Ep. 28: The Myrtles Plantation

How could there NOT be stories of spirts and hauntings at a historical southern plantation? This week, Hannah tells Katy about this staple in Louisiana lore that is home to disembodied voices, children in mirrors, and Chloe, the restless spirit of a former slave who took justice into her own hands and was met by a similar fate. Also, find out how Alexander Hamilton accidentally had a hand in setting it all in motion! Pour a strong one, and get ready hear some depressing (but spooky) American history!
