This is the true story about my visit to The Myrtles. Some of you may have heard of it in the Ghost Diaries books and those are what had inspired me to go to The Myrtles. These books are in fact true and available on kindle fire and nook.
Ok so I was 15 when I first went to The Myrtles I am 17 now and hypersensitive to spirits.
Now most of you wouldn't believe me if I told you but The Myrtles can actually be very dangerous. My first encounter was as soon as we pulled up the drive. I had started to become very uncomfortable and timid. As my family and I walked up to the door something heavy fell on my chest and I found it hard to step inside.
It looked exactly like the book had said. I saw the staircase, the back veranda I even stayed in THE PEACH ROOM! It was just my cousins, my aunt, and I staying there so we easily fitted in the one bed together. We stayed for about a week or two and I will say I loved every minute of it! So here I am at one of the most paranormal houses ever and a ready to record data take pictures and much more. I first went to see Chloe the young slave mistress to one of the house's old owner's she did appear to me but not to my relatives and I thought that was amazing. I even got a EVP of her saying hello and nice to meet you. It was a bit fuzzy but I still heard it. I had asked her if I could take some pictures and she let me! I have it to this day still. The next thing I got to see was the stairwell spirit. I forgot his name but I won't forget his face. He seemed a bit pleased to see me so interested in him and his history. He even stood next to me for a picture I know because I felt him, then later saw him in the photos. I also met the little girls and talked and played with them they seemed to enjoy my company as well. I also got some weird looks from the other tenants at the time but I didn't mind.
We spent a long time talking and sitting on the back veranda. We saw an apparition sitting in one of the chairs and asked if we could join it and it agreed. We sat there talking but I couldn't stop from wondering about the spirit sitting in the other rocking chair. I was smart enough to have my pad and pencil along with my evp recorder and camera. (I alway carry those.) I started by asking if it was ok to ask some questions and it agreed. I got a few responses and I even sketched the figure I saw as well as I could then asked if we could take some pictures, but it had disappeared I was a bit disappointed, but my sketch was pretty good.
One night while we were in The Peach Room I slept in the middle of my family and my little cousin slept on the other side of me then it was my other cousin who was a month older than me on the outside and my Aunt on the outside as well. What I saw was pretty weird a about 2:45 I woke up to see my cousin's blanket kept moving even though we are all soundless sleepers and don't move, but his did whether it was him or not. It scared me to be truthful. I actually grabbed my phone and recorded it, the blanket would tuck then untuck him and I was totally confused. I saw a shadow leave the room I fell asleep at about 2:56 but my phone was still on and I caught more than I wanted to on film. I saw more shadows, the blanket tucking and untucking and even the bathroom light turned on and off by itself. I was very frightened but also intrigued I started taking more videos and more and more activity would occur I even saw a white mist ingulf our entire bedroom it didn't know I was asleep because I had my eyes closed enough to make it look like I was asleep. The fog had moved over all of us first my cousins then my aunt then me. I heard my name several times throughout the night and only twice was it my little cousin who had to pee and wanted me to stay awake with her. It was the last day that scared me the most. I was helping pack the car when I heard something like scratching wood or something being wrote on and when I was about to pack my investigation supplies I saw that on my notepad it had M P on it in really old hand written cursive. I had taken those initials as Myrtle Plantation. I will be returning to the plantation on May 20, 2014 and I will update my story.
If you don't believe my story find some of my pics on google images! P.S I understand most of the people on here are skeptic but as a reminder any negative comments will be ignored.
