31 sports stadiums most likely to be haunted
By John Buhler
27. Vaught-Hemingway Stadium
Vaught-Hemingway Stadium has been home to Ole Miss Rebels football for over a century. Ole Miss is currently in the midst of its most successful era of football since the golden years in the late 1950s and early ’60s, when the Rebels won three National Championships (1959, 1960, 1962) in four years under the one of the stadium’s namesakes, Johnny Vaught.
Given that this stadium is over 100 years old, and it is home to a team that plays college football in rural Mississippi in the fanatical SEC conference, there’s a good chance Vaught is not the only fan from the afterlife who shows up in Oxford on fall Saturdays to see the Rebels play.
Despite not being a top-tier program for much of the last 50 years, Ole Miss has a tailgating culture unlike anything else in college football. Every college football diehard should make the trek to The Grove.
Add in the ghost of former defensive back and Ole Miss icon Chucky Mullins, who was tragically paralyzed after a hit in the Rebels’ homecoming game against rival Vanderbilt, and Ole Miss’ Vaught-Hemingway Stadium has to go down as a one of those most likely to be haunted.
The only thing keeping Vaught-Hemingway Stadium from moving higher on this list is the fact the Rebels haven’t done much winning since the early 1960s — at least not enough to bring some more recent generations of Hotty Toddy nation back from the dead.
