Stay Overnight In The 223-Year-Old Myrtles Plantation, An Allegedly Haunted Spot In Louisiana
Louisiana certainly is no stranger to the paranormal. We have countless cemeteries, restaurants, and bars peppered throughout the state that are believed to be paranormal hotspots. The Myrtles Plantation over in St. Francisville is known as one of the most haunted homes in the country and you can rent a room and spend a few days there if you’d like.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate

Address: 7747 U S Highway 61, Saint Francisville, LA 70775

At the time, the area we know as St. Francisville was under Spanish rule.

Every owner has left their mark on the historic property, either through renovations, decor, or something else…

But it might not be that quiet, as the plantation is known as being one of the most haunted homes in the country.

And you could have a paranormal encounter with any one of them while you’re there.

Historical records have indicated that there was only one reported murder.

You might just hear his dying footsteps during your stay.

Chloe was a slave who was owned by Clark and Sara Woodruff, who lived at the plantation from 1817 until around 1831. As the legend goes, Chloe was caught eavesdropping on the Woodruffs and one of her ears was cut off as punishment. In retaliation, Chloe baked a cake that contained oleander leaves, which are extremely poisonous. Her intent was to kill Clark, but her plan backfired and Sara and her children all died from the poison. Chloe was hanged and then thrown into the Mississippi River, but many believe she still haunts the property. There are several pictures of guests that believe that Chloe has appeared in their photos, and you can see for yourself by clicking here.
