The Myrtles Plantation ghost reports

Record summary

The Myrtles Plantation became one of the most publicized haunted-house attractions in the United States, with stories involving apparitions, reflected figures, photographs, and the enslaved woman Chloe. Books, tours, television programs, and visitor accounts circulated these narratives especially strongly during the 1990s and 2000s. The case is valuable for comparison because an antebellum site, slavery-related memory, tourism, and ghost lore overlap. Its uncertain points include the chronology of the Chloe story, the evidentiary basis for specific deaths, and whether reported images have ordinary photographic explanations.
