Keachi Women’s College

Found south of Shreveport, Keachi is a small mostly empty town that used to be home to the Keachi Women's College, which was founded in 1856. The abandoned school here definitely comes with ghost stories attached.

Kisatchie High School

Found in what is now the National Forest, this historic site is nearby the also abandoned Old Kisatchie cemetery.

Charles Boldt Paper Mill, New Iberia

Found in the middle of downtown New Iberia, this abandoned paper mill used to be the lifeblood of the town. Over the years there have been some attempts to rejuvenate the property, but it hasn't stuck yet.

Elise Reuss Memorial School

Found on RIver Road just past White Castle, LA, this old school has a long and fascinating history.

Six Flags New Orleans

Definitely illegal to be on the premises here, but even just eyeing this place from the road will give you a spooky thrill.

Fort Proctor

Another site that is firmly not open to the public--and as water levels rise, continues to become increasingly surrounded by water. But again--even from the road it's a sight!

Abandoned Sugar Mill, Laurel Valley Sugar Plantation

End your spooky tour at the abandoned sugar mill. You could even snag a tour of the Laurel Valley Sugar plantation.
