Now you stomping around in my neck of the woods. Everything is spot on with what you just told , you got some serious research done right there my friend . You already tried steamboat Bills and there’s a another little spot called Cecil’s right there. Foods pretty decent as well as over towards Dequincy to try your gumbo review. A little place called the Coconut Lounge I hit the last time I was in town couple weeks ago. Love the videos man, Keep up the great work!

At the beginning of the video there is a restaurant called Cecil's right behind the narrator. Cecil taught me about frying chicken at my very first job, MasterChef. Eventually those MasterChef stores were closed down and he opened steakhouses. Which is what you see behind the announcer. MasterChef was also the first restaurant in Leesville to open an all u can eat buffet.

Funny, I grew up here 😂😂 still have family there. The jail is also 2 doors down from a large church. It is a very out of place building for the rest of the community. They used to have haunted houses there, not sure if they still do. It’s pretty scary and I remember hitting my leg on one of the solid concrete beds. Big ouch! Nice job!!

I was a paranormal investigator for a few years. 2 places stand out most. American Cemetery in Natchitoches was one with so many findings. The other was Houmas House in Darrow. Houmas is what made me decide to stop. Kevin was always extremely kind and welcoming. We were called to go out there twice. First time we didn’t find anything. The second time is when I knew I was done. One I attempted to go to but was turned away is the old nunnery in Covington. I believe it’s the old SSA or something similar. I was relieved when we were turned away.

@@LouisianaDread The only evidence I had caught was what sounded like a child humming a song on the veranda. It was something that me and 3 other investigators experienced, but there is no video or audio to back it up. It was 1 specific room that no one felt comfortable in. You always go in pairs, but because of the intense feel, we didn’t feel safe and went in with 4. When you go “lights out”, it heightens your senses. We all were silent (planned. The less senses used the more heightened other senses are). So no visibility or hearing, you can feel the energy surrounding you. As we were sitting, it was as though something evil was next to you. Then it felt like it doubled, then doubled again and again. At the same moment, every single one of us jolted out the room. It was this extreme feeling of evil growing. 2 investigators were very experienced (20+ years) and decided they were also done. When we got to the station where our equipment was set up, we questioned why everyone ran when they did. One investigator had “psychic” abilities, he claimed he seen demons coming in and going in circles around us, it was when they got very close that we all ran. I can’t say I believe in psychic/mediums, but it matched what every one of us felt. Before the investigation, they were hosting a wedding. We were in the gift shop and noticed a new person working. She told us she was there for another reason than simply selling at a gift shop, she told us Kevin purchased a new item in his collection of antiques, if we were good at what we do, we would figure it out. We always take photos during the day to compare them with photos from the actual investigation so we could see if something can cause a reflection or why a shadow is shaped a certain way. One investigator had the photos of the first time we investigated and she compared them to our day photos. There was an old clay looking mask of some sort that was not there the first time. We questioned her about it and she confirmed that was why she works there. Marie LaVeau was her great (x?) aunt, she also practiced what LaVeau was known for. I’ve always been told if you don’t practice it, you are not allowed to speak on it, so I’m leaving the word out, as a form of respect.Apparently this mask is used to trap spirits. She said she follows the mask to ensure no other “person” lets them out. I can’t say this woman is indeed what she claimed, it could have been a new employee making up crazy stories. I’d have to contact Kevin to confirm. I have no idea if it’s related to our experience that night. I was completely done with paranormal after that. I analyzed my recordings only because of the respect I have for Kevin and being privileged enough to be invited into such a prestigious place with so much history. We investigated so many plantations and Houmas is by far the most impressive. It was also the only one that we left with experiences and evidence. But, spirits don’t work on our terms.

I grew up here. My dad was a child when that double hanging happened. He said it was like a festival. Or maybe a tailgate party today. Thousands gathered outside the jail. People were selling food and souvenirs. People were picnicking. Everyone was having fun. The inmates were able to be seen at the top cupola before they were dropped to their deaths at the end of those ropes. It sounds like a totally morbid and disturbing day.
