  • Summary

  • "Mississippi has been called the state for Wanderers. In fact, the state's official tourism slogan is "Wanderers Welcome." It's many sights and places, attractions and faces provide a memorable experience for visitors of all types. But we would say that as one wanderers through Mississippi, don't think everything you encounter is exactly as it seems. Strange Wanderers is a podcast that explores the folklore, ghost stories, and surprisingly true tales of a place full of odd history, haunted graveyards, eccentric geniuses, and more. You'll meet royalty buried in a cemetery in Meridian, Mississippi. You'll learn of spectral visions on Civil War Battlefields who aren't quite ready to give up the ghost...literally. And then, there's always that crossroads. Join us for the first season of Strange Wanderers, launching just in time for spooky season. A production of MWB Studios, and sponsored by Visit Mississippi.

    STRANGE WANDERS IS BACK! 

    In season 1 episode 3, we wander across Mississippi to explore some of the "witchy" aspects of the state's history. The Bell Witch, a foundation of American folklore, has ties to North Mississippi. Just down the road along the Natchez Trace Parkway, there are patches of ground on which no grass grows. Why? Let's just say the location is known as "Witch Dance." A little farther down the state a creepy legend known as the "Witch of Yazoo" seeks vengeance on the town who presided over her demise.
