““Visitors to the lower stretches of the Pascagoula River may notice something strange: an eerie, low humming sound, beckoning from the dark waters. The unusual sound, sometimes described as similar to that of a swarm of bees, is said locally to be the last haunting refrain of the vanished Pascagoula Indians, who marched into the river to drown, singing as they went, rather than fight or be enslaved by the invading Biloxi Indians. In tribute to the tragic legend and the strange echoes of this faded past, locals often refer to the buzzing waters as the Singing River.””
