Chretien Point

Louisiana · USA · Manor

Félicité Chrétien is said to have shot a pirate on the staircase one evening and had the body put underneath it. The stains are still shown to visitors.

The story at this plantation house near Sunset, Louisiana concerns Félicité Chrétien, who ran the place, and who is said to have shot a man on the staircase one evening and had his body put underneath it.

Visitors are shown stains on the stairs. The account here comes from someone who stood beside them and describes half of their body going cold, and their companion feeling the same.

The staircase is genuinely famous. It was used as the model for the one in Gone with the Wind.

What that film left out is what this house was. Chretien Point was a working cotton and sugar plantation, and the wealth that built the staircase and paid for the house came from people who were owned. Their names are not in the story about Félicité.

The house is private and has been open for tours and events.
