St. Francisville Myrtles Plantation — Chloe Legend

The Myrtles Plantation, built in 1796, is widely called America's most haunted home and the site of at least 10 murders. The spirit of Chloe — an enslaved woman who allegedly poisoned the Woodruff family's birthday cake — appears in photographs so consistently that her image in a green turban and dress has been used in marketing materials for decades. The 'ghost mirror' in the entry hall shows handprints that cannot be removed, supposedly left by victims of a yellow fever epidemic. The house's children apparitions are reported most often by guests in the William Winter Room.
