Sometime in the early 1700's, probably a few years before the 1718 founding of New Orleans as the colonial seat of government, a French settler selected this site for the fulfillment of his aspirations. It was he who planted the twenty-eight live oak trees in two rows of fourteen each, eighty feet apart, to form an avenue of trees, a quarter mile in length leading to the Mississippi River.

Back in the early 19th century, around 1836, the land that is now Oak Alley was acquired by a French Creole named Jacques Telesphore Roman. But back then, it wasn't known as Oak Alley; it was called Bon, Séjour SEDGOR which in French means "good living" – a pretty fitting name for what they hoped this place would become.

This magnificent mansion would have made local society weak at the knees! Yet it also held a dozens of enslaved who were the private property of the plantation owner.

Is this place haunted?

We did not have access to the main house, but we stayed in cottages nestled at a distance.

In our investigation we DID capture a voice that answered our question.

We were in one of the 100 year old cottages.

You will hear more about this in one of our upcoming episodes where we will talk about the experiences we had during our New Orleans trip.
