Today, we invite you to go from our hand in the beautiful lands of Louisiana, in St.Francisville.We will talk about Indian cemeteries, haunted mirrors and especially Cloe , a beautiful slave who continues to ask for revenge for everything suffered in those days Forgotten by the majority..
The senorial plantation built on an Indian cemetery
It is not mu and large.The Myrtlles estate in St.Francisville was not a property of those considered ostentatious; Perhaps because its owner, David Bradford , did not want to draw special attention when he built it in 1796, lifting it over an old Indian cemetery.
He had problems with the law, had formed part of a small rebellion and could not lead a normal life until President John Adams, I forgive him.It was then that he could afford to start a respectable existence, bringing his wife and his three refugee children in Pennsylvania But life was not easy for his family, they were not comfortable in that farm that Mr.Bradford had built.

There was a presence that always used to be around the house.It was a woman, a Indigenous who watched them from the distance with discomfort and revulsion for having raised their residence in a sacred place.However, they tried to spend short periods in the farm, spending more time in another house and residing there during the summer seasons.
But difficult years came and Mr.Bradford's children were forced to take refuge in the farm during the Civil War, at which time the house was ransacked several times, killing several family members.One of the most frequent phenomena that are usually seen in Myrtles, is a bloodstain quite striking at the entrance door, where they killed one of the women in a very violent way.
The story of the slave Cloe
One of the most famous ghosts of this hacienda , is Cloe's.She was a beautiful slave of color owned by Mark and Sara Woodruff, descendants of David Bradford, between 1831 and 1845.Given her elegance, beauty and education, she forced her to be the Mark Woodruff's personal lover, against his will.But Cloe was an intelligent and intentional woman For a long time not only to escape from the house, but to denounce the illegal businesses that were carried out there (sales, extortion, torture of slaves...).It is known that on one occasion, they found her listening behind the doors, from there that they cut off an ear, detail that she tried to hide with a green turban.

Hence, every time she makes an appearance today in the house, she is recognized for it.By that ear hidden under a green weave and a nice collection.But the story goes even further.Cloe's despair was such that he devised an extreme plan to free himself from his punishment: poisoning.He drew up a birthday cake to Mr.Woodruff and in the essence of oleander, those plants that grew in the garden and were extremely poisonous.

But unfortunately the idea went wrong and the results were disastrous.Far from getting Mark Woodruff to eat it, it was his wife and the two little girls who did it… Dying shortly after a painful and fearsome .Can you imagine what the result of such a disaster was? They hung her on the porch of the farm.Some research tells us that maybe Sara Woodruff and the girls could actually die of yellow fever, but it's something that is not clear.

Be that as it may, there is something many say since then: In one of the mirrors in the living room of the house, the sick faces of Sara and her two girls usually appear.While on the porch, that beautiful woman of color dressed with a green turban.The supernatural manifestations are so frequent that to this day, Myrtles Plantation is a pilgrimage center for every mystery lover.Whoever wishes, can request accommodation here and start their own investigations.In fact, they are said to be 10 the presences that can be noticed in this beautiful but disturbing place, inhabited by history, tragedy and cos from a past that keeps whispering to us.
