Labadieville

Cedar Grove Plantation had a railroad track at the back and it has been told that there was a man swinging a lantern then it turned to car lights and then a single light. It was said that he was a breaksman and had been killed on the track. There is also talk of a headless horseman traveling the street at night. These stories were told to us by my mother who had lived in the area all of her adult life. This particular story was told by my father and brother who are now deceased. My father did not believe in ghosts. He was adament there is no such thing. My father collect scrap iron and my brother helped him. They were in a pasture and my father was collecting the scrap iron while my brother sat in the station wagon listening to music. It was dusk dark when my brother said he looked in the rear view mirror and saw a light in the back seat of the car. He yelled to my father and ran leaving him. My brother was so terrified when he reached our home he could barely talk.

Mary Jane bridge

When we went on to the bridge on Stone Rd. we turned off the truck and nothing happened we were all a bit disappointed so we got in the truck and left but a few seconds into the ride we realized that all 4 of our tires were flat. We had a compresser and filled them back up till we got back to town but there were no leaks and never went flat again!.

Stone road Lafayette/St. Martinsville la. I personally went wit about 5 friends one night to said bridge. I was too chicken to turn off car on bridge so put into park before bridge. two of the guys with us decided they needed to relieve themselves and would go into the field to the side of the road. they both exited the car on the passenger side and entered overgrown field. The night was bright with moonlight and there were 3 more of us in vehicle. after about 30 minutes we became worried about the guys and started calling for them, they suddenly reappeared ON THE OTHER SIDE of the road. when questioned they said they had just walked in and relieved themselves and came right back out when they had heard ME scream their names.I wasn’t one of the ones calling for them and none of us had ever actually screamed. neither of these guys are pranksters and were genuinely baffled as to how they ended up not he other side of road as they swore they only went into filed a couple of feet and hadn’t even been there 5 minutes. it was about this time another member of the car noticed the moon reflecting off something to the left of the bridge near the waterline(this is a small coulee bridge not large one) from a distance it looked like a draped body lying in the mud. we had had enough and piled back into the thankfully still running car and skedaddled out of there. I have never gone back.

The legend of stone road and Mary Jane bridge. 1st my mom and of all her friends say when they were in college they went to the bridge. The legend says if you turn off your car on bridge you wont be able to start it again for almost 10 minutes. They turned of the old wagon they were in(it wasn’t old at time) and out of no where a large white owl dive bombed the vehicle. Slamming into the windshield. when everyone flinched and looked up the windshield was cracked Dina web formation but there was no feathers no blood and no bird to be seen.

Residential Home

There was a taxic cab driver that was killed by two teenagers outside the town home we’re renting. Story here: My wife and I rent one side of the town home and a couple of my coworkers rent the other side. We’ve been hearing unexplainable noises since the murder. Just tonight it sounded like a man bumped into our outside wall then was walking while resting on the wall. Kind of like dragging himself against the wall outside. I opened the door imeadiately and saw nothing.

There is a fire station on the north side of town. The only night that something would happen was Halloween. Ear shattering screams and rumbling were heard. The walls would sweat, even though there weren’t any leaks or plumbing works behind the wall. Every Halloween the entire crew would pack up and drive down the rd on the fire truck and sleep on the truck.

This is a gravel rd that is far from the city. It’s a very old rd that runs along side a wooded area. Many people have warned never fo go down that rd at night. There is a ghost truck that drives down there and runs you off sometimes. He will appear behind you and speed up, nearly ramming you. Then after you go around the last corner that leads to the paved neighborhood area he disappears. There have been sightings of shadow beings that usually stand on the side of the rd and watch you drive by. There have also been photographs of mists and ectoplasms by ghost hunters.

210 bridge

One day driving over the 210 bridge coming home from work, I saw a young man wearing a blue jacket and a baseball cap walking up the bridge. I thought it was very strange because Ive never seen anyone walk on the 210 bridge it’s very dangerous. So I decided to look back in my rearview mirror he was gone. I believe he was a ghost.

Old house-

There is an old house in the city that stands admists town down trees. It’s wrecked but no one has bothered to destroy it. There are at least 2 spirits inhabiting the house. One is inside the house and the other is outside. Inside the house, there are boxes, ladders, and cans of paint as if someone was going to remodel the house but stopped and left. There are many odd spots such as the attic, there is a hole in the ceiling and if you look up into it you feel as though something is looking back. Sounds such as door creaking open{even when all are nailed shut} and someone slamming glass against a wall have been heard. Reports of seeing a white figure and a blue mist.

Old railroad-

This is an old railroad that is on the outskirts of town. A railroad runs across, leading to the rice factories. The story is that a long time ago, in the 1950s, before there were railroad signs there, a family consisting of a mother, father, and 2 daughters went down that road. Despite the fact the older girl protesting going down that road due to a bad feeling, the father drove down there anyways and the car got hit by an oncoming train. Reports of seeing orbs and the apparition of the older girl. When you drive down that road you get a very strong, odd feeling of being suffocated.

There are places around the post office in Lecompte, LA that are inhabited by spirits. They are not friendly. I have seen them with my own eyes. This place is loaded with all kinds of spirits.

Leesville-

I live in Leesville…to be more exact I live in Lee Hills…The house that I live in is haunted…The people that I know that didn’t believe me have even seen things with their own eyes. I was taking a shower one day and I was home alone..while in the shower I heard a crash as if something had fallen, so I got out and went to go look to see what it was, the lamp that I have behind my sectional had fallen over. Another time was when I was watching TV in my living room and heard something fall, again I was home alone, I went to see what it was and my floor fan had not just fallen over but the cover to it was off. I tried many times to get it to fall and the cover come off but it never would. I have heard voices and foot steps many times through out my house. And I am not the only one to ever see things happen because of my ghost ”Henry”. A friend of my mine and I were watching TV in my room one night and I my laptop was on screen saver mode all of a sudden it turned on to the windows screen, as first we thought nothing of it but then thought that we should take some pics with my digital camera just to see if there was anything that we could catch on film, well there was. We took 15 pics that night and in 9 of the there were orbs. The orbs were different shapes and sizes and never stayed in the same place.

I resided in on post housing when my husband and I experienced three sightings. One night, while we were sleeping in our bedroom, something awoke me. Upon my waking, my husband also awoke and we seen a man fleeing out of our room. He went to chase him, but could not find a sign of anyone in the house. The second sighting was in the same house and it happened to me. I was speaking on the phone with my sister, when my closet door in the bedroom flew open. After witnessing that, I went to sepen the night with a friend. The next morning, we returned to my home and the closet door was shut. We had attempted to open the closet door, but it would not open. The last sighting came to me in a dream around christmas time. It was like the male spirit wanted me to know his story.

Lisbon

One night when it was really dark.I lived in a tiny trailor house,but there were many ancient sheds around my house.I just so happened to look out towards one,and I saw the most repulsive thing ever!I saw,staring back at me,a shadow darker than all the rest of the dark,with slim,glowing red eyes.It smiled the most evil smirk I could have ever seen at me,and that’s all I can remember.All I know is from then on,I had a strange crescent shaped scar on my left kneecap.I also from then on always heard tapping noises at my window,and when I looked out it all I saw were gloomy shadows upon the pond.

Livonia

In my house, I usually feel watched or followed. Once me and my friends were playing a ghost hunter game, and we left to drop them off. ALL OF US LEFT. When we returned some of our skin lotion had been sprayed EVERYWHERE in the bathroom, as if something, or someone did not want us there. And the night before we were in my room joking and laughing and I was standing near the hall, the light across from my room went out and I felt someone pulling my arm. And regularly I feel scratching on my forehead VERY hard. Then at night I hear someone whispering my name and knocking on the desk beside my bed.

The Dowling House-

In this house there are recorded to be 2 ghosts that haunt this location. The owner claims that a little girl pinched her arm while she was cooking, and then threw a tomatoe off the table and also claims the girl called her name while she’s in the kitchen. The son of the owners claims he has seen a shaggy haired man dressed in a Civil War uniform at the foot of his bed on more than one occasion. Also while watching tv the channels will all of the sudden change without anyone touching the tv or the remote. Beside the house is an old graveyard. Some believe could be built over some unmarked graves from a long time ago.

The old (Water Plant)

at the end of Water Plant Rd. in Logansport. This place is very active. I know from my own experiences from working there years ago. There are at least Four haunting there. One of a little girl laughing and playing inside the plant and her footprints in the gravel on the roof of the plant. Another is a young truck driver who lost his life one rainy night in a bad curve after leaving the water plant. I have seen him many times on rainy nights. Another is on certain nights at the bottom of the hill below the plant you can hear an old time rag piano playing and people laughing as plain as day. There’s another who’s always active inside and outside the plant late at night sometimes moving objects and banging doors. Sometimes you can here buckets fall but nothing is out of place. True Story!.

The anonymous person that sent the story in about the water plant is telling you the truth, because I worked there, and also witnessed many of the same sort of activity. One night I was working and all the pumps were off. You could have heard a pin drop it was so quiet, and all of a sudden I heard what sounded like bedsprings and shuffling of feet just across the hall in another room. I’ve seen the water truck driver walking toward the building, but there was no water truck there, and he disappeared at the door of the plant. I was outside sweeping and turned to look in the window and check on the board that contained reading, such as levels. Anyway, I saw a dark shadow blocking the picture from the TV, and it shot out of sight very fast! The scariest event that happened to me? I was sitting at the desk and there came a loud banging on the main door. I said, ”Hold on a minute, thinking it was my boss, but when I looked outside, there was nobody there. I went and opened the door, and no one was there. About 10 sec. after I closed and locked the door, I heard a loud banging upstairs at another door. I went up and no one was there. I looked all over and there was nobody there, but me. There are way too many things that happened to tell them all here.

I’m the same person who wrote the story about the (Old Water Plant) in Logansport. There were many times that I knew I wasn’t alone late at night when I worked there. Sometimes you could hear someone sweeping the floors but there wasn’t anyone there except me.I remember hearing the little girl laughing and playing as if she had a friend playing with her downstairs inside the plant late at night. I would see her tiny footprints in the gravel on the roof where sometimes she liked to pitch a peace of gravel at you to let you know she was? there. Sometimes there would be a knock at the office door but know one was there when I opened the door. You could hear whistling and things being moved around sometimes inside the plant but everything would be in its right place. I’ve even gone to the bathroom and I could hear footsteps walk up to the door and a breaker box open just outside the bathroom door that was closed when I went in. Sometimes things like that aren’t real fun to me! The worst was a dark shadow that would come up behind me and others that worked there this one was a very bad Spirit it would put a lot of fear in you. I just wonder if it’s still that way there. I’ve been gone a long time but I will never forget the times I spent there.
