From haunted bars to spooky cemeteries, Louisiana is no stranger to the paranormal. Nestled underneath canopies of ancient oaks lies a historic little bed and breakfasts that might just be one of the most beautiful spots in the state..but it’s also one of the most haunted. Let’s check it out.
Built in 1796, the Myrtles Plantation is a stunningly beautiful historic Creole cottage located in St. Francisville.
The ghost stories have been swirling around this paranormal hotspot for years. Countless guests have reported paranormal experiences, previous owners of the plantation have had unexplainable events occur, and several paranormal teams have come to investigate the alleged hauntings.

While the plantation is rumored to be haunted by as many as twelve ghosts, the spirit of one particular ghost is by far the most well known.
As the legend goes, Chloe was a slave at the plantation a number of years ago. After being caught eavesdropping by the owners of the plantation, one of her ears was cut off as punishment. She wore a green turban around her head to cover up her wound.
Her plan backfired, and Clark’s wife and two daughters ended up dying from the poisonous cake. The other slaves then hanged her and threw her into the Mississippi River to escape punishment from Clark Woodruff.
If that wasn’t enough to spook you, the plantation is also rumored to be built over an Indian burial ground.
Many believe that this is the spirit of William Drew Winter, who was murdered in the house and collapsed on the 17th stair trying to escape his murderer. It’s not uncommon to hear strange disembodied footsteps on the staircase.
The Myrtles Plantation is located at 7747 US Hwy. 61, Saint Francisville, Louisiana 70775.
