Oakland Plantation (Bossier Parish, Louisiana)

Oakland Plantation House

Oakland Plantation is a plantation house located in Bossier Parish, Louisiana. The plantation and its adjoining cemetery is located on Sligo Road, which is about seven miles south of Haughton, Louisiana.

In the early 1800s, Dr.Abel Skannal purchased the land and built a house on it. The house was built in stages, from 1838 to the early 1840s. The house still stands to this day. Although the rear part of the house was modified in 1960s, the facade of the house has remained the same since it was built.[1][2]

Claims of paranormal activity in and around the house have been reported. It has been said that the thermostats would randomly turn down to 0°F, children's blankets would be ripped from the bed, and chairs would rock on the front porch.[2]
