Visitors have reported paranormal phenomena, such as an unexplained "time wave" sensation. The Story of Félicité and the Outlaw. The Mistress: The plantation was owned by Félicité Chretien, a strong-willed woman known for her independence and management of the plantation. One night, a gang of men tried to rob the house. Félicité stood guard and shot one of the intruders in the head. She then ran to wake and arm her men, causing the remaining robbers to flee and abandon their fallen friend. Her spirit is said to remain on the plantation, possibly as a protective presence, according to Louisiana Haunted Houses and Acadiana Historical. The ghost of the outlaw who was killed by Félicité is also said to haunt the plantation, with some accounts placing him on the stairs. Visitors have shared their own experiences, including seeing an orange glow of a man's face in a photograph taken on the stairwell and feeling a disorienting "time wave" when walking onto the balcony.
