In 1862, the War Between the States came to Mississippi where it would leave an indelible mark for generations to come.

Of all Mississippi cities it is Vicksburg that has earned the reputation as the Most Haunted City. Through the long, hot summer of 1863, the attention of a divided nation remained fixed on this infamous city, holding its own against the Siege of Vicksburg and the Union soldiers under the command of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. The great city finally fell on July 4th, and the national holiday continues to be ignored by Vicksburg to this day. Spirits of the dead, both North and South, continue to be seen throughout the streets and in the fields around Vicksburg, and sometimes the sound of marching feet can still be heard in the humid Southern night.
