Episode 92: Myrtles Plantation: The Most Haunted House in America


Listen Later

In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa will discuss the most haunted place in America; the Myrtles Plantation of St. Francisville, Louisiana.


"General" David Bradford of Pennsylvania fled to the territory of Louisiana in 1794 after getting into some trouble with first President George Washington over the excise tax or slang the Whiskey Rebellion situation.


Once he landed in Louisiana, he purchased some land to settle for his family and built what he called Laurel Grove which was a modest eight room home.


In 1832, a man named Ruffin Gray Stirling purchases Laurel Grove and renovates a large addition to the home taking the eight rooms to twenty-two and renames the place the Myrtles Plantation.


What we'll discuss in this episode is all of the owner's, their history, the deaths, the lore, and my own personal overnight experience in 2007.
