This fort was used in the Civil War by the Union Army.  Here is a link from National Park service:

www.nps.gov/guis/extended/MIS/MHistory/Forts.htm hopefully this works.

I had gone here in Aug of 2005 with my daughters, of course being intrigued by the alledged hauntings...I had to go investigate. While I didn't see anything, I did get odd photos- blurred for no reason..partial blurs while the other part of photo is clear. I was trying to find the link for more info on the hauntings, but I can't..sorry..so I guess just enjoy the pics!!

has to toss in an orb

 

why did this one come out like this??

Yes, why did it come out like that? Did you develop those yourself, or have them developed. I wonder about that question myself.
David C. Oct 12, 2007, 9:06pm EDT
sounds like an interesting spot.

it's interesting that it's called Fort Massachusetts and it's in Mississippi.
