Oak Alley Plantation

Oak Alley Plantation in Vacherie is famous for the double row of live oaks leading to its Greek Revival house. Josephine and Andrew Stewart bought and restored the property in 1925, and when Josephine died in 1972 she left it to the Oak Alley Foundation, which runs it as a historic site. Louisiana's state tourism site says staff have seen a ghostly shadow in a window and have heard the sound of a horse and carriage coming up the alley, and tells of a candlestick that flew across a room in front of 35 visitors. Some reports link the figure at the window to Josephine Stewart. The foundation focuses on the history of the house and grounds, and the ghost stories are staff and visitor accounts.
