William isn't the only one still floating about the house. His niece, Inez was jilted at the altar and jumped to her death from one of the bedroom windows. Often visitors hear piano keys tinkling from the main hall, but no player. Interesting, Inez was always a keen piano player. Sally Boston, a slave nanny was intentionally poisoned and often makes appearances still in her white dress - the "uniform" of the nannies in the house.
Between 1871 and 1948, not much is known about the property other than the fact it was sold, resold, passed over and abandoned 20 times with no explanation. Many believe it is down to the house's haunted reputation. Nowadays, Loyd Hall Plantation Home is a mixture of things; a wedding venue, cosy bed and breakfast and a place for paranormal fans and experts to try and catch a glimpse of the many ghosts said to haunt the property.
The preservation of the home and historical knowledge of the current owners make this a fascinating stop on any Louisiana or Deep South holiday. Some guests report ghostly incidents, others don't. But what they all agree on is their stay was full of Southern hospitality at its finest.
