Meanwhile...

Meanwhile...
I love all creatures. I consider them, all of them, to be sentient beings... I write thrillers, fantasy, mysteries, gothic horror, romantic adventure, occult, Noir, westerns and various types of short stories. I also re-tell traditional folk tales and make old fairy tales carefully cracked. I'm often awake very early in the morning. A cuppa, and fifteen minutes later I'm usually writing something. ;)

The Myrtles, Francisville, Louisiana, - one of the most haunted houses in America, - [Part 2] ...

Can ghosts have sex with people?  Hmmm...  The old nursery upstairs is the favorite trysting place for the Judge,---that is, Judge Clarke Woodruff, the rotten old lech who would lead a young slave girl up the backstairs during the time of their affair.   Single women who sleep in that room often report that the ghost of the Judge slips into bed with them and skillfully seduces them!

Other hauntings:  The room known as the Bridal Suite was once the bedroom of Sarah and William Stirling.  It is active most of the time, as are most of the rooms downstairs.  Footsteps, laughter, music that comes out of no where and the scent of perfume are common throughout the house.  In the Spring and Fall parties are heard and seem to go on all night. Every Thanksgiving there is the sound of a string quartet.

Ghosts are seen on the grounds in broad daylight.  Some of them are dressed in period clothes of the Civil War South some are in present day clothes.  The ghosts look like regular people until they suddenly disappear!   Like: A woman in a green turban who carries a lighted brass candle holder; a long earring dangles from her ear; she bends over beds...  An investigator from the Star newspaper said, while she was  in it, staying in the "Bridal Suite", her bed floated off the floor!  A soldier dressed in Civil War Confederate gray silently guards the Myrtles...

Why are there so many ghosts at the Myrtles?  Some think it's because the house was built over a Native American burial ground.  Another theory is that so many emotional and passionate events happened there.
