LOCATION
Why is Myrtles Plantation said to be haunted?
Built in 1796 by planter David Bradford on land near St. Francisville, Louisiana, the Myrtles Plantation was worked by enslaved laborers before passing through several owners tied to a string of documented and rumored deaths, including at least one killing on the property's front gallery. Its most famous ghost story, that of an enslaved woman named "Chloe" who allegedly poisoned a birthday cake and killed members of the family, has never been substantiated in any historical record and is now widely regarded by researchers as a later embellishment layered onto the home's genuinely tangled and often violent past, added to draw tourists during 20th-century "haunted house" tours. Visitors nonetheless report a repeating handprint that reappears on a mirror no matter how often it is cleaned, and the sound of a phantom piano playing in empty rooms. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978, the plantation now operates as a bed-and-breakfast.
