Episode Description

The Longfellow House in Pascagoula, Mississippi is an elegant antebellum mansion overlooking the Gulf of Mexico—symmetrical, refined, and seemingly untouched by time. But beneath its pristine façade lies a reputation shaped by violence, exploitation, and stories that refuse to fade. For generations, locals have whispered that the house was built on suffering tied to the domestic slave trade, and that whatever happened inside its walls left more than just historical scars behind.

Over the years, people who lived, worked, or passed through the Longfellow House have reported unsettling encounters: unexplained sounds in empty rooms, figures appearing on staircases, objects moving without cause, and the persistent feeling of being watched. These experiences have followed the house through every phase of its long life—from private residence to school, museum, hotel, and beyond—suggesting that some histories don’t stay buried, no matter how carefully a place is restored.
