Old State Capitol

You are here Home  > Historical Buildings >  Old State Capitol

Security guards report motion alarms tripped at night when no one is around, lights flickering on and off and the occasional glimpse of a shadowy figure on the second floor. Ghostly footprints are left in the dust, and for some reason the local entity has a tendency to steal pliers from the maintenance staff. Some believe this to be the ghost of Pierre Couvillon, a mid-19th century Louisiana politician.

    1. I toured the old state capital in baton rouge la, in February 2015. when i was there I was trying to talk a picture of one of the fire places when i saw and orb in the middle of my camera. then all the sudden my camera turned off and it took awhile from me to turn it back on. but when it finally came on the orb was gone.

      the other encounter I had, I was in the second room of the gift shop and a book came flying off the self towards me. i was about 20 ft away form the book case and no one was in the room with me but my mom who was on the other side of the room,

      I felt temp drops threw out the whole capital. a since that someone was fallowing me, and watching.

      it was the most interesting experience i have ever had.
