In 1796, a beautiful plantation home was built in Francisville, LA on a piece of land that was purchased by a man named David Bradford. According to local legend, the land that the plantation was built on, was an ancient Native American burial ground.. The location and the dark history including several reported murders on the property have led to it being called one of the most haunted places in America, and a popular location for ghost hunters to investigate.
