    King's Tavern

    NatchezUnited States1769–present

    Built in 1769, King's Tavern is widely recognized as the oldest standing building in Natchez, Mississippi. Situated near the historic terminus of the Natchez Trace, this iconic frontier structure served as a vital inn, mail station, and tavern for travelers, riverboatmen, and pioneers in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Infamous for a grisly 1930s discovery of human remains and a jeweled dagger concealed behind an interior chimney wall, King's Tavern is celebrated throughout Mississippi and the American South as one of the state's most actively haunted historical landmarks.

    Longwood Mansion

    NatchezUnited States1860–present

    Longwood, also known as 'Nutt's Folly', is the largest octagonal mansion in the United States and an iconic symbol of the antebellum South. Commissioned in 1860 by wealthy cotton planter Dr. Haller Nutt and designed by Philadelphia architect Samuel Sloan, construction was abruptly halted in 1861 at the outbreak of the American Civil War when Northern artisans dropped their tools and fled north. Left forever unfinished above the basement level, Longwood stands as a haunting, freeze-frame monument to shattered ambition and tragic loss, renowned for paranormal reports of Dr. Nutt and his devoted wife Julia.

    Natchez City Cemetery

    NatchezUnited States1822–present

    Perched on high bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River in historic Natchez, Mississippi, Natchez City Cemetery is an extraordinarily picturesque 100-acre Victorian burial ground established in 1822. Renowned worldwide for its magnificent funerary sculpture, ironwork enclosures, and historic oak-lined avenues, the cemetery is equally famous for heartbreaking supernatural lore—most notably the grave of ten-year-old Florence Irene Ford, built with a subterranean viewing room, and the mysterious 'Turning Angel' statue.
