Haunted Homes: The Myrtles Plantation

Halloween has passed, but that doesn’t mean the spirits no longer walk the earth, inhabit homes, or toss furniture around! Whether or not you believe in the paranormal, haunted houses are always sure-fire topics of fascination.

So let’s start with The Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana. I will now insert a creepy picture of said establishment to get us in the mood…

Now that we’re feeling jumpy and looking over our shoulders, let’s go on.

The Myrtles Plantation has been called “One of America’s Most Haunted Homes” though these days it would be more aptly titled “One of America’s Most Haunted B&Bs” for if you so desire, you too could experience the creepy-factor up close and personal.

The B&B has 11 rooms, and wedding and reception facilities if ghosts and hauntings are your idea of a romantic getaway. Nothing like having an otherwordly audience during your honeymoon …

But whatever your idea of fun, the Myrtles Plantation is sure to deliver with daily tours of the mansion, ranging from historical to mysterious – oooooh. Naturally, the ‘mysterious’ tours are conducted in the evenings when the likelihood of you peeing your pants is higher.

This beautiful (though haunted) home spans over two centuries. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, be sure to check out the room rates. Also, if any of you tuned into the Montel Williams Show on Halloween, the Myrtles Plantation was featured. Too bad I missed it.
