About Me

ORLANDO GHOST TOURS AND SOUTHERN GHOSTS ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE:A WEEKEND IN VICKSBURG, MISSISSIPPI, JUNE 27TH -29TH!Over the past 7 years, Orlando Ghost Tours and Southern Ghosts have been proud to provide you, our guests, with amazing experiences in the world of paranormal investigation.In our continuing efforts to find new and exciting locations to investigate, our research has led us to the beautiful, historic, and haunted city of Vicksburg, Mississippi!Vicksburg, during the civil war, was the site of the siege of Vicksburg, a significant event during the war in which the Union army was able to wrestle control of the entire Mississippi River basin. The Union utilized the 47-day siege as a means of starving the city into submission due to the fact that the city’s location atop a high bluff overlooking the river proved to be impregnable to assault from federal troops. The North successfully captured Vicksburg on July 4th, 1863 and, coupled with the defeat of General Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg the previous day, marked the turning point in the American Civil War, leading to the Union’s defeat of the Confederacy.Incorporated in 1825, this important historical city is filled with great beauty and fascinating stories of ghosts and haunts. During our investigative weekend in Vicksburg, we will be investigating several buildings, including the famous McRaven House, the city’s old courthouse, and the primary military battlefield of the siege of Vicksburg. You will have the opportunity to use some of our investigative equipment and interact with our experienced team of investigators and mediums as we delve into the mysteries surrounding some of Vicksburg’s most storied, paranormally active locations.While visiting the battlefield, we will also be able to walk through the Cairo Museum, a museum built in to an actual Confederate battleship, the Cairo, sunk during the siege and brought up from the depths of the Mississippi River.The price for this incredible weekend is $575 for single or double occupancy, with an additional cost of $125 per additional person with a limit of 4 people per room. That’s just $285.50 per person for a party of 2, $233.33 per person for a party of 3, and $206.25 per person for a party of 4 in one room! Included in the price of this event is the following:· Paranormal investigation of the incredibly haunted McRaven House.· Investigation of the Vicksburg Military Battlefield.· Investigation of the Vicksburg Court House.· Accommodations at the brand new Wingate Hotel.· Usage of all paranormal investigative equipment.· Interaction with Orlando Ghost Tours and Southern Ghosts experienced team of investigators.· Complimentary gift packets.· And many more surprises!There is limited space available for this terrific event and rooms are going fast so please contact Orlando Ghost Tours at (407) 247-0452 or Southern Ghosts at (407) 234-6611 to reserve your room!Thank you and we look forward to having you join us in Vicksburg this June 27th-29th!We are paranormal field investigators, and we have been conducting field investigations throughout the United States for almost a decade. As we investigated more locations, we realized that this was something we would love to share with the public.As event coordinators, we specialize in setting up public overnight and weekend investigations of haunted locations such as bed and breakfasts, hotels, and public properties.These overnight investigations have been designed to give people the opportunity to use paranormal research equipment and to experience first-hand what it is like to become paranormal field investigators.We strive to build on our reputation as being the best paranormal event coordinators out there.

Our affiliations and training with only the most reputable paranormal investigators gives us a distinct advantage when it comes to coordinating the highest quality experiences for our guests. And most importantly, we are always very excited to meet new people and learn from their experiences and knowledge, because in the world of the paranormal, there are few, if any, definitive answers to these complex questions.We have been very blessed to work with some of the greatest minds in the Field of Parapsychology.We now consider these people friends and many of theme accompany us on our investigations.We hope you will feel free to contact us with any questions you have about your own experinces.
