The Haunted Plantation With a Story History Cannot Confirm

The Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana is famous for its ghost stories—but how much of its most famous legend can history actually confirm? In this Hidden Logs documentary, we investigate the history of Laurel Grove, the Woodruff family deaths, the legend of Chloe, and the 1871 murder of William Winter. We separate documented events from later retellings and examine how an old plantation became one of America's best-known haunted locations. This is a research-led historical investigation. Paranormal accounts are presented as reports and folklore, not as independently proven supernatural events.
