Serial Killers and Haunted Places

The Myrtles Plantation

In St.Francisville, Louisiana The Mytrles Plantation was built in 1796 by Gen. David Bradford and was the site of as many as 10 murders. As the legend goes, Chloe, a slave on the plantation, had one of her ears chopped off by her master for eavesdropping on the family of fear that the master's wife would find out the slave master was sleeping around with his slaves. Chloe sought revenge by baking a poisonous cake intended for her master. The plan didn't work as intended, and she killed two of her slave master's daughters and his wife. Chloe was then hanged for her crime by other servants for the reason that they were afraid of what the master would do when he found out it was Chloe who has poisoned his family. Taking matters into their own hands they hung her by a nearby tree and when she was for sure dead they cut her down and threw her lifeless body into the river. Chloe and the girls she killed still haunt the grounds of the plantation to this day. Chloe can be seen with the same turban she wore when living to hide her missing ear.

Researchers haven't been able to prove that a slave named Chloe ever existed on the plantation,  she was never recorded as a slave by that name. And though master's wife and children did die, they weren't poisoned.

In the 1970s the plantation was turned into a bed and breakfast,  guests can stay and eat in the same house Chloe presumably haunts. Guestrooms will cost between $115 and $230 a night. Guests can also take mysterious night tours and historic tours in the day.

Guests have reported of hearing strange noises others saw ghostly apparitions often of a young girl in a turban. people have seen young girls in antebellum clothing in the windows, others say they have seen the master's children in the mirror near the room they died in.
