If taking part in an actual paranormal investigation is on your bucket list, you’re in luck. The Crossroads Museum in Corinth has a couple of ghost hunts scheduled for this year. Housed in a former train depot that dates back decades, the notoriously haunted museum is the perfect place for an eerily good time. But be warned; the likelihood of supernatural activity is pretty high, which means this ghost hunt is not for the faint of heart. Read on to learn more.
Corinth has a rich railroad history. And in an effort to preserve that history, the town’s train depot has been transformed into a museum.
The railroad played an important role in Corinth since its founding in 1854. In fact, the town was once billed the "Crossroads of the South" because of the importance of its railroads.
In addition to history, the former train depot is steeped in the supernatural, making it the perfect place for a ghost hunt.
On June 22nd, the museum will be hosting its Celebrity Ghost Hunt. The hunt will feature the professional paranormal investigation team, the Tennessee Wraith Chasers (TWC).
A spooky history lesson, the ghost hunt focuses on the Battle of Corinth, which was one of the bloodiest of the Civil War. The two-day battle resulted in over 7,000 casualties and left the town devastated.
Hauntings associated with the museum are most often linked to the Battle of Corinth. Mass graves, which serve as the final resting place for countless soldiers, are located on and near the museum property.
The Battle of Corinth Ghost Hunt, which is designed for small groups and led by 2 – 4 guides, is perfect for those who want some one-on-one time with professional investigators.
During the private investigations, the museum staff will help you navigate the building and answer any questions you may have.
The Crossroads Museum is located at 221 N Fillmore St., Corinth, MS 38834. For more information, call (662) 287-3120. You can also visit the museum’s website or Facebook page. Ready to purchase your ghost hunt tickets? Click here.
