It was built y slave laborers, to which the plantation had. The plantation's walls are said to be 16 inches thick of solid brick. The plantation was used in the movie "Interview with a Vampire", and is now used as a museum for historical tours and also as a restaurant & inn.
Claims of paranormal activity include: A ghost that the employees call the Lady our House, who is a black vision of a mass who roams a staircase. (Theories point to that the this woman could be the first female owner of the plantation, named 'Selena'). This same apparition has also sometimes been seen through mirrors, but not directly looked at. Selena was also spotted on several other rooms including a bedroom where she has been spotted laying on a bed. Another apparition of a shadowy woman figure wearing an "antebellum" costume has also been reported. The phantom apparition of other formal owners and residents of the plantain. Objects falling and moving by themselves, like a candle that were resting on top of a candelabra falling off the candelabra and unto a table, then when put back to the candelabra, the candle would throw itself towards a door. An attic room where feelings of dread usually kick in when individuals enter it. Other shadow figures, other objects moving by themselves, feelings of being touched without a source, strange noises voices and sounds of people crying where there are none, empty chairs rocking and creaking by themselves.
TAPS is joined by Ghost Hunters International investigator Barry Fitzgerald.
