As much as I love studying Psychology, my impulsive thoughts are telling me to learn Italian & then study art history in Florence instead. I love this city so much~

Florence Irene Ford was just ten-years-old when she passed away in 1871 after contracting yellow fever. While alive, Florence was terrified of thunderstorms. Whenever a storm would roll in, Florence would run to her mother’s side to be comforted until it passed.
When Florence passed away, her mother was distraught. She had a custom coffin built with a glass end where Florence’s head was placed. At the grave in Natchez City Cemetery, she had a pit dug and lined with brick. Steps were then built into the grave along with a heavy iron door. Whenever there was a storm, Florence's mother would go to the grave and sit inside the pit, keeping her dead daughter company until the storm passed.
According to cemetery director, Don Estes, the grave is haunted. The glass window has long been bricked over but the pit and iron door still remain. “I brought a lady out here one day, and she just got frantic,” he said. According to the lady, her mother brought her to the grave many years before. When her mother went down into the pit, she rushed back out, screaming and rolling on the ground with a green glow over her. Estes said that another cemetery worker had witnessed the entire ordeal unfold.
