Myrtles Plantation

Louisiana · United States · Herrgård · Scare 4/5

Legend tells of the enslaved woman Chloe, who lost an ear and is said to walk in her green turban — though historians doubt the tale.

Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana, built in 1796, is often called one of America’s most haunted homes. Its best-known legend concerns Chloe, an enslaved woman said to have had an ear cut off and to have worn a green turban to hide it, and to have poisoned the family’s children with oleander. Historians note there is no record of Chloe and that the deaths were from yellow fever — yet the plantation still tells of mirrors, ghostly children and figures on the veranda.
