A Haunted History of Louisiana Plantations (Haunted America Book 18) Kindle Edition

Stories of ghosts and strange happenings at these historic Southern homes—with photos included.
 
Louisiana plantations evoke images of grandeur and elegance, but beyond the facade of stately homes are stories of hope and subjugation, tragedy and suffering, shame and perseverance and war and conquest.
 
After sixteen workers axed most of the Houmas House’s ancient oak trees, referred to as “the Gentlemen,” eight of the surviving trees eerily twisted overnight in grief over the losses wrought by a great Mississippi River flood. An illegal duel to reclaim lost honor left the grounds of Natchez’s Cherokee Plantation bloodstained, but the victim’s spirit may still wander there today. A mutilated slave girl named Chloe still haunts the halls of the Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville.
 
In this book, Cheryl H. White and W. Ryan Smith reveal the dark history, folklore, and lasting human cost of Louisiana plantation life.

The book reads more like a classroom book. It is interesting. If you are a visitor to the South it would be a good book to read before you go.

This is a book anyone interested in not only plantations but Southern history should read. The stories on the homes are well researched and very interesting with facts that are historical as well as personal. I enjoyed the photos as well. This nook gives a complete history if the homes form beginning to the present day.

2.0 out of 5 stars An architectural walkthrough of Antebellum Louisiana, low on spirits.
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2021

I believe I am being very generous by giving this book 2 stars. If you’re looking for an architectural history on Louisiana plantations, then this book is for you. There’s not much mention per entry on the paranormal and what mentions that are included are brief and very fleeting.
