Watch Unexplained: Haunts

Halloween 2001 was the stage for what would become a trilogy of half-hour television specials. It was called "Unexplained: Haunts" and represented a year's worth of paranormal investigations. This programming was unique for its time and even more unique for a broadcast news television crew to create. This was before "Ghost Hunters" and other similar shows. We were influenced by MTV's "Fear" and "The X-Files," but we were also driven a formula: capture and honor the history of a location and weaving that together with a documented paranormal investigation.

You can draw your own conclusions from what we captured on video, audio, and images. While we certainly used some creative video to showcase these stories, the paranormal evidence is not doctored or fabricated in anyway.

To me, the most compelling evidence we collected was the image of Creekboy at 14 Mile Creek in Raymond, MS and the knocks and bangs at Merrehope Mansion in Meridian, MS.

If you've been to the locations featured in this special, feel free to comment below or ask me any questions. So, if you get scared easily make sure you leave the lights on and keep that special someone near you. Get ready for a special edition of Unexplained: Haunts!

Picnic areas are available for small and large groups, large pavilions require reservations, and an event hall is also available for rent.

Also, British warships chased the American fleet up the river during the War of 1812. History at Kings Landing Park is being experienced in other ways.

Secrets of the House in Between | Unexplained Cases (2024)

Written by: Rick Garner Case Filed: 6/29/24 Executive Producer: Rick Garner Why are some places haunted while seemingly others are not? Why are some considered very haunted? One home in Mississippi appears to be very haunted when you consider the variety and frequency of documented supernatural activity. Under constant surveillance, the focus of two documentaries and countless investigations, what’s become known as “The House In Between” once was just a uniquely designed home in Florence. In 2011, our own Darren Dedo was an anchor and reporter for ABC affiliate WAPT. This was many years after our creation of “Unexplained” at the local CBS affiliate WJTV.

Ten years later, in 2021, Darren reconnected with Alice and she shared consistent and additional details about her house. In November 2023, Rick Garner visited this infamous home one afternoon.
