Named the 2nd spookiest graveyard in the nation, Glenwood Cemetery seems like a fitting place to kick off your road trip. The cemetery, which dates back to 1856, is the final resting place of one of Mississippi’s most notorious residents, the Witch of Yazoo. The story behind the spooky grave goes back decades and involves a scorned witch, returning from the dead to burn down the town of Yazoo - just as she vowed from her death bed. The day after the fire, residents visited the witch's grave, only to find the large chain, which had been wrapped around it, inexplicably broken into two.

Even though it's been years, the strange occurrences haven't stopped. A new gravestone mysteriously fell and broke in half, and the chain around the witch's grave is constantly in need of repairs. This local legend comes to life through tours, which must be scheduled in advance.

Continue your fright fest with a visit to McRaven, which according to The Travel Channel, is the creepiest place in Mississippi. That’s not its only claim to fame, though. It’s also been deemed the 3rd most haunted house in the country. Daily tours make visiting the historic haunt a breeze. Of course, you can always take things a step further and book a private ghost investigation.

Truly a work of art, this Madison chapel is often described as a "Gothic-style masterpiece." But the incredible architecture isn’t all the chapel is known for. The building itself, as well as the graveyard, have a reputation for being haunted by several apparitions, including that of Helen Johnstone, who is commonly seen sitting on the bench shown in this photo.

According to local lore, Helen was happily engaged to Henry, and the two were set to marry on May 21, 1859. Sadly, they never made it to the altar because Henry died in a duel just a few days before the wedding. Completely heartbroken, Helen attended the funeral in her wedding dress, then spent hours at Henry’s grave, sobbing and talking to his headstone.

Built over 100 years ago, this bridge is teeming with history. It’s also teeming with supernatural activity – so much so that it’s been named one of the "most terrifying places in America" by the Travel Channel. As the story goes, a murderous innkeeper, who was hanged on the bridge, haunts it to this day.

Of all the ghost stories, urban legends, and folklore associated with Mississippi, the legend of the Three-Legged Lady is by far one of the creepiest. According to legend, the Three-Legged Lady haunts Nash Road in Columbus. (Locals report that most sightings take place between 2661- 4548 Nash Road.) But she doesn’t just haunt the area; she torments drivers by chasing cars down the dark roadway.
