The USS Alabama has an amazing history behind all of her own .  She was responsible for shooting down 22 Japenese planes in a battle on the Pacific.  Her radar was the first to detect enemy bombers in the Battle of the Philippine Sea.  Today the USS Alabama is at its final resting place at Mobile Bay.  The USS Alabama is now considered  a National Historic Landmark.  Today as in many years ago there are still strange noises and unexplained happenings that take place on the USS Alabama.  The servicesmen reported heavy footsteps and strange voices below deck. 

So many time real hauntes are houses, graveyards and buildings.  Baton Rouge is known for having a real Haunted Oak Tree.  Located in downtown Baton Rouge you can see this large oak tree which is believed to be haunted by many.  Several reports of people hearing noises and crying and whispering coming from the tree.  There have also been people who like to frequent the large oak tree with a loved one.  Perhaps trying to helpo the soul of the person who is crying out inside.

Fort Gaines on Dauphin Island is located in Mobile County and was used a lot during the Civil War.  Fort Gianes had a beautiful vew of the Mobile Bay.  The forst was not built very well.  This would cause a major problem in the future, especially with being so close to the Mobile Bay.  The water entered the fort at high tide and at one time killing several of the prosoners of ware and helpless victims.   The Goverment realized this problem and tried to correct the problem and eventually did. It took many years, but the Coast Guard is still using the fort and has a base there when they are often taking part crash rescue boat drills. 

To this day there have been many reports of paranormal activity.  There will be footsteps heard, but nobody will be there.  Cold spots have been reported felt in many different parts of the fort.  Others have reported seeing spooky firgures, hearing strange noises, some in terrror.  It is no wonder that Fort Gaines in haunted.  Over the years over 1800 men lost their lives either on acident, duing their tour or they simply died attacking the fort itself.
