La Pointe Krebs Cemetery (Pascagoula)
Sitting atop an old Indian burial ground on Krebs Lake, La Pointe Krebs Cemetery is touted as the oldest “active” family graveyard in America.
“The first burial was in the early 1750s,” said Mc Wixon, executive director of the La Pointe Krebs Foundation. “That cemetery has been in use for almost 270 years. There is a lot, a lot of souls in that thing.”
Locals, especially the fishermen who go out before daybreak, have always sworn that they’ve heard and seen weird things.
“We actually had some ghost hunters who came out in the last year,” Wixon said. “The cemetery was some of the highest activity we got.”
The deteriorating graves add to the spookiness, he said.
“People swimming in Krebs Lake have seen some of those tombs falling down and bones spilling out,” he said. “There’s some creepiness that goes along with that.”
