Northwest Louisiana Haunted Tales: The Pea Farm

The Pea Farm was a jail where many inmates met their final resting place... Or did they?

Deep in the woods of South Shreveport, lies what's left of the Pea Farm. History will tell you that it was built at the turn of the century as a jail. But those unlucky enough to end up behind those bars, never returned home.

Inmates met their ultimate fate while residing at the Pea Farm.

Legend has it the soil can't be turned without turning up the remains of the inmates. The jail has since been abandoned, but the souls of the prisoners still linger in their final resting place, waiting for someone to bring them justice.

Those brave enough to visit the vacant building can hear the inmates reliving their final moments, screaming and crying out for help.

Are their shrieks a cry for help, or a warning to not fall into the same life they could never escape?
