Is LeComte Plantation (Magnolia Plantation) haunted?
No claims are filed here — the record keeps this place for its documented history, not for a haunting on file.
The record — long form
Magnolia is the largest — the '235 enslaved' that's the parish's most, the '70 cabins' that's the quarters' rows. The 'brick' is the unusual — the 'two-room' that's the families split, the 'center chimney' that's the hearth shared. The 'burned '64' is the lost — the 'Red River retreat' that's the Union's spite, the 'main house' that's the flames took.
The 'lived to '70s' is the stayed — the 'tenant farmers' that's the cabins' after, the 'same families' that's the generations kept. The 'hospital' is the kept — the 'enslaved's sick house' that's the building rare, the 'ledger names' that's the people recorded. Magnolia is the whole — the 'eight cabins stand' that's the double row left, the '200 years' that's the labor's span.
The file keeps Magnolia: the largest quarters, the brick cabins, the '64 burning, and the stayed families.
Magnolia is the archive's Louisiana file — the quarters that outlasted the big house.
Why this file matters
Magnolia is the archive's Louisiana file — the plantation where the cabins survived the mansion.
A quarter keeps its rows — the file's suggestion being that Magnolia's hold is the remained: the 'brick cabins' that's the permanence built, the 'burned house' that's the master's loss, and the 'tenants to '70s' that's the continuity kept.
