Show Notes
In this episode of True Paranormal Stories, we uncover the terrifying legends surrounding The Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana—widely considered one of the most haunted homes in America. Built in 1796, this beautiful Southern mansion hides a history of murders, tragic deaths, and lingering spirits.
The most famous ghost is Chloe, a former enslaved woman said to have been executed after poisoning her owner's family. Her spirit, wearing a green turban, is frequently seen on the grounds. Other spectral residents include ghost children, a murdered man named William Winter (whose footsteps allegedly stop at the 17th stair), and apparitions seen in mirrors and windows.
Now a functioning bed and breakfast, the Myrtles continues to attract guests and ghost hunters who report cold spots, disembodied voices, shadow figures, and unexplainable phenomena.
The Myrtles Plantation remains a haunting symbol of the American South's dark and mysterious past.
