With hardly anything new on TV tonight, I flipped on an old episode of Ghost Hunters on SCI FI mostly because it had to do with The Myrtles Plantation. A couple of years ago, I read the book written by the Myrtles owner and it was a fascinating tale. The Myrtles is called one of the most haunted places in America and it sure seems to be true.

The stories of the Myrtles involve a slave girl named Chloe who can be seen in THIS famous photo. People also report seeing and hearing two little girls and a Confederate soldier who likes to stroll along the front lawn. Also take a look at THIS creepy Myrtles pic.

The TAPS crew ended up with some interesting findings - especially a transparent image that runs across the thermal camera and a moving lamp! Yep, a lamp moves across a table right before your very eyes! The creepiest thing though was a hunched shadow that pops up in the front door windows as if someone were peaking in then ducking down to hide. That was truly creepy.

The Myrtles is a bed and breakfast near New Orleans so you can book a room and do a little ghost hunting yourself if you’ve a mind to. And if you haven’t read The Myrtles Plantation: The True Story of America’s Most Haunted House, you must check it out, it’s a disturbing story of how a haunted house can literally drive you crazy.

Here are a couple of other Myrtles websites.
