I don't know if you believe or not in ghosts and paranormal phenomena, if they scare you we highly reccomend you not to stay at this bed and breakfast, which recently has been mentioned as one of America's most haunted homes. The Myrtles Plantation was built by general David Bradford in the town of St. Francisville, Louisiana, in 1796, with the name of Laurel Grove.
In over two centuries the building has had different names and owners, until 1950, when Marjorie Munson started to talk about weird things happening inside and around the building. The word of mouth gets bigger with time, the ghosts legend grows, and spreads even outside of Louisiana. In fact, in 1970, the owner wrote a book about the misteries of the place.
Recently the new owners, John and Teeta Moss, turned the building in a bed and breakfast, which claims to host at least 12 ghosts, including the ghost of a young indian girl, and the one of the slave Chloe, who, according to the legend, was forced by her owner to be his lover. Moreover there is a haunted mirror, which is said to host the old housemistress. Every now and then you can see their hands and fingerprints on it. If you're not 21 yet make sure to have an adult with you, or you won't be allowed inside... except if you are just a tourist who wants to join a "Mistery Tour". The most superstitious among you can also buy voodoo dolls.. but you'd better be careful with those :)
