the road that leads to it at night. Not from what I said, but because they were
there and I have felt it, too. "
J.S. : Sauls Valley Cemetery
Sometimes at night lights come out of the grave, and dance around. If you are in the cemetery
when it comes out they will dance around you, but if you are just entering it when they are
already out they will force or scare you out.

This building was used as the state capitol from 1839-1903, and is now a museum open to the
public. At one time during the 1800's, a legislator died from a heart attack in his office, and
slumped from his desk, hitting the floor. To this day, sometimes around 5:15 in the afternoon, a
thud is heard coming from that office. Security officers have also reported hearing doors
slamming and hammering in the night.
