The Myrtles

This past weekend, Mr Sweetie and I visited The Myrtles Plantation . This plantation home is known as "One of America's Most Haunted Homes". Now, I do like to watch things on t.v. or at the movies about scary things. However, seeing them up-close and personal gave me an uneasy feeling. We enjoyed the tour though, and I wanted to share it with you all.

This is what you see when you first arrive for the tour. (The front of the house, which is a bed and breakfast) I will never ever never sleep there, I can promise you that!

These are some statues located in front of the front steps of the house. I find them very pretty.

This is the back of the house and where you enter for the tour of the inside. To the left of this picture is where the gift shop is located and directly behind where I am taking the photo, is a restaurant.

This cute little gazebo is behind the house, across a bridge that goes across a small pond.

Here I am standing in the gazebo. Hoping and praying that when the photo came out there would be be no ghostly figure anywhere in my vicinity!
Tours start every hour on the hour and you are only able to take photos in the front entryway. I took this one of the mirror. This mirror has been known to have some sort of 'cloudy' figure in it when photographed, but alas, I had none in mine. Whew!
This piano is never played by anyone, but the tour guide says that overnight guests have heard it playing during the night. When. Nobody. Is. There!!



This chandelier was purchased in France and now graces the entryway of the home. It is said that young children can 'see' a young blonde girl playing in it (yikes) and that when they clean it, they find blonde hairs in it. I don't believe THAT! This clock supposedly goes off at around 3a.m. and it has no inner workings. The tour guide says that when they prove that fact to guests, they can't get out of the room fast enough.

There were four other rooms that we were able to view, but no photos were allowed. The tour guide kept looking at me and smiling or laughing because of the freaked out faces I was making. I tell you, I did not want to experience anything out of the ordinary.




This photo is of the back porch. I would personally love to have one like this at my home, complete with the nice rocking chairs.


This cute little house is set back aways on the property and I am not sure if it was a place for the slaves to live in back in the day or what. I thought it was pretty neat :)As we made our way around, back to the front of the house, I got a photo from the other side.

I really enjoyed the tour. The story behind the house and the history and people who lived there was very interesting. However, like I said before, I would never, ever, never sleep in this house!

Tune in tomorrow for where we went next......
