Nottoway Plantation
Plantation is located in Whitecastle, Louisiana. The staff members of the plantation never speak of any ghosts and deny if any spirit walk along the halls there. Nottoway is the largest plantation house in America with 53,000 square feet. The house was originally built in 1859 for John Hampden Randolph and his family of 11 children. The Randolph’s were among the wealthiest of sugarcane plantation owners before the Civil War in all of Louisiana. Randolph and four of his sons left the rest of the family at the plantation during the war to start a cotton plantation in Texas.
During the war, a Union gunboat that was on the Mississippi River fired at the house. The attack was then called off because one of the men on the boat had stayed in the house the previous year. Due to their hospitality to a northerner, the house and the kids were spared. At the front of the house once stood a coachman, making sure guests were able to get out of the carriage’s comfortably and he also directed other slaves to handling baggages. However, this coachman is still doing his job, although his identity is not known. Many people have reported feeling the presence of this man behind them as they stand in the front.
