I’ve stayed there myself. Some of the stories in this version were altered/shortened – no doubt due to space – based on what I heard while I was there.

Well, I am from South Louisiana and simply love these old homes and their stories. I have been to the Myrtles several times and have witnessed unusual happenings (in fact, about one year ago).

Its fun and no one should be so serious about it. The food is wonderful and the beds are very comfortable.

Everyone should experience it!

“Most sources I read said although the stories of murder are mostly BS (only one documented murder -that of William Winter), a lot of people died in this home over the years from disease and other causes.”

This is often stated as a reason for hauntings on old houses, but nearly if not all, old houses would have a long history of death, since this is how a house was passed on from one generation to another.

@David & Brit,
Although I do love a good ghost story (and am dying to go to Myrtles) I’m glad I’m not the only one on here with a slightly cynical (sometimes sarcastically so) nature.
ReCaptcha:robertenormity,coincidentally I got to this post by reading Stacey’s 7 Haunted Objects post,including one about the creepiest doll named Robert.

>>>I just read about this on Sunday while flying in one of those magazines in the back of the seat.

@FrankieA – you must save a lot of money on airfares if you can get those magazines to fly about and take you from place to place. How very green.

>>>Today, footsteps can be heard on those stairs when no one is there.

If no one is there, who is hearing the footsteps?

Marie Antoinette: the post wasn’t fun for me to read. History can be pretty inconvenient.

Thanks for the info Miss Cellania.

Josey, the best corroborated story is that Woodruff was a devoted husband and never had a slave named Chloe. He did own slaves, however.

Someone always has to ruin these fun posts.
