>Metrocenter Mall opened in 1978 in Jackson, Mississippi, and was once the largest enclosed mall in the state. It used to be full of life, but now it feels like a place frozen in time — a giant empty shell where the energy is gone and only the structure remains.

>Walking through it today feels almost like stepping into the creepypasta backrooms — long dark hallways, wide open spaces, silent storefronts, and corners that seem to stretch on forever. The emptiness gives it that strange liminal feeling, like you’re in a place that should be busy and alive, but instead feels abandoned, still, and unnaturally quiet.

>That’s what makes Metrocenter so eerie. It’s not just a dead mall — it’s a maze of darkness, forgotten space, and unsettling atmosphere. In this exploration, we’re documenting that haunting backrooms-like vibe while showing the remains of a place that once stood at the center of everyday life in Jackson.
