And on today’s Dark enigma we’re going to be continuing our foray into the summer destinations with the most haunt for your buck. And today’s episode is a very lovely listener request from Suzanne in Louisiana, and she asked for an episode on the infamous Myrtle’s Plantation in St. Francisville LA, and as I’ve said before, I always take requests seriously, and Suzanne, this one is dedicated to you. As always, we will be playing our drinking game but remember, the drinking game is only for those who are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight. So for today’s game we can have a repeat of Southern Comfort, or if you prefer there is a fantastic drink called a Plantation Fever cocktail, so choice is yours on the libation, but as for the game… every time I say Myrtles that will be a single shot and every time I say Ghost, that’s a double shot. Alright, now that we have the business end out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… and the Legend of the Myrtle’s plantation The infamous Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana is widely considered one of the most haunted places in America. Located on 650 acres of land in St. Francisville, the homestead was built in 1796 by General David Bradford. Myrtle Plantation is visited by ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts alike, but just what lies within the walls of this exquisite mansion house, and can it really be the home to a dozen ghosts? The Deep South is well known for its rich history, and being at the centre of the American civil War and the Slave trade makes for some-grizzly tales of old. The Myrtles Plantation was built by General David Bradford,or ‘Whisky Dave’ of the Whiskey Rebellion, and this stunning mansion has seen its own share of horror over the years. Bradford was forced to flee from President George Washington’s army in 1794, because of his leadership role in the Whisky Rebellion. And when General Bradford arrived in Louisiana he obtained a Spanish land grant of roughly 650 acres. A wealthy judge and businessman from Washington County, Pennsylvania, Bradford showed interest in the area before the conclusion of the unsuccessful Whisky Rebellion forced him to settle there.
