Here’s Your Chance To Investigate The Gothic Jail In DeRidder At Night

One of the most unique and scariest haunted houses in the State of Louisiana resides in DeRidder, Louisana in the Gothic Jail. The place is pretty freaky. They currently hold tours and during the month of October, they turn it into a haunted house attraction. Well, later in 2023, there will be some investigators that have been featured on Major TV Networks that will be coming in for two nights and you can stay the evening with them... IF YOU DARE!!

As a DeRidder native, my parents and grandparents would refer to the Gothic Jail as the "Hanging Jail." My Dad actually would tell us the story growing up about how he had gotten in trouble as a young kid and my Paw Paw took him to the Hanging Jail to try and teach him a lesson...

ABOUT THE JAIL: The inside of the jail is just as majestic as the outside, featuring a separate bathroom in each cell and skylights in the cells on the top floor of the building. These were amenities that were unheard of for the times. However, the jail still maintained some standard practices of the era. Hard steel bunks accommodated about a dozen inmates in each cell and a long dark tunnel connected the jail to the courthouse so there was no interaction between inmates and the public.

There are three floors in the building. The bottom floor housed the Jailer’s quarters, where he lived with his family, as well as his office and a temporary holding cell for prisoners not destined for a longer stay. The second and third floor of the building each holds four cells, all opening out onto the spiral staircase that sits in the center of the building.
