The 1835 mansion—where the gardens outgrew the family.

Rosedown is a house in St. Francisville, Louisiana. The 1835 mansion—where the gardens outgrew the family. HauntHunt files it with plantation, local folklore and haunted places. The presence its accounts keep returning to is the one they call the turnbulls. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend, 1 documented fact and 1 named or described presence — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors.

Rosedown is the '34 — the 'six months' that's the built, the '$13,109' that's the cost. The 'Martha' is the gardens — the '28 acres' that's the diary, the '450 enslaved' that's the labor. The 'honeymoon' is the name — the 'play' that's the saw, the 'Turnbull' that's the richest.
The '660-foot' is the oak — the 'allee' that's the approach, the 'Greek temple' that's the doctor's. The 'Bowman' is the daughters — the '10 children' that's the raised, the '1930s' that's the tours. Rosedown is the restored — the 'Underwood' that's the '58, the '371 acres' that's the left.
The file keeps Rosedown: the 1834 house, the Martha gardens, the 450 enslaved, and the 660-foot oak.
Rosedown is the archive's Louisiana file — the diary's garden.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Rosedown is the archive's Louisiana file — the cotton's beauty.
An allee keeps its oak — the file's suggestion being that Rosedown's hold is the tension: the '450 enslaved' that's the labor, the '28 acres' that's the Martha, and the 'six months' that's the built.

FILED CLAIMS — 2 on record, reported not verified
· [Documented legend] named ghost legend: The Turnbulls are reportedly seen. Rosedown wears the claim the way old houses do: visibly, and without comment.

· [Anecdotal] apparition: Reported figures in the mansion. A house with St. Francisville's history behind it gives the reports a setting that needs no exaggeration. The file holds testimony rather than proof; the claim remains anecdotal. The account appears in 'Rosedown Plantation'. The figure remains the site's most-repeated sighting.
