Hey everyone! Just thought I'd share this story about Myrtles Plantation in St Francisville,La(outside of New Orleans). It is a really neat bed & breakfast that in notorious for being haunted.
When I was around 7 years old, my mother & her friend had gone to Baton Rouge for a convention & all the hotels in the immediate area were full. One place referred them to Myrtles. They had a few rooms open, so that is where my mom ended up staying. She had no idea the reputation of this place and she is not so much a believer in the paranormal.
She said in the middle of the night, it sounded like some strange wedding ceremony was going on, but when they opened the door, no one was in the hall. Then, they could hear a baby crying in the closet, but the door would not open. A while later when they tried the door again, it opened with no problem. A lot of other really strange stuff happened, and needless to say, they did not get any sleep & left first thing the next morning!!
Well, since then, I have been "obsessed" with finding out all the info I can on Myrtles. I had always wanted to go there for myself. Finally, my husband & I went there around Halloween about 2 years ago. We have a video camera with night vision on it, so we left that running while we slept. There were several "orbs" on the film, but I am sure they are mostly dust in an old home like that. There was one instance where you can hear me start saying gibberish & my husband doesn't know what is going on. I was having a night terror(half awake half asleep) & saw roses floating above my head. In my mind, I was saying "Do you see that? Do you see the roses?" but it sure did not come out like that!!! Also, I hear footsteps in our room all night long. We were the only ones staying in that wing of the house, so I wasn't hearing anyone around us.
I haven't had time to watch the entire video & I haven't gotten any of my film developed(I have to find it!!), but as soon as I do, I will let everyone know if I find anything.
So, my question is...Has anyone else been to Myrtles Plantation, and if so, did you have any strange experiences?? I would love to hear about it!
