00:00Deep in the American South, where the air is thick with humidity and history,
00:05lies the Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana.
00:10This grand old mansion, with its majestic wraparound veranda, blue trim, and 20 rooms,
00:18stands on high ground like a fortress, overlooking the surrounding landscape.
00:23It might look like something out of a storybook,
00:26but the Myrtles Plantation has a history that is anything but charming.
00:31Built in 1796 by General David Bradford, the plantation has seen its share of dark and tragic events.
00:39Over the years, it has earned a reputation as one of the most haunted places in America.
00:45Visitors and ghost hunters alike are drawn to its eerie atmosphere,
00:48hoping to catch a glimpse of the supernatural.
00:52The plantation's haunted history is deeply connected to the lives of the people who lived and died there.
00:59Tales of murder, betrayal, and revenge are woven into the fabric of the house,
01:04creating a legacy of fear and ghostly encounters that persist to this day.
01:09The Myrtles Plantation is more than just an old house.
01:12It is a place where the past refuses to stay buried,
01:16and the spirits of those who suffered there still linger, unable to find peace.
01:21This is a place where the line between the living and the dead is blurred,
01:26where shadows seem to move on their own,
01:29and where the air is heavy with the presence of those who met untimely deaths.
01:33As you walk through its rooms and hallways,
01:36you can almost feel the weight of the history pressing down on you,
01:40as if the walls themselves are trying to tell you their stories.
01:44In the following parts, we will explore the haunted history of the Myrtles Plantation,
01:50uncovering the tragic events that took place here,
01:53and the spirits that are said to haunt its grounds.
01:58From the mysterious death of Chloe, a house slave who sought revenge,
02:03to the tragic murder of William Winter on the front porch,
02:06the Myrtles Plantation is a place where the past refuses to be forgotten,
02:10and the spirits of the dead continue to make their presence known.
02:14The Myrtles Plantation has long been known as one of the most haunted places in America,
02:20and its reputation has only grown over the years.
02:24With its eerie atmosphere and tragic past,
02:28it's no wonder that stories of ghostly encounters have been passed down through generations.
02:34The plantation's dark history seems to be deeply embedded in its walls,
02:40with each tragic event adding to the layers of haunting that people experience today.
02:45The story of Chloe, the slave who was mutilated and later killed after poisoning the Woodruff family,
02:51is one of the most famous tales tied to the plantation.
02:55Her spirit is said to linger, unable to find peace after the horror she endured,
03:00and the tragic mistake that led to her death.
03:04Visitors and staff have reported seeing a ghostly figure wearing a green turban,
03:10believed to be Chloe, wandering the grounds.
03:12Some say they felt her presence, a cold, unsettling feeling that sends shivers down the spine.
03:19But Chloe is not the only spirit that is said to haunt the Myrtles.
03:23The plantation has been the site of many other deaths,
03:27each one adding to its haunted reputation.
03:30After Chloe's death, the plantation passed through the hands of several owners,
03:35some of whom met grim fates.
03:37One of the most well-known tragedies involved the Winters family,
03:41who moved into the plantation after it was sold to them.
03:45William Winter, who married one of the Sterling daughters,
03:48was a respected man in the community,
03:50but his life came to a violent end.
03:53On a cold January evening in 1871,
03:57Winter was shot on the front porch by an unknown assailant.
04:02Legend has it that after being shot,
04:04he staggered inside,
04:06trying to make his way up the stairs to reach his wife.
04:09He collapsed on the 17th step where he died.
04:13To this day,
04:14visitors claim to hear the sound of heavy footsteps on the staircase,
04:19always stopping on the 17th step,
04:22just as Winter did in his final moments.
04:27The Myrtles plantation is also said to be haunted,
04:31by the spirits of children.
04:33Some believe that the souls of the Woodruff children,
04:36who were poisoned by Chloe,
04:38remain trapped in the house.
04:40There are reports of children's laughter,
04:43small footsteps,
04:44and even the sight of ghostly figures,
04:47of children playing in the hallways.
04:50One of the most chilling stories involves a mirror,
04:53in the grand hallway,
04:55where the images of Sarah Woodruff,
04:57and her children are said to appear.
05:00Despite numerous attempts to replace or repair the mirror,
05:03handprints and strange marks always seem to reappear,
05:07as if the spirits refuse to be forgotten.
05:10These stories have made the Myrtles plantation a popular destination
05:14for ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts.
05:17Over the years,
05:19many have come to experience the hauntings for themselves,
05:21and countless visitors have left with stories of unexplained events,
05:25strange noises,
05:27and ghostly apparitions.
05:30The plantation's dark history,
05:32and reputation as a haunted location,
05:34have made it a place where the line between the living
05:36and the dead seems to blur,
05:39leaving those who visit with a lingering sense of unease.
05:43The haunting experiences at the Myrtles plantation
05:46are not confined to just the well-known tales
05:49of Chloe and William Winter.
05:52The entire property
05:53seems to be steeped in an eerie atmosphere
05:56that affects all who visit.
06:00Many guests have reported feeling
06:02an overwhelming sense of dread
06:04as they approach the plantation,
06:05as if the spirits residing there
06:07are watching their every move.
06:09The house itself exudes a certain heaviness,
06:12with cold spots and unexplained drafts
06:15that seem to follow visitors from room to room.
06:19One of the most active areas in the plantation
06:21is the old slave quarters.
06:23Though the original building no longer stands,
06:26the area where it once existed
06:28is said to be a hotspot for paranormal activity.
06:31Some visitors claim to have heard
06:32the faint sound of chains rattling,
06:35or soft whispers in the night.
06:37Believed to be the voices of the enslaved people
06:40who once lived and worked on the plantation.
06:43Others have felt an invisible force
06:45brushing against them,
06:47or tugging at their clothes,
06:49as if the spirits are trying to make their presence known.
06:52The plantation's Grand Hall
06:53is another place where the supernatural
06:56is often experienced.
06:57The infamous mirror,
06:59where the spirits of Sarah Woodruff
07:01and her children are said to appear,
07:04is a focal point for many ghostly encounters.
07:08Guests have reported seeing fleeting reflections
07:10of figures in old-fashioned clothing,
07:13only to turn around and find no one there.
07:17Even more unsettling are the handprints
07:21that seem to appear on the glass,
07:23no matter how often the mirror is cleaned or replaced.
07:27It's as if the spirits are leaving a permanent mark,
07:30a reminder of the tragic history that haunts the house.
07:34The upstairs bedrooms are no less eerie.
07:38Several guests have claimed to wake up in the middle of the night
07:41to see ghostly figures
07:42standing at the foot of their beds.
07:45These apparitions are often described
07:47as women in period clothing,
07:49their expressions forlorn
07:50as they stare silently at the living.
07:53The feeling of being watched
07:54is almost palpable,
07:56and many have left the plantation
07:58unable to shake the feeling
07:59that they were never truly alone during their stay.
08:03Outside the house,
08:05the grounds of the Myrtles Plantation
08:07are equally unsettling.
08:08The ancient oak trees,
08:10draped in Spanish moss,
08:12seem to whisper secrets of the past
08:14as the wind blows through their branches.
08:17Visitors have seen shadowy figures
08:19moving among the trees,
08:21and some have even reported
08:22hearing the faint sound of children's laughter
08:25coming from the gardens,
08:27though no children are present.
08:29The atmosphere is thick
08:31with the weight of history,
08:32and it's easy to imagine
08:34the spirits of those who once lived
08:36and died on the plantation
08:38still lingering among the trees and pathways.
08:41Perhaps the most disturbing experiences
08:43are those that occur at the spot
08:45where William Winter was shot.
08:47Many have reported hearing gunshots
08:49echoing through the night,
08:51followed by the sound of footsteps
08:53running up the staircase.
08:54The footsteps always stop on the 17th step,
08:57just as Winter's did
08:59before he collapsed and died.
09:02Some say they have even seen
09:03a shadowy figure on the porch,
09:05a dark silhouette
09:07that disappears as quickly as it appears,
09:10leaving behind an overwhelming sense
09:12of sorrow and loss.
09:14The Myrtles Plantation is a place
09:16where the past seems to cling to the present,
09:19where the spirits of those who suffered
09:21and died cannot find peace.
09:24It's a place where the boundaries
09:26between the living and the dead are blurred,
09:29and where the echoes of history
09:30can still be heard in the creaking floors,
09:33the rustling leaves,
09:34and the silent, watchful eyes of the spirits
09:37that call the plantation home.
09:40Beyond the well-documented encounters,
09:43there are countless stories
09:44from visitors and paranormal investigators
09:47who have experienced the unexplained
09:49at the Myrtles Plantation.
09:51These accounts add layers of mystery
09:53to a place already rich with ghostly tales.
09:56One particularly chilling phenomenon
09:59reported by visitors
10:00involves disembodied voices heard late at night.
10:04These voices, often muffled and indistinct,
10:08seem to carry on conversations
10:10that no living person can understand,
10:13as though echoes of the past
10:15are trapped in the walls of the house,
10:17endlessly replaying moments long forgotten.
10:22In the dining room,
10:23visitors have occasionally witnessed
10:25the apparition of a man
10:26dressed in military attire,
10:28seated at the head of the table.
10:30He is often described
10:31as having a stern expression,
10:34his gaze fixed on an unknown point,
10:36as if contemplating something from his past.
10:39This figure is believed by some
10:41to be that of General David Bradford,
10:43the original owner of the plantation,
10:46who seems unable to leave the place he built.
10:49The sight of this spectral figure,
10:51sitting silently in the dimly lit room,
10:54has left many guests
10:55feeling an overwhelming sense of unease.
10:58There are also reports
10:59of strange occurrences in the children's room.
11:02Visitors have described
11:03the unsettling experience
11:05of hearing soft crying
11:07or the sound of tiny footsteps,
11:09accompanied by the feeling
11:10of a cold, unseen presence
11:12brushing past them.
11:14Some have even claimed
11:15to see small handprints
11:16appearing on the walls and windows,
11:18as if the spirits of children
11:20are reaching out
11:21to make themselves known.
11:22These occurrences are particularly eerie,
11:25because they are often accompanied
11:27by a sudden drop in temperature,
11:29a telltale sign of a paranormal presence.
11:32Another unexplained phenomenon
11:34involves the grand staircase,
11:36a centerpiece of the Myrtles Plantation's interior.
11:40On more than one occasion,
11:42guests have reported feeling an unseen force,
11:45pushing or pulling them
11:47as they ascend or descend the stairs.
11:50Some describe the sensation
11:51as a firm hand on their back,
11:54guiding them as they walk,
11:55while others have experienced
11:57a sudden, inexplicable dizziness
11:59that makes them feel
12:01as though the ground beneath them
12:02is shifting.
12:03These experiences are so common
12:05that some visitors refuse
12:07to use the staircase at all,
12:09opting instead to take
12:11a less direct route through the house.
12:13Outside the main house,
12:15the plantation grounds
12:16hold their own share of eerie stories.
12:19One particularly unsettling tale
12:21involves the old well
12:24located near the house.
12:26Visitors have reported
12:27hearing the sound of splashing water
12:29and faint cries coming from the well,
12:32even though it has been dry
12:33for many years.
12:35The area around the well
12:36is often described as feeling colder
12:39than the rest of the grounds,
12:41with some people reporting
12:43a sense of dread
12:44as they approach it,
12:45as if the spirits connected
12:46to the well are still trapped there,
12:49unable to move on.
12:51The Myrtles Plantation
12:52is also known
12:53for its unpredictable
12:54and sometimes violent
12:55physical manifestations.
12:57Furniture has been known
12:58to move on its own,
13:00doors slam shut
13:01without any apparent cause,
13:02and objects sometimes disappear
13:04only to reappear
13:05in strange places.
13:07These events often happen
13:09without warning,
13:09leaving those
13:11who witnessed them shaken
13:12and unable to explain
13:13what they have just seen.
13:15The unpredictability
13:16of these occurrences
13:17adds to the fear
13:19as visitors never know
13:20when they might be confronted
13:21by the unknown.
13:23The plantation's reputation
13:25as a haunted location
13:26is further solidified
13:28by the numerous
13:29electronic voice phenomena,
13:31EVP recordings,
13:33captured by paranormal investigators.
13:35These recordings often reveal voices
13:38or sounds that were not heard
13:40during the time of recording,
13:41providing eerie evidence
13:43that something or someone
13:44still lingers
13:46within the walls
13:46of the Myrtles Plantation.
13:48The voices captured
13:50in these recordings
13:51range from whispers
13:52to full sentences,
13:53some sounding desperate
13:54or angry,
13:56others calm

14:38where the past continues to live on,
14:40refusing to be forgotten.
14:43What makes the Myrtles Plantation
14:45particularly fascinating
14:46is not just the sheer number
14:48of ghost stories
14:49associated with it,
14:50but the way these stories
14:52seem to intertwine
14:53with the very fabric
14:54of the building itself.
14:55Each creak of the floorboards,
14:57each flicker of the candlelight,
14:59and each sudden chill
15:00in the air
15:01serves as a reminder
15:02that this is a place
15:04where history is ever-present,
15:06where the boundary
15:07between the living and the dead
15:08feels particularly thin.
