9. The Myrtles Plantation
When you think of haunted hotels, the first that probably comes to many people’s minds is the Myrtles Plantation. Its story is one that has been around for awhile and sends a familiar chill down the backs of those who have heard it.
Currently, the plantation functions as a bed and breakfast and is said to be haunted by at least twelve ghosts. It is also rumored that the plantation was built upon a Tunica Indian burial ground, leaving many to believe this is the reason for most of the hauntings. Often, it is mentioned that at least ten murders have occurred within, however, historically, there has only been one death recorded in the now bed and breakfast. His name was William Drew Winter and he was known for his work as an attorney. Mr. Winter stayed at the plantation from 1865 to 1871 until one fateful day when a stranger shot him. He staggered into the building, trying his very best to climb the stairs. Unfortunately, on the 17th step, Mr. Winters breathed his last breath. Nowadays, if you ask the staff, they will tell you that every now and then, footsteps can be heard coming from the stairs William Drew Winter died on. Other ghostly experiences include, seeing, hearing and feeling spirits, and a very large amount of spirit activity in photos and videos.
