Haunted Holly Springs

10/15/2026

Thank you to everyone who came out for our first “Hill Country Hauntings” tour of the season last Saturday! We had a blast! We are switching things up a bit this weekend and offering our “Murder and Plague” tour, which explores the darker, more terrifying history of our town, with murders, deaths, Yellow Fever and other unexplained and paranormal occurrences!

We should have perfect, cool Fall weather for Saturday’s tour, so come on out and get spooked! Tickets are available on our website at www.hauntedhollysprings.com

All of the rain will be long gone before our first haunted walking tour of the season tonight, starting at 7 PM. If you want to hear some spooky stories and visit some haunted spots, tickets are still available at www.hauntedhollysprings.com!

In the meantime, here is our next “Hill Country Haunted Short”- the Murder in the Woods!

Enjoy the short, and hope to see you soon!

Our first haunted walking tour- our flagship "Hill Country Hauntings" tour- is this Saturday, October 10th, at 7 P.M. It will certainly be a wet tour, but that only makes the ghosts more active!

We are still watching the weather forecasts, but right now it looks like Holly Springs is only expecting a lot of rain, so we will be going ahead with the tour. We do not offer refunds due to rain, but if you are scheduled to join the tour this Saturday and would rather switch to another "Hill Country Hauntings" or "Murder and Plague" tour later in the season, just let us know!

If the weather situation does change within the next day and we determine we can't hold the tour, we will let everyone know. We will be sending out confirmation emails to all guests booked for tomorrow's tour by this afternoon.

If you want to come brave the weather (and meet our creepy "Ghost Clown of Randolph Street"), tickets are still available at www.hauntedhollysprings.com

In the heart of Holly Springs, Mississippi is the Featherston Place, a nearly 200-year-old mansion built by a founder of Holly Springs. Featherston Place is widely considered one of the most haunted homes in all of North Mississippi, with three ghosts allegedly haunting the spooky house. Who are these ghosts? How did they die? Are they still around today? A quick visit to the cemetery might answer that question.....

October is here, which means the 2026 Haunted Holly Springs tours are not far away! Our first tour will be next Saturday, October 10th. Tickets are still available for all of our events (www.hauntedhollysprings.com), but some of the events are getting close to selling out, so don't wait to preorder your tickets!

For those of you who can't join us on the haunted walking tours this year, we've got a spooky treat for you! I will be posting "Hill Country Haunted Shorts" on my Hill Country History Tiktok and Youtube accounts throughout the month of October, where we will look at many of our famous ghost stories and creepy local legends, not just in Holly Springs, but throughout North Mississippi's Hill Country. If you can't join our tours, this will be the next best spooky thing!

Fall is in the air, which means the next Haunted Holly Springs season is right around the corner! Haunted Holly Springs is one of the longest running seasonal ghost tours in Mississippi, offering our famous ghost walking tours and other spooky events for over a decade! Our ghosts, ghouls and skeletons will have you dancing in terror as we explore the spookier side of North Mississippi's Hill Country!

Our "The Hill Country Hauntings" Tour is our flagship ghost walking tour, visiting many of the most haunted locations in Holly Springs! This tour is the perfect introduction to the world of the paranormal, and includes a primer on ghosts and ghost-hunting and a special "Ghost-Hunting 101" short movie in our creepy Yellow Fever Martyrs Museum. From the ghouls of Spring Hollow to the infamous "Ghost Clown of Randolph Street", this tour is sure to scare the unliving daylights out of you!

The "Murder and Plague" tour goes beyond our famous ghosts and ghouls and digs deep into the dark recesses of our creepy town, uncovering the hidden underbelly of Holly Springs. We will visit the sites of gruesome murders, suicides and executions, hear the horrifying and tragic tale of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1878 and encounter Holly Springs' own forgotten mass murderer! At the Yellow Fever Martyrs Museum we will watch our short film "Mysteries of the Martyrs Museum" and learn about the secret history of one of the oldest and spookiest buildings in North Mississippi!

The "City of the Dead" tour is our popular and spooky walking tour of Hill Crest Cemetery. Come wander the solemn burial grounds that contain the mortal remains of some of Holly Springs' most famous (and infamous) characters. From Yellow Fever victims to the graves of Holly Springs' most famous ghosts, our tour will end at the famous and creepy sarcophagus of Mittie Manning, the girl who wouldn't be buried!

On Halloween Day, just before you head out for "Trick R Treating", we'll be offering a special Halloween Edition of the "City of the Dead" Tour, complete with a reading of the spooky "Cameo" short story at the grave of Holly Springs' most famous ghost- Lizzie McEwen of Featherston Place! This will be the perfect way to get your Halloween Night started, so come on out!

Returning for Halloween Night is the very popular "All Hallows at Montrose Manor" event, where you will be invited into the spooky 170-year-old antebellum home that has witnessed some of the darkest days and nights in this town's history. After a guided tour of the mansion by the Holly Springs Garden Club, we'll be joined by paranormal experts for a live ghost hunt! You'll see the tools paranormal investigators use to find and communicate with ghosts, and the very bravest volunteers will get to participate in the investigation and hopefully hear from the ghosts themselves! This is sure to be a spooky, unforgettable night! This one night only, one tour only event will sell out VERY quickly, so don’t hesitate to get your tickets!

New for 2026 is our "Mysteries at the Martyrs' Museum" tour, where we will be meeting at the spooky Yellow Fever Martyrs Museum! This 190-year-old former church, now dedicated to the victims of the 1878 Yellow Fever Epidemic, will host us as we dig deep into the history and legends of this building. We will try to "reach out" and contact many of the known spirits who haunt this Museum. From haunting paintings to spooky mannequins, this tour is sure to summon up ole "Yellow Jack" and perhaps a few other spirits as well!

As always, though our tours can be a bit too scary for very young children, children 12 and under are free on all of our classic ghost walking tours! Children under 16 are not allowed on our "Mysteries at the Martyrs Museum" and "All Hallows Eve at Montrose Manor" tours, due to the sensitive nature of those tours.

Remember that our tours get booked up quickly, so don’t wait until October to order your tour tickets. Also remember that our tours operate, rain or shine, and no refunds will be given due to inclement weather.

Happy Halloween from Haunted Holly Springs!

We have one more tour tonight, our “Halloween Tour” which will include many of our most famous spooky stories and tales and murder and plague! Costumes are encouraged and we will be handing out candy at all of our stops! There is still space available, and tickets can be preordered at www.hauntedhollysprings.com

Our “All Hallow’s Eve at Montrose” event tonight is sold out, but we are looking forward to seeing our booked guests there for a spooky and fun end to the Halloween season!

We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Halloween Night!

Thank you to everyone who has attended one of our ghost walking tours this season so far! We’ve enjoyed meeting new and old friends! Here are some pictures from the various tours.

We have one more tour this season- Halloween’s special walking tour, from 6 to 8 PM on Friday. Our Halloween Night event at Montrose is sold out.

10/18/2025

Based on the most recent and reliable weather updates and reports, here is the plan for our tours tonight. I'll also be emailing this to all of our guests booked on a tour tonight.

It looks like a line of thunderstorms will hit the Mississippi River around 8 PM, and then reach Holly Springs between 9 and 10 PM. While this may end up being a fairly mild storm, the biggest dangers will be from straight line winds. We absolutely do not want to be stuck in the middle of Hill Crest Cemetery when these storms hit, as there would be a significant danger from falling branches and entire trees coming down (sadly the reality for our beautiful cemetery every time a storm comes through). The safety of our guests comes before everything else, and we also want everyone to make it home safely.

Here's what we will be doing tonight. The 7 PM "City of the Dead" tour will go on as scheduled, with some spooky additions! We will be canceling the 8 PM "City of the Dead" tour and the 10 PM "Yellow Fever Fields" tour. Guests booked on our 8 PM tour are welcome to join us on the 7 PM tour, or refunds will be issued. Guests booked on our 10 PM tour are welcome to join us at 7 PM as well, with partial refunds.

We are bummed that we won't be able to do our live ghost investigation on the "Yellow Fever Fields" tour. Atmospheric disturbances have been known to increase the chances of paranormal activity, and we don't want to miss it, so we will be bringing our equipment to the 7 PM tour and setting up after the tour at a few "hotspots", including the Yellow Fever field. Any guest booked on one of tonight's tours is welcome to join, and we'll end it before things get bad.

We apologize to everyone who were looking forward to tonight's tours, but we will try to make the best of it! Hope to see you at 7 PM!
