The ruins of Fort Wa#@!$%#@!a, located near Brown, in the south-central part of the state, are reportedly home to a mysterious headless ghost nicknamed “Aunt Jane.” No one knows for sure who she is, and there are numerous explanations for her presence. She is often seen roaming the fort, headless and dressed in a white gown. Rumor has it she buried gold somewhere on the property and has come back in search of it, which has made the site a popular destination for treasure hunters. Many of these treasure hunters claim to have encountered her presence, saying a mysterious force prevented their tools from entering the ground when they attempted to dig.


Strange and sinister happenings have plagued several residents of the old fort. After the Civil War, it had burned and been abandoned, and was later awarded to a Chickasaw Indian as part of a land allotment. He didn’t stay long, though. His first night there, all of his 32 dogs disappeared. He found them and brought them back home, but they vanished again, and he moved away shortly thereafter. Later, a doctor and his sister moved on to the property, and the haunting activity became even more obvious. The sister claimed to have seen strange things both in the house and on the grounds, and though she had no knowledge of the legends already surrounding the fort, she too reported seeing a headless woman. Many people dismissed her reports as the product of an overactive imagination, but they were real enough to drive her to a nervous breakdown. She and her brother subsequently moved away, and no one has occupied the property since.
