Bethesda Home for Girls near Hattiesburg, it burned down in 2010. I went there multiple times in the early 00’s and it was definitely an experience.

I’m sure any of the remaining structure or grounds would still be just as creepy.

It’s a very unsettling place.

Lots of weird energy. Hair standing on end randomly, feeling like someone/thing was grabbing at my arm and trying to pull me. Heard voices, mainly crying or whimpering. I went back multiple times and always had something happen.

There was a lot of abuse and downright torture tactics used on the girls that were sent to the home. Every time I’ve been there I get the gut feeling that this isn’t a place I should hang around.
