Summary

Tucked away in Louisiana, surrounded by mossy oaks, sits Myrtles Plantation, a stunning antebellum mansion with a dark side. This former plantation, now a bed and breakfast, is said to be one of the most haunted places in America. Guests report all sorts of strange events, from unexplained noises and cold spots to full-on apparitions. One of the most famous ghostly residents is Chloe, an enslaved woman who met a tragic end.

But Chloe isn't the only restless spirit said to roam Myrtles. The plantation is also home to stories of a murdered lawyer, the playful spirits of children, a mysterious phantom butler, and even a haunted mirror. What is it about this beautiful plantation that makes it such a magnet for paranormal activity? Is it the tragic history of slavery and violence? Or could it be something more?
