One of the ghosts who is said to haunt the Old State Capitol is Sarah Morgan, whose family donated the land the Old Capitol stands on. Another is Pierre Couvillion, a former state senator from the 1800s. Legend has it that in the middle of a heated speech about corrupt politicians, Couvillion had a heart attack, and his spirit is rumored to still wander the halls of the old statehouse, setting off motion detectors and leaving footprints. While sightings are rare, many have reported whispers throughout the halls and unexplained movement.

Louisiana’s most colorful politician, Huey P. Long, is known to have frequented the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center when he was alive, then known as the Heidelberg Hotel. There was even a tunnel dug underground for him to quickly escape his enemies. His favorite hangout of the past seems to have also become his favorite hangout of the afterlife; the former governor’s ghost is said to wander the halls of the 10th floor. Some report sights of his spirit walking the 10th floor while puffing a cigar and disappearing as soon as he is acknowledged. Others have also reported whiffs of cigar smoke coming from freshly cleaned rooms on the 10th floor – even though the hotel has been smoke-free since 2006.
