I live in Louisiana but i’ve never been to the Myrtles’ but I’ve heard the story all of my life, I think after coming here and reading all of you people’s comments some saying its fact some saying its not I have come to the conclusion that I’m going to visit the plantation. Of course I wont be bringing any jewelry lol.

I have been several times, and heard things. Smelled cigars and heard horses coming up to the front doors. Felt someone breath on my ear more than one time. Me and my niece go as well as my sister , we used several instruments and got results as well as orgs and things in our photos. It is a bit expensive but worth it if you like history. I love just sitting on the porches late at night listening to the sounds. I was born and raised in louisiana and live in mississippi now. Ask Ms Hester about her mississippi girls Kelly, Karen and Chlea.. (they actually still live in la). I am wanting to go again soon!

I did visit the Myrtles last week in fact.My husband and I spent the night in the main house..We were both repeatedly tucked in all night and I had someone play with my hair the entire night,and I do have very interesting photos.Needless to say my husband ,,ever the skeptic,,does indeed believe now.We went from North Carolina to visit.

wats up this is dizzy in the house some creepy **** lol love ya im twelve by the way

I worked at the Myrtles as a part time tour guide for three years. I have a warning to the wise. Don’t believe all the stories told. The place IS DEFINATELY HAUNTED. I will say that now. But what is portrayed as history is most of the time made up. Woodruff’s wife and children died of a fever. She died a year before the two kids did. There is no proof of a slave named Chloe, but there is the ghost of a slave woman there. The picture that is shown of the slave woman is real. It’s not a fake. She’s been caught in more pictures. A friend of mine even caught her in one in the foyer. I witnessed a woman in white walk halfway across room, stop in the middle of a table, and disappear. I was slapped in the hand by something unseen when I was fooling with one of the sliding doors in the parlors. I had gloves in the ladies parlor move while I was in the room. I witnessed someone’s earring yanked off their ear. I had footsteps walk past me, through the next room, and the door open on its own, when there was nobody to be seen. I was sitting at the dining room table when I heard one half of a conversation of someone I couldn’t see, but seemed to be sitting near me. I heard what sounded like the shuffling, dancing footsteps of a child. I have seen pictures of these children right after they were taken, when they could not have been photoshopped. I have watched balls of light playing on the ceiling and even had one fly around my knees. I have a photo of one of these lights. I cought an evp out by the pond. I had a small child’s hand playing with my sleeve, when I could see nobody there. I have felt cold spots. My friend sat on the 17th step of the mian staircase and we both felt the change in temperature. I’ve had doors slammed on me. When I was digging through some cabinets I felt a finger poking me in the back hard and insistantly. When I would stop, it would stop. Then when I started again, it started. I had someone clear their throat in my ear when I was the only one in the room. I saw a shadow figure walk down into the pond. I had nothing happen when I spent the night in one of the rooms, but I heard someone moving around in the living room of the manager’s house, when I was the only one staying there as acting manager for the night. My friend had told me earlier in the night that she had seen a figure walk by the window of that house. Someone came for a job interview to the manager’s house and was told by a woman in an old fashioned wheelchair to go to the gift shop. There was no such woman or wheelchair on the property. One of the housekeepers ran into the gift shop to get one of the tour guides to go with her to clean upstairs, saying she had opened the door to one of the rooms and had a shadow figure rush towards her. I had a penny thrown at me from behind while I was giving a tour. Only thing was, there was just a wall behind me, and no way anyone could have gotten around the furniture to get there to throw the penny. I’ve had my clothes tugged on from under the bed. I was giving a tour when tiny handprints suddenly appeared in the bed for no reason. I was giving another tour, when the curtains in front of me were pulled back, as if someone was looking out of the window. These things that happened on tour were witnessed by others. I had a mist go by me up the stairs. I had a woman in white standing beside me on the stairs during a tour, who nobody else saw at all. My best friend was in the tour and asked me what I kept looking at. I asked her if she saw the woman, and she said there was no woman there. I was the only one on the stairs. Another time a picture was taken just as I walked off the stairs and the same woman in white was seen on the stairs. I personally love the house, and I wish it was taken care of better than it has been. It really needs some structural work. Believe me, the house has its ghosts. I just wouldn’t believe everything told to you on the tours about the history.

i have never been to the myrtles plantation but i want to go real soon€. My gifted teacher took her gifted class there a few years ago.She told me that she took pictures and chloe was in the pictures!!!! Then she got a picture of a mirror and the mirror had handprints in it!! Then she had a picture of her class in the backround in the window of the house you could she the momma and hr little girl and in the other windows you could see indians!!! It seems really interesting. I hope i get to go to the myrtles really soon i want to get a picture of chloe!! I want to go on a class trip there. My friends cousin went there and his dad was standing beside the mantle and a clock that weight as much as a tv flew of the mantle!! i hear lots of scary stuff about the Myrtles!! I want to go!!!

I’m going to go to the Myrtles plantation for the end of the school year field trip & I did a report on it last year. It was scary, but remember it’s NOT REAL !!!! If you see something it is rather your brain fooling you or you are seeing something or maybe your lieing & lieing is a sin!
Wish me luck!
Aynsley,
P.S.I am in 5th grade !!!

I have stayed at the Myrtles and the room i stayed in was so freaky. There was this doll sitting on the fireplace and when i came back two hours later it was on the night stand.

I am currently reading Frances Kermeen’s “The Myrtles Plantation: The True Story of America’s Most Haunted House”. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the chilling tales of this home’s tragic history. Kermeen once owned the plantation from 1980-1990. Being from Baton Rouge, I have visited the Myrtles on several occasions, however I’d never known about all of the facts that she has revealed in this book. Buy it. You will not be disappointed.

Hey its Brookie like I know these stories r true cuz I like saw a picture of a little girl sittin on the staircase so lise yall who don’t believe shut up

My family and one of my best friends stayed at the Myrtles one night in August of 2008 in the Ruffin Sterling Room. My friend and I slept in the bed with my youngest son in between. My husband and 2 other sons slept on the floor. Strangley, we all got very sleepy by about 11:00 p.m. (normally at home my sons can stay up all night). So, by about 11:30, when we had all drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by fingers tickling my foot. I jumped up and yelled at my husband to stop it (and woke everyone up). I thought he had put his hand underneath the covers from the bottom of the bed and tickled my foot to scare me. He said he didn’t do anything. So I got up and tucked the covers tightly in between the mattresses so he couldn’t do it again ( or so I thought). Then we all went back to sleep . . . About 30 minutes later, my friend who was also in the bed beside me jumped up and said that HER feet had been tickled too (again, waking everyone up)! She said that she pushed against the fingers and felt a tiny child’s hand push back against her foot. As we were sitting up in the bed discussing it, we BOTH saw the covers move at the foot of the bed right in front of our eyes…and neither of us had our feet under the covers at the time!

Somehow, we all went BACK to SLEEP! Then about 45 minutes later, I woke up to the feeling of pressure on my legs like someone was trying to smooth the covers over me. I pulled my legs up from the foot of the bed and looked at the covers to see if I saw any movement. After a few minutes without anything happening, I thought it was probably my imagination and I stretched my legs back out to go back to sleep. However, when my feet reached the foot of the bed, they ran into fingers (and it was NOT my imagination–I was completely awake!!) I jumped out of bed and woke everyone up AGAIN and said I was not sleeping in the bed anymore. We could get back to sleep after that, so we got up and roamed around the grounds and talked to some of the other guests, sharing our stories. When we finally went back to our room, I slept on the floor the rest of the night but nothing else happend. It is REALLY haunted and we are planning to go back on Halloween this year for another night of GHOSTS!! I suggest you stay there and see if YOUR feet get tickled.

his sounds really cool… i am going to visit the plantation this summer and also im going to go visit the Oak Alley Plantation. I would reeally like to know if its really haunted.

chloe does in fact steal peoples stuff i staid there over night and she stole my sunglasses!!! me and a friend staid the night there and the door started opening by itself!!! and the porcelean dool was moved in a different spot everytime we returned to the room!!!! it is in fact a haunted house!!! i will visit there again but i will never stay there again over night!!! if you lik a good scare this is the place to go!!!

I have been to this place several times as a Parapsychologist and I have to say, unfortunately it is NOT haunted. A beautiful plantation home, yes but as many people do when wonderful, historic homes fall into disrepair the owners faked a few photos, raised some propaganda, and rigged the house. They got busted one night when the “footsteps” heard on the stairs turned out to be one of the people hired to “haunt” the house. Naturally they don’t expect anyone to actually open the door when someone hears wails and footsteps coming toward the door. Sorry guys. But it’s about as haunted as my boots.

I to have investigated the Myrtles several times.And I have heard things which when your sitting on the porch in the wee hours of the morning and the sounds of horses kicking gravel right in front of you and stopping is not an act. Nor is the smell that only one can pick up are made up. Believe me I know there are those that will try and scare you when you are doing work. That does not mean the place is not active. It only means there is too many there an you will not get a good investigation. And the time has to be right, as well as being open to spirits for something to happen. I have been with many that never see anything nor do I believe ever will. They just are not open to it.But everyone has an opinion and thats life. But I do know things happen at the Myrtles, I have had my personal experiences. Time stands still for no one .. but sometimes we get to experience the past. Peace and love..

This is the most stupit stuff ever

I have stayed at the B&B once before. My friend and I stayed in ( I believe it is called) The General’s Cottage. It is located right behind the gift shop/ kitchen area. Nothing happened to us while we were there. But then again we arrived at 1:00 AM, went straight to our room, and kept out eyes closed the entire time. I think staying inside the actual B&B might have provided for a different experience. The one we had was fine. We were alone that night, no one else was staying. We got there so late they had to tape our key, and map to the giftshop door. Being there alone can provide for a pretty scary night even if nothing happens! I’ve heard lots of stories, and in 8th grade ( about 10 years ago) I took a tour with our school and know what the supposed background is. It is a great place to stay , and even though nothing happened we made it through the night which alot of other people can not say they have. I’d advise anyone who wanted to stay that it is well worth the money, or even just to take a tour.

I HAVE NOT YET VISITED THE PLANTATION BECAUSE I CANNOT FIND ANYONE TO GO WITH ME. I LIVE IN JONESBORO, LOUISIANA, WHICH IS ABOUT 4 HOURS AWAY.
