The Myrtles Plantation – podcast – pt 5

This final Myrtles podcast summarizes Fiona’s on-site research with Margaret Byl of Amateur Spirit Seekers.  It’s just an overview, but it’ll give you an idea of what you may encounter if you conduct a serious investigation there.

What’s key is to notice what should be there, normally, but isn’t.

Fiona also talks about the ghost story related to the footsteps on the stairs.  The victim was William Winter, who–in 1871–was shot on the porch of The Myrtles, and then stumbled up the stairs before collapsing near the top step.  He died on the stairs, in the arms of his wife.

In our next podcast, Fiona will talk about investigating another wonderful haunted house, Houmas House in Louisiana.
