3 reported haunted locations found near Jackson, MS.

Name	Description
Chastain Middle School	One day a young boy was skipping school and decided to leave out of the top of the auditorium where a hole was. But there was also a big fan there. Reportedly the little boy got chopped to pieces and if you walk down a certain hall in the school he will chase after you.
Old Capitol	This building was used as the state capitol from 1839-1903, and is now a museum open to the public. At one time during the 1800's, a legislator died from a heart attack in his office, and slumped from his desk, hitting the floor. To this day, sometimes around 5:15 in the afternoon, a thud is heard coming from that office. Security officers have also reported hearing doors slamming and hammering in the night.
University Club Amsouth Building	A former employee reports hearing footsteps, automatic doors opening and shutting rapidly.
