As is the case with many small towns, local lore about Waynesboro’s history has been passed down from generation to generation. One of the most popular stories is centered around a haunted road in Mississippi with a dark past that has come to be known as Devil Worshiper Road. It’s really called Waynesboro Shubuta Road… but we almost kind of like Devil Worshiper Road more. It’s a lot spookier!
