Spirits Take The Stage At The Hauntingly Beautiful Shreveport Auditorium In Louisiana

Louisiana plays host to a number of ghost stories and paranormal encounters. Of course, perhaps the most famous ghost story in Louisiana is the ghost of Chloe at the Myrtles Plantation, but she’s just one of the hundreds of ghost stories you’ll hear about when it comes to the spooky side of Louisiana. Up in northern Louisiana, there’s a historic building that may be known for helping launch the career of Elvis Presley, but it also has a paranormal history that’s worth investigating. Let’s take a closer look.

One of the most commonly seen spirits is that of a little girl in a blue dress, who is frequently seen running around the auditorium.

As the story goes, a woman gave birth in that bathroom, and many believe she comes back, reliving that moment. Maybe the girl in the blue dress is the woman’s daughter? You decide.
