Susie Plantation, Centerville
Susie Plantation in Centerville, Louisiana, is known for the legend of Susie, a reclusive 11-year-old girl who lived there with her parents before the house was abandoned, possibly due to her death and their inability to cope. Rumors suggest Susie's imaginary friend may have been a demonic entity and that the house was left after a failed exorcism. The story is a local legend, and though the property itself is an abandoned 1835 mansion, there is no official record confirming the events. Susie was an 11-year-old girl who lived in the mansion with her parents and often played with an imaginary friend. Susie's parents became worried as she grew increasingly withdrawn and only interacted with her imaginary friend. Neighbors discovered the house abandoned, leading to rumors that Susie had died and her parents left the house. Another theory is that the imaginary friend was a demonic entity, and the house was abandoned after an exorcism failed. The mansion is an 1835 brick structure that once sat on over 4,000 acres of land.
