Louise the Unfortunate, Natchez City Cemetery 

As it is told, Louise came to Natchez to be married. It’s not real clear where she came from, but New Orleans is mentioned as well as some cities in the distant north. The story of Louise gets a little fuzzy and goes in a couple of directions here.

One story relates that she never found her fiancée and due to some reason remained in Natchez. Some stories say she would be to embarrassed to return home because she had built up her fiancée’s reputation and creditability and to return home would destroy everything she had been saying about him. Other stories say she learned that her fiancée had died she didn’t have enough money to pay for passage home.

Other stories say Louise found her fiancée, but if so the story again spins into two areas. One is that they had a severe falling out and the other is that Louise discovered that he was married.

Whatever Louise’s situation was it is pretty well accepted that after she found herself stranded in Natchez she held various respectable jobs. She worked as a housekeeper, seamstress and other jobs a respectable woman could perform. However, as the stories go, she gradually drifted to the notorious Under-the-Hill area working as a waitress in cafes and bars. As time passed she became a Woman of the Night at one of the many brothels Under-the-Hill. 

It isn’t clear, but some say Louise became friends with a doctor who treated her during her hard life Under-the-Hill, and upon her death he paid for her funeral. Some say a wealthy plantation owner who frequented her room on lonely nights paid her funeral expenses. Others say a preacher paid for her funeral from his pauper funds, but she wasn’t buried in a pauper’s grave.

Whatever Louise’s story is she must have gained someone’s attention because she received more than most destitute people of the period; she is buried in the Natchez City Cemetery with a tombstone, even though there is no date on the stone. (Source)

Haunted Goldfield Hotel

The Goldfield hotel is said to be haunted by more than one spirit but the most notable is a prostitute named Elizabeth. The way the story goes is that the hotel owner George Wingfield took a severe liking to Elizabeth, and was furious when he found out that she was carrying another man’s unborn child. So furious in fact that he chained Elizabeth to the radiator inside of room 109. 

There she stayed supplied with nothing more than food and water until she gave birth, at which time it is said that George took the baby and threw the it down an abandoned mine shaft. The same mine shaft that the hotel is said to be built on. After the birth of the child, Elizabeth vanished, never to be seen or heard from again.

The Water Babies of Massacre Rocks: As said by Weird U.S 

“Outside of my hometown of Pocatello, Idaho is a tragic, frightening spot known as Massacre Rocks. Long ago it was the scene of an incredibly awful, sad incident, and nowadays it is the home of ghosts who haunt it because of that incident.

When Native Americans inhabited this area, there was a severe famine. It was so intense that the villagers got together and decided that there wasn’t enough food to feed any new mouths. As babies were being born, their mothers were forced to take them down to the nearby river and drown them, rather than have them live a life of constant hunger and starvation.

Nowadays, these so called Water Babies still make their presence known. If you go to the banks of this river and sit for a while in silence, you will begin to hear the unmistakable sound of babies crying. It’s supposed to be the spirits of those same babies, looking for their mothers.”

This baby was three weeks old and was resting comfortably in her car seat when the mother took a picture. After the picture was developed, she saw the gray image next to the baby that appeared to be another baby. The mother had lost her first baby due to a miscarriage and thinks that this was her lost baby coming to watch over her newborn sister.
