    STRANGE WANDERS IS BACK! 

    In season 1 episode 3, we wander across Mississippi to explore some of the "witchy" aspects of the state's history. The Bell Witch, a foundation of American folklore, has ties to North Mississippi. Just down the road along the Natchez Trace Parkway, there are patches of ground on which no grass grows. Why? Let's just say the location is known as "Witch Dance." A little farther down the state a creepy legend known as the "Witch of Yazoo" seeks vengeance on the town who presided over her demise.
