Legend states that the Pascagoula River was the site of a mass suicide by the Pascagoula Indian tribe. Facing enslavement and slaughter from a pending battle against a superior force, they chose suicide en masse rather than facing defeat. As the marched into the water, they sang a death song and that is the music that the river continues to repeat to this day.

WE HAD A SUMMER CAMP ON THE PASCAGOULA RIVER WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 1970’S. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE RIVER DOES SING. IF YOU LISITEN CLOSLY AND LOOK LATE IN THE AFTERNOON YOU CAN SEE A FAINT MISTY SHADOW OF PEOPLE WALKING HAND IN HAND INTO THE RIVER
i know right
I walked from New Orleans to Panama city Florida. I came across this section on my way through the coast. Google maps took me through the woods one night and I was surrounded by shadowy figurers. 10-15 maybe I just kept my head down, hoody up and kept walking. I didn’t want to look at em directly. I know what I saw! I would be the first to tell you, I don’t believe in ghosts, ghouls, goblins or anything that goes bump in the night. I can also tell you that I know what trees, bushes and shrubs look like. I also know what a person 5″ 7 , 6ft, 4″ 5 looks like too!!! They were walking with me, next to me, on me!!!!!!!!! I got the fk outta there and I will never go back into the woods again
The singing is real. It is loud and distinct. When we heard it. It lasted about 20 minutes. We were sitting in the boat in the pascagoula river. Around Merrill Mississippi. We could not believe we were hearing it. But it seemed to be rising from the water. A strong and definite song. An Indian beat with singing. It has been reported for hundreds of years and i am proud to say that we were fortunate to hear it for ourselves. There is no mistaking it. Its loud. I sure hope that in this day of technology. Someone will be able to record it. I have moved away. And so I don’t live there anymore. But the singing is most deafinately REAL
My husband and I are paranormal investigator’s and have a YouTube channel called SOUTHERN CROSSOVER PARANORMAL and would love an opportunity to investigate this location. Who can I contact to get permission?
You don’t need permission to investigate the River. You can just go. You may want to get a boat and a guide. I’m a photographer and I would love to tag along.
