Chilling images from the Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana, supposedly show 'ghosts' terrorizing tour groups as they explore the 18th century property. Images of ghostly children have been captured at a property dubbed one of America's "most haunted" homes.
A paranormal photo has been circulating on X (formerly known as Twitter) this week, but originated on Facebook in 2023 courtesy of the Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana. It shows a tour group exploring the 18th century house, alongside an unsettling figure. Resembling a young girl dressed in dated clothing, she is slightly visible in the bottom right corner. The Myrtles Plantation captioned the creepy capture: "Looks like somebody wanted to tag along on this recent tour of the @the_myrtles... Could this be one of the Woodruff children?"
Clarke Woodruff and his wife Sara took over operation of the plantation in 1817. They had three offspring, but two of them tragically died of yellow fever. These two unfortunate souls are believed to be among the many spirits that haunt the Myrtles Plantation. Another alleged ghostly inhabitant is a slave named Chloe, who was supposedly hanged on the property (despite no historical evidence confirming her existence).
Today, the Myrtles Plantation is included in the National Register of Historic Places in the US, heralding itself as "one of America's most haunted homes". It features a restaurant and hotel for brave guests.
