Are you ready to tread the eerie corridors of the infamous Myrtle's Plantation? With a reputation that would send chills down the bravest of spines, this 22-room house in St Francisville, Louisiana, is shrouded in chilling tales and spine-tingling sightings. This week, we will walk you through its twisted history, introducing you to the people who once called it home and those who, some believe, have never really left.

Our journey starts with the builder, General David Bradford, and carries through to the various occupants who have filled its rooms over the centuries. But the story that will truly have you on tenterhooks is that of Chloe, a former slave whose tragic decisions have forever tinted the history of the plantation. Learn about her desperate attempts to regain status within the household that led to deaths, vengeance, and a ghostly presence that still haunts the plantation.

However, the spectral encounters don't end with Chloe. The research we have conducted also uncovers the unsolved murder of William Winter, a previous owner of the house, who was shot under the most puzzling circumstances. We’ll delve into the haunting tales of a mirror alleged to contain trapped spirits and a young girl who took her last breath within the house's walls in 1868. From the pillaging of the house during the Civil War to the chilling sightings of spirits, this week’s episode promises a deep dive into the chilling past of Myrtle's Plantation. Prepare to be thrilled, chilled, and have your curiosity piqued.
