Oak Alley Plantation

Oak Alley Plantation (historically first known as Bon Séjour) is a historic plantation estate on the west bank of the Mississippi River in the community of Vacherie, St. James Parish, Louisiana. The property is named for an approximately 800-foot double row allée of southern live oak trees that runs between the antebellum plantation house and the river; the trees were planted in the early 18th century, predating the existing house. Oak Alley is designated a National Historic Landmark for its architecture and landscaping and for documented agricultural history at the site, including the grafting of pecan trees in 1846–47 by an enslaved gardener. The supplied sources do not provide first-hand accounts or descriptions of supernatural manifestations. The only explicit connection to paranormal investigation in the provided material is a Wikidata entry that links Oak Alley to a Ghost Hunters episode (Season 4, Episode 19); the supplied excerpts do not include that episode's content or detail any phenomena investigated. Contemporary historical research connected to Oak Alley — notably the work of historian Katy Morlas Shannon on individuals such as Antoine of Oak Alley and the histories of enslaved people along Louisiana's River Road — appears in the provided podcast archive and contributes to the site's cultural and scholarly significance, though these materials do not make paranormal claims. Because the supplied documentation includes media-metadata indicating a televised paranormal investigation but contains no descriptions of specific reported phenomena, all paranormal-related statements here are limited to what the cited sources directly indicate: that the site has been associated in metadata with a Ghost Hunters episode. No named spirits, apparitions, dates, witness accounts, or detailed manifestations are present in the provided materials.
