The Myrtles Plantation

The Myrtles Plantation located in St. Francisville, Louisiana is said to be the most haunted house ever. Rumor has it that multiple murders occurred at this residence, however, only one murder can be confirmed. A former owner of the house was shot on the front porch and made his way back in the house and up the steps before he died. His footsteps are said to be heard on those steps. Other hauntings could be from family members and slaves that died while living in the house. The Myrtles Plantation is currently open for business as a bed and breakfast and guided tours are also offered.
