Yesterday we visited the tiny town of St. Francisville, pop. 2000. It used to be a major shipping port before 1927 flooding destroyed much of it. Remains were moved to higher ground. Took a ride around town and a tour of the supposedly haunted Myrtle Plantation house. Supposedly planter took Chloe a field slave as a mistress and made her a house slave. One thing led to another and she poisoned his wife and two kids. She was accordingly hanged and now haunts the place. This is a “cottage” plantation. Planter grew indigo before switching to cotton.
