Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin were knee-deep in Voo Doo, artifacts, and hauntings at the Magnolia  Lane Plantation Friday night.    The plantation was an old cotton producing plantation where many slaves perished and may have  held Voo Doo rituals back in its day.  Zak did not leave his comedy at home this time.  He was full of tricep and bicep flexing while visiting a local crawfish diner, The Best Tail in Town, tasting the local Cajun delicacies.   They opened the investigation the night before by participating in a Voo Doo ritual with Louisiana’s own Voo Doo Priestess Bloody Mary.   The harmless ritual was done to “open the gate” to the spirit world so that they may have a fruitful investigation the following night.  In a still photo taken during the ritual, some smoke from a tiki-candle that was burning matrixed into what they purport is a human face.  So I guess every bunny I see in the clouds are actually ghost bunnies!

One of the more comical Zak moments was watching him run from the big carpenter bees on the tour of the Magnolia House.

During lock down, the night starts off with noises being heard inside the original plantation owner’s house.  Mr. LaCount’s portrait hangs on a wall near the fireplace inside the house and has eyes that seem to follow you.   While in the house, they hear a distinct knocking sound, which they  assume is the ghost of Mr. Miller, the slave overseer, who was shot and killed  in the house by Civil War soldiers.  It was probably a window pane rattling in the wind however.

Next, Zak’s EMF detector starts registering a spike in the room and make’s Nick Groff feel a cold chill.  This was followed by more thumps.  The GA Crew heads upstairs where they hear a female disembodied voice saying “hello.”  I say it sounded like a cat’s meow to me.  Funny that when you are actively looking for signs of paranormal activity, every normal and natural sound you hear suddenly becomes paranormal!

There were a few impressive sounds the heard in the slave’s houses though.  I hesitate to call them EVPs because the sounds were heard by the guys real time, whereas an EVP is not heard by the naked ear, but shows up later on a recording.  As they approached the slave hospital house, there was a supposedly unoccupied slave house (that had electricity) where lights were inexplicably turning on and off.  They  peered through the blinds, but the doors were locked so they never went inside to investigate.  Grounds employee Dustin(?)  just stands there and says that this shouldn’t be happening, and despite the fact that HE HAS THE KEYS TO GET IN, he does nothing and says the locals call that a LuLu (a ghost).  WTF guys?  Afraid your going to find a person flipping the switch in there?  The guy with the keys was standing right there?  Why didn’t you go in?????? DUH!

ANYWAY….

The EVPs picked up include what sounds like several people chanting something in unison.  Aaron and Zak heard this right in the room where they were locked in.  There were also some interesting EVPs picked up by the static camera’s left inside the LaCount house while the guys were outside in the slave houses.  One was a man’s voice in the upstairs bedroom.  In the living room the camera’s audio picked up some eerie sounding music.  That was cool.
