Camping in Louisiana can include tours of some exciting haunted places. Written by our own Stacey Bennett, this article is about the haunted plantation, The Myrtles...
A few years ago I went to the Myrtles Plantation in Saint Francisville, LA. I was there talking with the owner about taking on the task of writing a huge screenplay and filming the movie right there on the land.
The history is amazing. Supposely the house and other quarters are resting on top of an old Indian burial ground - which eventually became a burial ground for many civil war soliders and slaves.
The owner back in the 1900's was having affair with a black slave - who would listen in on all his business conversations and family talks. One day he caught her and sliced off her left ear.
In revenge, she poisoned his wife and 2 daughters - all of them died. The slave was hung and not too far after that the owner was found dead by what some people think was - Death by Fright.
Since the plantation became a bed-and-breakfest - many people say they see and hear many interesting and scary things.
A young Indian girl sitting on the porch in a rocking chair, a old man stopping cars warning them not to enter the plantation's property, 2 little girls playing around the main water well, a little boy sitting on the roof and trees. There is so many stories that would/will blow your mind.
I personally have had something strange happen. While filming a walkthrough I experienced a large dark shadow engulfed my camera lens for about 10 seconds. But, I never knew it until my crew and I looked back at the tape.
So, if you're in Saint Francisville or even around the area. Go and check out the Myrtles Plantation. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
If anyone, by chance, does catch something. Feel free in sending me a word and let me what you thought about your supernatural experience.
