Baton Rouge’s Most Haunted
In a region as historically rich as Baton Rouge, you are likely to stumble upon many haunted locations as you travel down its spirited avenues. Formidable powers lay within the earth of this aged land, while macabre entities dwell above, filling its historic buildings. So great are its shadowy depths that one cannot visit all its ghostly destinations in a single night. Some sites are so gripping they merit their own tour, along which you can unearth their harrowing history in detail.
An oppressive atmosphere stifles much of the land of Baton Rouge, especially the spaces where slave owners once wielded a ruthless hand. Many have described the air of the Magnolia Mound Plantation as having one such dark aura. Here, the echoes of slavery scar the land, its traumatic past living on in ghostly apparitions and the ringing sounds of cruelty. The nearby Myrtles Plantation is just as chilling. Haunted by both those who resided inside its homes and those who toiled in the fields, its many ghosts saturate the ground and walls.
Yet these are not this city’s only wounds. If you dare to approach it after nightfall, Highland Road is another harrowing site worthy of a stroll. Confederate soldiers, left ragged and injured by Civil War battles, stagger down this gloomy road wandering outside of time. Just be wary of walking this haunted road under the cover of fog — these ghastly specters may appear suddenly, almost as if to ambush you.
