  • Box Office Bomb: Budget, $36 million. Box office, $13,323,411.
  • Creator Killer: Three of the producers involved with Ghosts of Mississippi did not work another movie for the rest of the 90's, with Frederick Zollo and Nicholas Paleologos not getting another producer credit until 2006 and Andrew Scheinman not getting another producer credit until 2014.
  • Dueling Works: As Nostalgia Critic points out, it came out the same weekend as Beavis and Butt-Head Do America at theaters. Beavis and Butt-Head soundly defeated Ghosts of Mississippi in reviews and ticket sales due to the latter being perceived by critics and audiences as an "Oscar Bait movie".
  • Playing Against Type: Whoopi Goldberg is extremely subdued as the stoic Merlie Evers.
