Walk Vicksburg's most haunted locations. 13 stops, self-guided. 3 stops free. No guide, no schedule — just you and the dark.
For 47 days in 1863, Union artillery pounded Vicksburg into submission while residents sheltered in caves and soldiers bled out on dining room tables. The McRaven House, built in 1797, earned its title as Mississippi's most haunted house the hard way. Cedar Grove Mansion still has a Union cannonball embedded in its parlor wall, and a man in Confederate gray watches guests from the top of the grand staircase. At the Duff Green Mansion, surgeons amputated on dining tables during the siege — EVP recordings capture voices begging for water and morphine. Vicksburg refused to celebrate the Fourth of July for 81 years after the surrender. This self-guided tour hits 13 free stops where the Civil War never ended — from battlefield parks to antebellum mansions soaked in siege trauma.
