The Myrtles’ Plantation
The Myrtles’ Plantation House was built in the late 18th century by General David Bradford, a Revolutionary War officer. After leading the Whiskey Rebellion in Virginia, General Bradford was to the area that would soon become Louisiana. There, through a Spanish land grant, he acquired the land that would eventually become the Myrtles’. Gen. Bradford chose the location since it was the highest point around. Unfortunately, the spot had served as a burial ground for the Bayou Goulas and Houmas Indian tribes. When his workers came across bones as they were laying the foundation, they were ordered by Bradford to stack and burn them. For many years, Gen. Bradford lived in the house with his family. He only once reported seeing a ghost–a naked Indian woman that was always crying. After he died a natural death, Gen. Bradford’s house and plantation were passed on to his daughter and son-in-law. Soon after taking over the plantation, Judge Woodruff, the son-in-law, chose one his house slaves, Chloe, to serve as his mistress. As young woman, Chloe once caught the judge in a very compromising situation. Woodruff was upset at what she had seen, so he had Chloe’s left ear cut off. To hide the awful scar, she began wearing a green turban and it became her trademark. To try to regain her good name with the Judge, Chloe laced a cake with oleander flowers. She hoped the judge’s family would get sick and she would be able to nurse them back to health. Unfortunately, she used too much oleander and everyone except the judge died. When he found out what happened, Woodruff had Chloe hanged and left in the tree for several days. He would not allow her burial on the grounds and had her thrown into the Mississippi. Today, her angry spirit terrorizes the grounds.
I have been to The Myrtles Plantation a few times. Although I never saw or heard anything strange, there is a very “eerie” vibe you get from just being there. The story behind the house is so interesting and they even offer overnight stays! I would recommend visiting this house.

I have been to the myrtles. I don’t think it is that haunted though. I have heard that there is a cat that haunts the grounds(before i went) and when i went there i saw it! Strange thing is I turned to say look to my friends and it was gone! i dont know!
Comment by Ashton | 10.4.2005 | 9:32 pm
I just saw this entire story on a documentary. Chloe’s main job was to care for the children. The woman that owns the plantation now has a small son who came very close to falling into a swampy area. When she went to fetch him it came to her that she would never have to worry because the children would always be protected.

I’ve been to the Myrtle’s and I loved it! I was tucked so tightly in my sheets that I could hardly breathe! I recommend this for anyone who loves a great fright!
Comment by Brooke Nobles | 10.28.2005 | 1:55 pm
Have any of you ever watched the show Ghost Hunters? They sat up cameras, etc. at the Myrtles and quickly came to the conclusion that it is definately haunted. Check it out on their website.
Comment by Pam | 10.29.2005 | 10:11 pm
I lived in LA for most of my life as did my fiance. I have never seen a ghost but have been in many haunted houses. This one had no ghosts but the stories make it eerie. Contrary to what others say, however, there ARE VERY VERYVERY haunted places throughout LA. These are not placed on the internet or given tours of. They do exist though. My fiance lived in many of these places as did his family and the stories they tell or cannot bear themselves to tell will frighten you beyond tears. These places will remain whispered about and that’s all. That’s the charming thing about southern living. We don’t spread around or private business.

I have been to the Myrtles Plantation and it is very creepy and fun to see at the same time. Together with my boyfriend took the tour of the house and very CREEPY as well.
Comment by tara | 10.31.2005 | 6:31 pm
When I was about 13 or so, my uncle, dad and I,went to the myrtles on a friday night ghost tour.My uncle was a park ranger at the time in natchez,miss. so we were down there visiting from tenn.. The myrtles was only an hour or so away and my uncle insisted on us going down to check it out. Previous to going to the myrtles I had never heard of it. The thing that happened besides the erie feelings that night was in the front parlor.I personaly have a bad case of selective hearing and while in the parlor I did noy hear anyone calling me. all the sudden somthing tugged on the back of my shirt as if something was trying to tell me that everyone was allready in the other room. That is all.
Comment by BOB | 11.9.2005 | 10:59 pm
My friend went to this house and he said that he took a picture of the ground where two kids had supposedly fallen off the roof and died, but in the picture you can see the kids! He also said there is a man holding a gun that guards the house that is a ghost, but he seems real and won’t let you in.
Comment by Alex from Louisiana | 11.13.2005 | 8:26 pm
I don’t know anything about any oleander flowers. I heard she was making a cake and some stuff from her former ear…oozed into the cake and killed them. Eww.
Comment by Julia | 11.24.2005 | 6:10 pm
The stories about this house are awesome. I have been in a haunted house before and it was pretty scary. I would really love to visit the Myrtles Plantation and see these ghosts for myself.
Comment by April | 12.9.2005 | 12:02 pm
I went to the Myrtles on a class trip. Chloe stole my friend’s earring.
Comment by Avery | 12.30.2005 | 8:54 pm
Avery, that little comment is completely stupid and untrue. Show a little class and respect for a woman who has passed on.
Comment by Kimmie | 01.2.2006 | 3:40 pm
It’s neither stupid or untrue. They tell that story when you go on the tour. They say that Chloe only has one ear, so she steals one earring from people. I took mine off before I went in. I have respect for the dead, I’m just telling you what happened. If you don’t like the story, find their homepage and snap at them.
Comment by Avery | 01.2.2006 | 11:29 pm
avery you are right. i have been to the myrtles several times. it is true that chloe does steal jewelry as well as other items. sometimes they are found and sometimes they are not. chloe also likes to take the items and place them in rooms which are off limits to visitors.
Comment by TIFFANY | 01.4.2006 | 6:41 pm
I think this house shows a common misbelief caused by old-wives-tales. Still, It would be fun for mothers and daughters.
Comment by Wynter | 01.11.2006 | 5:31 pm
I live in Louisiana but have never visited the Myrtles, but I do believe these ghosts or what ever you wish to call them do exist. I am originally from Illinois, and as a young girl I remember stories that my mother would tell us of her Aunt who always said when she died she was coming back as a white cat. The evening her sister, my grandmother passed, a large white cat came through the open window and sat on my Although he was not seen his presence has been felt by many. He came to me the night of his death, he lived in Illinois and I in Florida at the time. I do believe that these experiences people have had at the Myrtles can very well be true.
Comment by Carrie | 01.27.2006 | 6:36 pm
We have spent the night in the house and didn’t see anything, but we all had an eerie feeling being there and heard strange noises on our voice recorder. One lady took a picture of her friend and there is a man standing in the background that was not there at the time.
Comment by tara | 02.1.2006 | 10:57 pm
we know it’s haunted because we saw this black lady’s ghost and she was drawn to the shine on marie’s wheel chair, we thought she was sum1 dressed up who worked there, but she never spoke and walked around a corner and we followed, yet she dissapered! omg!
Comment by Cate | 02.4.2006 | 5:59 pm
I will have to take up a collection for that poor helpless girl who attracts ghosts with her wheel chair. but yeah I’v been to the plantation about 10 times and every time something weird happens like i have my name called or i feel like someone is watching me it maybe is the judges children ohhhhhhhhhhhhh scarrrrrrrrrrrrry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Cate | 03.9.2006 | 7:01 pm
Though this is an interesting story, records have shown that the wife and children died before Woodruff moved into the Myrtles, and he recorded his slaves, and the name Chloe isn’t in records.

I’ll watch anything that has 2do with ghosts!(o.k maybe not everything)
Comment by Kirbie | 04.11.2006 | 3:55 pm
I went to the Myrtles 04/08/06. I went on the 8pm night tour. I didn’t find, feel, see, anything in the house to prove its haunted, but i didn’t get my pictures developed yet though, they might prove me wrong. I do know this though…my friends and I went check out the bridge over the pond in the backyard and there was alot of noise on the other side of the bridge when humans were there, but once they went over the bridge on land the noise stopped..at first i thought it was rigged….but i made a friend bring his tape recorder on the other side of the bridge and placed it on the bench…to see if it was rigged…and he walked back over the bridge on to land and the noise didn’t stop…so that lend me to believe that there is some kind of haunting going on.
Comment by Rachel | 04.12.2006 | 12:37 pm
me and my wife took the tour of the myrtles adventure tour on a saturday night at 8:00p.m. they only let you take a picture of the haunted mirror.when i got back home and looked on my camera you can see a little girls face in the mirror.that face was not there before i took the picture.i took about 6 pictures of the mirror and the face was only in 1 of the pictures.

Now the Plantation is a hotel and I stayed there for the day and scary stuff was happening but at night that is when I was really really scared and I left as soon as I saw a woman peek in the door
Comment by Courtney | 04.21.2006 | 8:08 pm
I have not been to this place but did see it on Ghost Hunters too. It definetly looks scary if nothing else. I had my own “ghost” experience when I was 15. A good friend moved away to a big farm house and I and several other friends spent a weekend there while his parents were away. A lot of very strange things happened and later we learned the young daughter of the original owner had been raped and murdered by a transient. Check out Most Haunted on t.v. And for those on this site who post profanity or stupid comments……GROW UP!!!!!

SHE SAID IT WAS REALLY HAUNTED AND WOULDNT STAY FOR THE NIGHT TOUR. I PLAN TO GO DOWN REALLY SOON!!!!!!

I have stayed overnight at the Myrtles twice and both times we have had very spooky and scary events happen. I would suggest to anyone who is interested in staying the night there to book the “Blue” room it is also called the Fannie Williamson room. This is supposed to be the epicenter of all of the ghostly activities that take place. If any one is interested in the things that happened to our group let me know. Happy hauntings!

Comment by Alexis | 08.31.2006 | 12:38 pm
My wife and I visited this house and it was great. We went to bed and 2 or 3 minutes after lights out the air conditioning cover fell off and landed on the floor with a loud bang! We about jumped out of our skins, we left the lights on for the rest of the night and got very little sleep. This is the best haunted place I have ever seen. The breakfase was great.
Comment by Robert C | 09.1.2006 | 4:58 pm
That Haunted america tours website is cool they have great stories and I love the Myrtles ghost photos.
I did a little research and the story on the site they have is the original and real one what all is made up was done by Kalaia Smith.
Many say she is trying to re write new Orleans history and be the athority on all of it… locals say she lies about the myrtles just to get exposure for her haunted tours and books.
At least thats what the two ex tour guides who worked for her ex husband told me that moved here to new york.
Comment by Mary | 09.2.2006 | 5:12 pm

I visit the Myrtles Plantation on a regular basis. It’s located in St. Francisville, La. It’s a very mesmerizing place. I love to visit there. It’s not spooky at all although, in my opinion very haunted. A couple years ago on my birthday we tried to stay the night there. We had the care-takers cottage and while lying in bed I felt a hand rub my stomach twice, needless to say, we left. I love to visit the place but will never stay again. The stories that are told on the ghost tour are just that, “Stories.” They are not true. There are no records of Chloe ever existing. The children did exist and you can visit their grave sights 1 mile from the Plantation. If you knew the real story, it’s just as interesting as the “Ghost Tour Story.” I think that Taps did a wonderful job at the Myrtles.
Comment by JULES | 09.28.2006 | 5:11 pm
My wife and I visited the Myrtles, and I brought my 35mm SLR camera (nothing electronic except the flash). I took several pictures of the grounds both before the tour and after. I also took several pictures while inside. When I had the film developed, the pictures of the grounds were clear and crisp, but NO pictures came up in between. The photo lab could not explain why the first 10 pictures were there, as were the last 9, but the 6 frames in between were blank. Haunted?? You tell me…

I live in Louisana about all my life…but I used to live in Iowa when I was a child. But I am now a bit older cuz I move to LA in like 4 years after I was born.Today I live in a normal house or atleast I think..but I used to live in a house in Lousiana what you could feel such an eerie feeling…you sometimes see writing which you didn’t write on pieces of paper…and I also heard my mom voice singing at home…when I check her room…she wasn’t there…I thought she was…but I remeber she went shopping hours ago..freaky eh?
Comment by Nhi | 10.6.2006 | 3:42 pm
Me and some of my friends just got back from the Myrtles and we plan to go again. It was fantastic and although we didn’t see anything with our “naked eyes” our cameras did pick up some interesting things such as tons of orbs and weird things going on with the lights on the grounds in the pics. If you go, you really need to stay the night like we did to get the full benefit of the place. It’s absolutely beautiful there!
Comment by Liz | 10.9.2006 | 11:05 am
I want to the Myrtles Plantation over a year ago but when i went something realy creapy happened! We were in the room right next to the foyer,on the couch when me best friends mom took a couple pictures!Well we got them developed,and in one of the pictures,the cushon that niether of us were sittin on was indented like there was someone sitting on it!
Comment by Jessica | 10.17.2006 | 1:16 pm
A bunch of my friends and I got together and rented the whole house out and had the time of our lives. We only knew about the stories on tv and from the tour. While we were there we heard nothing and only saw a cat walking around. We heard stuff beyond our bedroom door inside the house, our room had 3 doors in it, so it could have been anything. When I arrived it felt very scary, you could just feel it when we pulled into the driveway. We had so much fun, we investigated the grounds and the house, once everyone had left. It was till about a week after I bought a book about haunted places that I found out about the ghost cat, and the downstairs room that my friend and I stayed in. The room we stayed in was known to be a very emotional room. It just so happens that my friend was crying hysterically for no reason. Weird, but pretty cool. Now in 2 weeks I am headed to Estes Park, CO to stay at the Stanley Hotel, can’t wait!
Comment by Erica | 10.18.2006 | 4:21 pm

Comment by nikki | 10.23.2006 | 2:28 pm
I live in Baton Rouge, La. My sister took a tour of the Myrtles last year with a group of people. She said she saw the children along with several other people who saw them too. A boy and a girl. They were in front of a window that was boarded up. And then they were gone. Haunted?????
Comment by MJ | 10.26.2006 | 5:15 pm
I worked at the myrtles during the 2004 Halloween Season. I gave tours to many many people. However, I only had one real experience. I’m convinced it’s haunted but unfortunately I also think it has been played up a bit and the history has been tweaked a bit. Make up your own mind and remember that the house is more active when its not as full and there aren’t as many people in the house. Basically, don’t go during the month of October if you actually want to see something
Comment by Lauren | 10.27.2006 | 9:32 pm
My mother stayed the night at the Myrtles and she will not go back. She could not sleep all night. Her bed shook, her earings were by her bed and then they were in her suitcase, and she felt hands on her back!!

Comment by joseph | 11.1.2006 | 7:03 pm
I love the Myrtles, it is sooo pretty. I have just got done reading a book by Francies Keermen and she owned the Myrtles for almost 10 years and its called The Myrtles Plantation the true story about americas most Haunted House. Its the best haunting book i’ve read so far. I have gotten some very freaky pictures from my hometown ( Asheville NC) and believe very strongly. I watch Ghost Hunters every Wensday night starting at 7pm est and most haunted every friday night starting at 9pm and A Haunting on Discorvery Channel and wish I could get more. I wish on day to go to the house and tour it, but I dont think I can stand staying the night.

If anyone would like to see my Misty Ghost Picture I got from a Church in Asheville NC I would love to send it to you. Email me a hhmm702@yahoo.com and i strongly recommend reading the book by Francies Keermen.

Do you realize “Myrtle” was in Harry Potter!! Sorry but I love Harry Potter and I couldn’t help realizing. I’m not saying its not true, but I just wanted to say it. Maybe J.K. Rowling copied it! It is kinda odd. Oh ya I have to read the article. I just saw the title!
Comment by Susan | 12.18.2006 | 7:23 pm
My experiences with The Myrtles have occurred on several different visits. Most recently me and a couple of friends stayed on December 20, 2006. I have never been so terrified in my life. Several things happened including something “tugging” on my necklace on our Mystery tour. I almost told my friend Michelle to “Stop it.” Except she wasn’t doing anything. I felt something burning hot touch me when I went to peek in at the mirror from the back porch at night. Michelle saw the curtain move by itself. We heard footsteps on the stairs when every guest was accounted for on our tour.
The time before that, in October 2006, I got an a picture of the front door with a lady in black victorian clothes and a little girl’s face looking out. It’s not in the other pictures of the front door just minutes apart and I was inside and there was noone like that in there.
My boyfriend and soulmate, Rob, and I went the previous summer (2005) and while we were holding hands strolling on the grounds we heard two little girls playing. There were no little girls around. We checked.
We stayed this last time and at 3:00 pm me and another guest heard something that sounded like shutters getting ready to fall and a door trying to open (to the gift shop) and I was so scared I was shaking. I might have slept all of three hours.
Comment by Leslie | 12.26.2006 | 4:37 pm
now i didnt go in, sleep, or take the tour. But i will after what i saw. I was taking a video and my mom was taking pictures of everything on the outside. We did not see any ghost with the naked eye. We talked to this woman who was on here way out and was a tour guide who told us the story of the myrtles and told us that the ghost’s are mostly seen on camera or video. When i heard that i went on. we videoed and took lots and loths of pictures. The first Ghosts we saw were unbeliveable. Not even close to any of these pictures There was a little girl about 12 or so and a little boy about 8 or 9 they werent flying and they werent glares, they were as clear as the sky but we could autimatically tell they were ghosts when we didnt see them with the naked eye. The next 2 we saw were in the middle window and the window to the right of it. on the left side of the house on the top story. The one in the middle was an old man the one next to it was a girl who looked like she was in a pink nightgown.We only saw these ghosts on the video but we did see the little girl in the pink gown in 1 picture. I am a 12 year old girl who is excited and determined to go back to the Murtles Plantation and find out more and see more of this family.

now i didnt go in, sleep, ot take the tour. But i will after what i saw. I was taking a video and my mom was taking pictures of everything on the outside. We did not see any ghost with the naked eye. We talked to this woman who was on here way out and was a tour guide who told us the story of the myrtles and told us that the ghost’s are mostly seen on camera or video.

I have been to the myrtle’s and you have the story a little bit wrong chloe was caught at the double doors in the sitting room spying on woodruff so he cut her ear off and also when chloe was hanged for poisoning the cake woodruff had nothing to do with it chloe made the mistake of telling some other slaves about her plan and when the wife and children died the other slaves did not want to be punished for chloe’s doing so one night they got together drug her out of her shack and hanged her on a tree on the property then they cut her body down and threw her in the mississippi river then later on before woodruff sold the house he ordered his slaves to plant twelve myrtle trees lined with spanish moss planted beside the back porch and dedicated them to his wife and children and i had some experiences in that house when i walked in i felt something brush against me and as if a presence was in the room in the sitting room my leg went numb as i was standing inbetween the double doors as soon as i moved my body out from between the doors my leg got feeling back and when i walked into the second part of the sitting room i saw an indent in the couch as though someone was sitting there and a breeze of violet perfume passed by me into the other room

I have been to the plantation before i do not belive in ghost so I did not feel or see anything.But it is very pretty and I recomend you to visit it.

I think that they are just making it all up about the ghosts
Comment by Payge | 01.5.2007 | 4:48 pm
I’m pretty nervous and excited about this place. I’m acually going there this April on a huge field trip, so I want to be as ready as I can.
Comment by Emma | 02.6.2007 | 7:41 pm
My daughters class is going to the Myrtles on a field trip on Monday 2/12. I love ghost stories but have never seen or experienced any ghostly activity. I’m hoping that something happens on our tour. I will take lots of photos and will let you all know if I get anything. Also, please if you have Myrtles photos I would love to see them. Please post and I will send you my e-mail.
Thanks!

In all historical slave records for Myrtle’s Plantation that have been tracked down through time, there has been no Chloe or any other spelling close to this to. Not to disprove that the haunting are not real just the story of Chloe. The women in the green turban has said to be seen, but it is not the women that the plantation owners say it is or the town’s people. As for the one male owner who was shot at the plantation he did not crawl to the thirteenth step and die. He was killed on the spot on the front porch. As for the mirror with the reappearing figure there may be more to this story. I know the glass has been changed several times, but it may be that when the would was made someone messed up and touched it and the problem lays behind the mirror. I still believe the place has a good chance that its haunted, but not by whom they think.

Went to the Myrtles yesterday on a school field trip and have some new stories for you. I talked to some of the overnight guests and one couple had a ghost in their room. They said that the curtian pushed out like there was someone hiding behind it and when they got quiet and looked, it pushed back against the window then gathered the edge of the curtian and pulled it back like someone looking into the room from behind the curtian. They also heard children laughing and playing in the next room and footsteps. Another couple that stayed said they played their radio all night but that it kept changing stations and it even turned off once. I had a pretty good experience. While listening to the tour I was standing by myself with my back to an empty room and had all the hairs stand up on my neck. I looked around but saw nothing. I wore some cheap earrings since I had heard that earrings dissappear and when I left I still had both of them but the strangest thing happened after that. The earrings are the kind with a wire that you just hook through your ear and I had worn them for about 4 hours before the tour but after that they kept falling out of my ears. I couldn’t keep them in anymore and had to take them off. Pretty strange. We took a lot of pictures and video, so far all we see are a few orbs but I see orbs in a lot of my pictures so I have a hard time believing that these are spirits. I am going to review the video today and see if anything shows up. Overall the house was nice and I want to go back and spend the night.

My class is going on a field to the Myrtles plantation on May 10 and i am terrified. It sound fun ,but about the ghost I don’t believe it until i see it. My teacher sas u better wear you an adult diaper because when you see that it is real then you are going t pee you pant and that’s what is so scary about it.
Comment by Dah-Mairi | 02.13.2007 | 8:36 pm
I think the story is very sad and I feel bad for the poor souls trapped in that house and on that property. They’re all slaves to the land like so many others in the south. I live in LA and I believe strongly in ghosts and spirits but I’m not scared…most of them don’t want to hurt you…most of them only want peace and to be able to get on with their after life :/….BTW its Marie Laveau…I used to live right by her old place…

Comment by joe | 06.27.2007 | 5:37 pm
I have recently visited the Myrthles and stayed for two days. I stayed in the John Leeke room and it was about 11:30 P.M. and I was sitting on the bed looking at my laptop then I thought I saw something move right above the screen. The room is set up to where the bed faces the window which has a view of the court yard. Later, about 12:15, I was still on the laptop and when I looked up I saw the curtains swiftly move. I don’t know if it was my mind or ghost. I know the air conditioner isn’t strong enough to blow curtains 15 feet away.When I had the pictures developed, I saw orbs in the room and a mist-like formation by the window. I have no photos because Icouldn’t figure out how place them on the internet. Sorry
Comment by Jarrett | 07.2.2007 | 2:00 am
I stayed at the Myrtles in the upstairs bedroom. I recommend taking the haunted tour before you spend the night. It was extremely scary and creepy and I could not sleep all night. I didn’t see anything in particular, but there was a wierd-looking dog that started hanging out with me and my three friends. He was sweet enough, but odd-looking. I was pregnant at the time, and my daughter, who is now five, is sort of spooky, not scared of anything, hides in dark closets and jumps out at you, that sort of thing. Maybe she knows something I don’t. Go if you can, and stay the night.
Comment by Holli | 07.15.2007 | 4:08 pm
My daughter and I visited the Myrtles, carrying with us camera and digital recorder. This was in the spring of 2002. There weren’t many folks around, but we missed a tour and had to wait for the next one by walking around the grounds. We kept the recorder going, snapped a few pictures, and hoped we would spot a spirit or two. After the day’s excursion, we checked our photos and listened to the tape. We got zilch on the photos, but while we were walking outside with the recorder, we caught the sound of a horse galloping up and whinnying! It was unbeleiveable! I have never heard or seen anything about that in any of the writings or comments and was curious to see if anyone has heard of this happening. Thanks.

Comment by Dean | 07.26.2007 | 12:04 pm
I too have been to the Myrtle’s and I lagged behind in the Gentleman’s parlor when the tour guide insisted that nobody do so. I didn’t believe in ghosts at all and wanted to see if I would be proved wrong. I stayed behind as the tour went on into the children’s dining room and as I was looking at a book on the fireplace mantel, something rubbed up my back and lifted my hair up. It actually was a very warm and comforting feeling. Not scary at all. It didn’t make me believe in mean ghosts but it did make me believe in kind spirits or guardian angels, or something. Even if it’s not haunted, the place is worth visiting for the amazing history it has!
Comment by Joie | 07.29.2007 | 10:26 pm

Comment by Sandy | 09.15.2007 | 10:56 am
I stayed at the myrtles for three nights last summer. I stayed in one of the garden rooms. The myrtles is a great place to visit whether you are there hunting ghosts or just to relax and enjoy scenery along with history. The room i stayed in would not stay locked. Every time i came into the room i locked the door behind me and it would unlock itself. We went on a walk of the grounds every night and we would see shadows darting back and forth between the trees. It was almost like a game of hide and go seek. The second night I was laying in bed almost asleep when i felt my bed get pushed down on the side i wasn’t sleeping on. I got up and grabbed my camera as fast as i could. Took a picture and there is a perfect indention all the way down the bed where a body would be laying. I’ve got the picture if anybody wants to see it you can email me at Vegaskid1982@yahoo.com I would like believers and skeptics alike to email me and give me an opinion as to how to explain this picture. My friends and i are starting a group to go to all these places and would like others opinions on our findings.

I have gone on a couple of class trips to the Myrtles. The first time some classmates took a pic with the cat and in the actual pic you could only see a blur where the cat had been. And someone also took a pic of the mirror in the foyer and a girls face showed up in the corner. The second time one of chaperones lost an earring in the dining room. The lights started to blink and the chandelier started to shake.
Comment by Kristi | 10.16.2007 | 12:58 am
Um…Sorry to break the news to those who ever wants to go there but you cant…My daddy had a bad experience there and a co-worker was injured from the “spirit” so they are tearing it down and my dad is making a marketing landline there. =)

Comment by Lilly | 11.22.2007 | 2:07 am
I would love to see the ghost picture. I just love of hearing about ghost, but I’ve also heard to be careful around stuff like demons and ghosts, because you don’t know what your getting yourself into. I mean no offense of course, because the only time I saw a ghost was when I was in Virginia Beach, one summer with older half sister Brandy and her friend.
And what do they mean about Chloe not being real. I believe she is real, of course that’s my belief. And I heard that 10 deaths happened at the Myrtles and I am not sure what happened to Octavia, the baby daughter of Sarah and Judge Woodruff. All I know is that the Judge’s wife, Sarah and her two oldest daughters died. And that a gang of whites and blacks hanged Chloe. Oh one more thing, may I suggest you come to Patrick Henry Hotel in Roanoke, VA. I heard it is haunted. It would be really cool if I could see a ghost again.

I’ve lived in louisiana all my life and you wouldn’t beleive all the stories there are. You grow up on these stories. I have never been to the myrtles plantation, but I’ve seen lots os pitures from family and friends of weird things and heard tons of stories.
I can name at least 3 or 4 places near my home that are rumored haunted. I beleive there is a movie that talks about the white oleander flower (the kind she used) It might be somthing to look into. Has anyone here heard the storys of camp livingston in pineville La. I’m intreseted in hearin more about the Ice house!
Comment by Christi | 02.16.2008 | 6:03 pm

Comment by Melissa van Niekerk | 03.29.2008 | 2:46 pm
My sister and I and our two sons spent the night at the Myrtles in November 2007. It was awesome. We’re going back in June. My sister and I saw a little blond boy playing in the yard about 20 minutes after we got there. We were hauling our luggage to the caretaker’s cottage. A tour group had just gone into the house and no one was outside the house but us. I was talking when I looked across the yard. He was standing behind the fence by the caretaker’s cottage. When he saw me looking, he walked quickly across the yard with his head down. I leaned back to see if he was walking between the house and the gift shop and would show up in the courtyard (I didn’t realize he was a ghost yet. He was not transparent. It just seemed a bit odd. It also looked like the sun was shining brightly on him). When I turned my head, my sister gasped and said, “Did you see that?” I said, “What, the little boy?” She said he peaked out from around the corner of the back of the gift shop and jumped back when she saw him. We looked around, but no one was there. Also, our sons saw a man in overalls by a lamp post that night. Another couple left early because of hearing things drop on the floor and a music box playing outside their door. A couple that was there has posted a recording on youtube. In the background, a woman is distressed and trying to wake someone up named John. If anyone has seen the ghost of the little boy, I’d sure like to know. Please post here. Thanks

I would certainly like to believe this. And some day maybe I’ll be able to afford to go to the plantation but giving that I live in New Mexico I seriously doubt that will be anytime soon. However, I was researching this and came across this article published in a book called “So there I was” and said that there was never a ghost named Chloe that was ever recorded to have worked on the plantation. Also that the wife and two daughters was more like the wife, one son and a daughter who all three died from Yellow fever an epedimic that swept the south and plagued numerous families. Though it is facinating and I am very confident that there spirits that dwell there I don’t believe that one of them is a slave girl who out of jealousy or anger murdered three household members. According to family records and the records of the houses occupants there was only one actual murder that took place there. But who really knows right all we have to go on is what’s been passed down through generations…speaking of which according to this article the story of Chloe actually originated by the family it says that one of the girls remembers hearing stories of an elderly lady that wore a green bonnet. Supposedly she had been spotted several times but they never named her…more questions I suppose.
Comment by Derinda | 04.29.2008 | 6:22 pm
I made a trip to the myrtles the year of my 8th grade field trip . i never seen any thing 4 myself but i have been told many scary stories in a few days ( jun 9th ) i am going spend the night 4 my 17th birthday … i will report back later on what happens .thanks kari
Comment by kari | 04.30.2008 | 9:42 pm
Derinda, That’s right about the Chloe deal, at least thats what I read also. There’s no record of her or what happened documented anywhere and Judge Clark Woodruff had 3 children-2 girls and 1 boy. His wife, 1 daughter, and 1 son all died of yellow fever. One daughter survived, Mary Octavia. I think the Chloe thing got started when one of the previous owners kept seeing a woman in a green turban in the house and I think they jokingly gave her a name (Chloe), then it grew from there. Also, William Winters is the one that was murdered. He was shot on the front porch by an unknown man on horseback. The tour guides at the Myrtles say that he drug himself back into the house up to the 17th step of the staircase and died in his wife’s arms, but again according to historical documentation, he died on the porch. Supposedly, at night, you can hear him on the staircase. The people that stayed in the room at the top of the stairs when we were there left before midnight because they said they heard things falling on the floor and a music box playing right outside their door. Also, the Myrtles is built on top of a Tunica Indian burial ground. The first owner of the Myrtles, Whiskey Dave, would see a naked Indian girl on the grounds. I think there’s a lot of made up things, but it’s still haunted. A murder doesn’t have to take place for spirits to be there. I saw the little boy with my own eyes. Also, going back in June. I’ll report back….
Comment by Dee | 05.2.2008 | 10:08 am
Derinda, You’re right about the Chloe thing, at least from what I’ve read. There was no Chloe or oleander cake. Judge Clark Woodruff had 2 daughters and one son. His wife, 1 daughter and 1 son died of yellow fever. One daughter survived. Mary Octavia. Also, the man murdered there was William Winters. He was shot on the front porch by an unknown man on horseback. The tour guides at the Myrtles say that he drug himself back inside, up the staircase and died in his wife’s arms on the 17th step. According to historical documentation, he died on the porch. Supposedly at night, he’s heard climbing the stairs. The people that stayed in the room at the top of the stairs when we were there left before midnight because they said they heard things falling on the floor and a music box playing outside of their door. The house is built on top of a Tunica Indian burial ground. The first owner, Whiskey Dave, claims to have seen the ghost of a naked Indian girl on the grounds. I think there are a lot of made up stories, but a lot of tragedy and loss has taken place there also and that is why spirits remain. Also, I read that the Chloe thing could have started when one of the past owners kept seeing a woman in a green turban around and they jokingly named her Chloe. We’re going back in June. I’ll be back to post…
