Brian Topp Posted November 24, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) The seven men in custody in connection with the suspected arson of LeBeau Plantation in Old Arabi apparently were looking for ghosts, according to St. Bernard Parish Sheriff Jimmy Pohlmann. The sheriff said the men had been smoking marijuana and drinking in the vacant house http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2013/11/seven_people_in_custody_for_le.html Edited November 24, 2013 by Brian Topp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashore Posted November 26, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Another haunt falls to trespassing and foolishness. Sad And sometimes some folks wonder why I'm such a tightarse about trespassing and legality. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabon Posted November 26, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Sad pathetic idiots, who have removed a historical home all for a night of vandalism under the guise of 'ghost hunting'. I don't think that you are particularly harsh about it rashore, I have often stated, If you can't muster up the courage to ask the property owner for permission to be on their property (ghost hunt, take photos, hunt), you have no business doing it.

Rafterman Posted November 26, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 26, 2013 More proof that "ghost hunting" is nothing more than LARPING. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keel M. Posted November 26, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Yay. Just in case anyone cares... This is what the plantation once looked like: And just prior to the fire, which as you can see, would be easy enough for anyone to destroy...

Occult1 Posted November 26, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) That will certainly not help the reputation of ghost hunting. In fact, that's a blow for those who are invested to make honest researches. Some owners might be more reluctant to let a team in for a night at historical locations.

Ashotep Posted November 26, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Glad I wasn't looking forward to seeing this place, idiots, now I can't. I don't like people trespassing on my property, they are usually up to no good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skep B Posted November 27, 2013 #8 Share Posted November 27, 2013 That was a really nice looking place too..damn fools least they coulda done was set a crack house on fire looking for ghosts or something productive* Kelevra Industries World Wide does not support arson in any level despite target* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava_Lady Posted November 27, 2013 #12 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) I wonder if any ghosts showed up prior to the fire? The "hunters" might try to blame them. Tards.

Ralaman Posted November 28, 2013 #17 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Nothing says intelligence like burning down a house in attempts to summon a ghost.

stevemagegod Posted November 28, 2013 #21 Share Posted November 28, 2013 These aren't Ghost Hunters. The title is misleading. These are just Criminals who burned the place down. Anyone can claim they are Ghost Hunters but legit ones wouldn't burn a historical place to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecto76 Posted November 29, 2013 #23 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I would like to clarify this story because the news media has all of the facts wrong. Not that I am defending what these punk kids did. However, the news media are reporting them as Ghost Hunters. They are not an established group! They are not Paranormal Investigators. They are simply just "Paranormal Enthusiasts!" I agree with Steve. They are just punk kids. Professional Ghost Hunters would not ( I hope not ) in any investigation smoke pot, drink or set fire a historic location. The news media is misleading with their information and I am outraged from it. This is totally giving professional Investigators a bad rep!

No news media here in the city portrayed them as any part of a group here to investigate. It's been well established that locals believed it to be haunted. That's all they needed. "Hey man. Let's go see if that house really is haunted. Maybe we can find one!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
