The Story Behind These Haunted Ruins In Mississippi Is Truly Creepy
Haunted and historic often go hand in hand – and that’s definitely the case with the Windsor Ruins. One of the state’s most sought after sites, the ruins are frequented by locals and tourists alike. However, unbeknownst to many, it’s not only the living roaming the grounds of the famous ruins. Take a look:





According to local lore, the property is haunted by the ghost of a Union shoulder who was killed in the doorway of Windsor during the Civil War. Smith Coffee Daniell II, Windsor’s owner, is also said to haunt the grounds. According to one report, a visitor saw a man in period clothing, assumed it was a re-enactor, and approached to ask some questions about Windsor. However, as he got close, the “re-enactor” turned toward the man, smiled, and faded away.
The strange happenings don’t end there, though. It’s said that on some nights, sounds of a long-ago party can be heard.
