Ormond Plantation, Destrehan
Ormond Plantation is known for being a site of various hauntings, including shadowy figures, apparitions of a young woman named Lydia in an upstairs room, and a man in 19th-century clothing. Visitors and staff have reported sightings on the stairs, on the property, and seen ghostly figures appearing in mirrors. The plantation has a dark history of tragedy, including a major slave uprising in the 1800s, and the mysterious disappearance of its owner, Pierre d'Trepagnier, shortly after the home was built. Since the late 1800s, shadowy figures have reportedly been seen on the property. A young woman named Lydia, who died of a disease, has been seen in her bedroom, sitting on the bed and disappearing when someone enters. Ghosts have been seen on the plantation's stairs by both staff and visitors. Some accounts mention seeing ghostly figures appear in a mirror. A ghost of a man dressed in clothing from the 19th century has also been spotted at the plantation.
