Myrtle's Plantation was built in 1794 in St. Francisville, Lousiana by General David Bradford. At the time of it's construction, this now famous plantation was known as "Laurels Grove". Myrtle's Plantation has been the home to various families since it was built, but the most legendary would be that of the Woodruff's.

Clark Woodruff was a former law student of Bradford and eventually married Bradford's daughter, Sara. The two had three children together, named Cornelia Gale, James and Mary Octavia. Upon the death of General Bradford, The Woodruffs began to manage the plantation.

Legend of Chloe

According to legend, the Woodruff's are said to have owned a slave by the name of Chloe. Clark Woodruff is said to have kept Chloe as a mistress. Chloe was a house slave and did much of the cooking, cleaning and other various household chores. When Chloe began to suspect that Woodruff may be growing tired of her and may put her back in the fields, she began to eavesdrop on his conversations. One fateful day, Chloe was caught listening to Clark Woodruff's business dealings through a keyhole. After being caught, Woodruff had her ear cut off as punishment. Chloe is said to have worn a green turban to hide her disfigurement from that day forward.

Although Chloe remained silent, she was angry about her punishment and was now more worried than ever about being put into the fields with the other slaves. One day, Chloe baked a birthday cake for Sara and the children. This cake was her own special recipe, consisting of poisonous oleander leaves. Some say that this was done in an effort to show how useful she was to the family. The idea being that when they all became sick, she would know exactly what was wrong and nurse them to health. Others say that it was simply an act of revenge. Either way, Sara and her two daughters were killed. Chloe was hanged shortly after. But not before cursing the plantation. Many people say that Myrtle's Plantation is haunted by the ghost of a woman wearing a green turban. The figure of a black woman wearing a turban has been seen by a number of people, wandering the grounds. Most locals know exactly who this ghostly figure is. They say that it is the Ghost of Chloe.

Other Ghosts and Legends

Chloe's ghost isn't the only mysterious occurrence on the grounds of Myrtle's Plantation. Others have witnessed two little girls in old fashioned clothing playing on the grounds and peeking from windows. Could this be the Woodruff girls? The plantation is rumored to have been built on an ancient Indian burial ground, which to some, could explain the heavy concentration of strange activity. It is also said that three union soldiers were shot and killed while attempting to ransack the home during the civil war. The spot where they fell has had a stain resembling blood since that day, that cannot be removed. Some cleaners even claim that they cannot push their mops onto the ghostly stain. There is also a custom that called for all mirrors to be covered after the death of a family member during the days of the Woodruffs. Legend states that one mirror was not covered after the death of Sara and her children and that the Ghosts of Sara and her daughters are trapped within the mirror that still hangs on the wall to this day. There are other legends and tales of ghosts at Myrtle's Plantation. You can discover them yourself, if you dare. Myrtle's Plantation is now a bed and breakfast and welcomes anyone the chance to spend a night with the Ghosts of Myrtle's Plantation.

If you stand in front of a mirror in the dark, is your reflection still there?

And when you see your reflection, are you looking at the past, the present or the future? I read somewhere that with Light you can bend time and that is why some believe in time travel, which got me thinking about the mirror reflection. So is it the past, the present or the furture?

Technically for your reflection to be there some light source has to emit light which reflects of of you and then hits the mirror. The mirror then reflects the light back which then goes into your and you see yourself. So in the dark there is no reflection because there is no light for the mirror to reflect. Also when you do have a reflection from the mirror it is a slightly delayed image of you because it takes time for the light to go from you to the mirror and then from there into your eyes. So are looking in the past but its such a short amount of time that you can't detect it.
