re: Need input on The Myrtles Plantation

[quote]Do you have the freedom at night (as a guest of the plantation) to roam throughout the house?

No...you can roam to your car and back to your cabin. Maybe you will see "Chloe" near a tree in the gravel parking lot.

Did you get a chance to converse with other guests throughout the night?

This is not a swingers club.

And how soundproof are the walls and doors?

Good lord son. This is a plantation house with small cabins. What the hell u plan on doing? You will more than likely be next to some blue hair from Dallas who goes to bed at 8:00pm.

Did you or your significant other experience anything that could be classified as paranormal?

I experienced something I could not explain when I stayed in one of the new cabins. I stayed in a cabin with a couple of people. Yes, if you stay in the cabins you can roam the grounds at night for a long as you like. We brought an ice chest and drank on the porch once the sun went down. The cabin beds have some really thin blankets and scratchy sheets, there is a frequently- traveled road behind the cabins, and the central heat is really loud. I had one of my worst night's sleep there.

The major unexplained thing that happened to us was a really loud noise in the middle of the night. It sounded like a stack of books were being dropped from chest high directly onto the floor. It was loud enough that it woke up myself and another person in the room. I knew it wasn't the heater kicking on.

We took the last tour of the night and the first tour of the morning. We learned about Chloe in the evening tour, and how she likes to play tricks on people and steals earrings. On the evening tour there was no earring in the teacup. When we took the morning tour I peeked into the room before the group entered to see if there was going to be a an earring in the teacup. Although there wasn't an earring in the teacup, someone pointed out that there was a single earring next to the saucer. It was fun and "freaky". The other freaky thing was a silhouette of a head and shoulders on the wall in the day bedroom on the first floor. I pointed it out to the tourguide at night, and she said it happens from time to time. I watched to see if it was just a shadow being cast my someone or thing in the room, but I watched people walk by and the silhouette did not move and other shadows moved over it.

Stayed with my family in main house years ago. On this night there was a group of people talking on the patio around 10:00pm and a group of young girls just walked over to their cabin close to the patio. I saw a rake in the yard by the patio. Me and my son grabbed the rake snuck around the side of the cabin and scratched on their shutter. These girls ran out screaming back to the patio. The crowd freaked out and dispersed. We laughed all night!!! Those girls probably didn't sleep a wink!!

Stay in one of the cottages at Butler-Greenwood a few miles away. They're fabulous. Take the tour at The Myrtles.

Was down in St. Francisville just this past weekend. Nice little town and beautiful plantation homes.

This may actually work. Wife has said repeatedly that she won't spend the night at The Myrtles. So ... a tour and dinner at The Francis could be an option. And breakfast the next morning after our overnight stay the Butler-Greenwood.

I do not recommend the restaurant. I ordered a grilled shrimp salad but they were really sautéed. They still expected me to pay 50%. Will not be going back

SO and I stayed in the General Bradford Suite 4 years ago. It was a pretty cool night. I would recommend that room...but as others have said not the restaurant.

Ghost or no ghost, which room is recommended?

Dude, the place isn't haunted. They make a lot of money on people thinking its haunted.
