Are there any other abandoned places in Mississippi?
Surprisingly, Kuhn State Memorial Hospital isn’t the only abandoned hospital in Mississippi. South Mississippi Charity Hospital in Laurel is also among the abandoned places in Mississippi. It opened in 1917 and closed in 1989, after 72 years of service. Abandoned and practically destroyed by a fire, it’s just a shell of the state-of-the-art facility it once was. Not surprisingly, it’s garnered an eerie reputation over the years as one of the creepiest abandoned places in Mississippi. It’s believed to be haunted by the ghosts of two young girls, one of whom died in the hospital when she was accidentally given too much anesthesia.
What are some other creepy places in Mississippi?
When it comes to creepy places in Mississippi, City Cemetery in Kosciusko definitely fits the bill. It’s not actually the cemetery that’s creepy, but a specific statue within the cemetery. The statue of Laura Kelly was commissioned in the late 1800s, by Mr. Kelly, Laura’s husband. Extremely distraught over his wife’s death, he wanted a statue in her likeness. He then added a third floor to his home, which wasn’t far from the cemetery, so that he could view the statue of his beloved. Over the years, visitors to the cemetery have claimed that the statue of Laura Kelly appears to be weeping. Click here for directions to the cemetery, so you can see the infamous statue for yourself.
