Even on Melrose a Great - Great Grandfather Chatta spirit still lingers, and many more Ancestors spirit still lingers, I have even seen them at the old slave auction block which is a water fountain when I was there in the late 1990s, I've seen some up in Grant Parish too. Natchitoches 9th ward Louisiana. Speak their names so their never forgotten.
😮 I just recently traced my families ancestry and I found out I am a descendant from the original Metoyer family who owned that plantation and I’m amazed. I have to visit one day
I, too just recently found out via Ancestry. Planning to drive down from Arkansas when I go visit my parents. Hopefully it's still open during the Christmas holidays
Creoles were slaves in the Caribean in sugar cane plantations before they got to Lousiana. Did they break up the families in Lousiana? Or did they have them stay together? That makes all the difference. My family is NOLA Creole.
Yes, I did a lot of reading on it, and some of the families treated them very well and of course there were some that didn't. I've been to 5 or 6 plantations over the years and I'm glad that some of these have been preserved to tour. It's a strange sensation and I tell people it's hard to explain, but when you're there in person, you can actually feel what type of Plantation it was. You can feel the darkness or you can feel a calm. It's strange because I'm not big into ghost, spirits or supernatural but if you go there and close your eyes and just have a minute of quietness, you will be able to feel it.
My 3rd great grandmother Clementia was a cook/house servant for Ambrose Lecomte at Magnolia Plantation during slavery.
Interesting! There were a lot more plantations along the Cane than most people would imagine.

It's an interesting area of the world. I will be in that area for Thanksgiving. They do an amazing tree lighting in town

Creoles were mostly slave OWNERS in the Caribbean before they came to Louisiana. 2/3 we're free 1/3 were slaves.
