The Myrtles Plantation

The True Story of America's Most Haunted House

By: Frances Kermeen

Narrated by: Sophie Amoss

Welcome to the Myrtles, the most haunted house in America.

Broken clocks tick...beds rise in the air...paintings fly across the room...locked doors fling open...crystal chandeliers shake...heavy footsteps and eerie piano music sound in the dead of night - and that's just for starters. Welcome to the Myrtles. Long recognized as America's most haunted house both by parapsychologists and the media, the Myrtles is a 28-room Louisiana bed-and-breakfast once owned by Frances Kermeen.

In this spine-tingling chronicle, Frances tells the story of how she was drawn to this former plantation mansion, its bone-chilling history, and the incredible encounters of the ghostly kind she had that forever changed her beliefs about the supernatural - and just may change yours.

Along with the sometimes terrifying, sometimes benevolent hauntings, her years at the Myrtles also brought death threats from the Ku Klux Klan, the tragic loss of friends, a catastrophic betrayal, and other personal challenges. And they would all converge with the paranormal phenomena around her into one cataclysmic event....

Good story

I liked the book for the most part. Some things about it bothered me but they aren’t worth mentioning. I definitely didn’t like the voice of the person reading it. That might just be me though because I never seem to like the voice of anyone reading a book. I think it’s all the different voices they try to use. They just sound so silly or annoying. It is what it is though. Not a good reason not to listen.

Great story

I really enjoyed this title!! Was fast paced and held your interest. Makes me want to go visit the Myrtles.

Was everything I thought it would be

I have been dying to read this book but haven't had the time so I was very happy to see it was on here. I heard about this book from Bridget Marquardts Ghost Magnet and I have stayed at the Myrtles once and am going again in July. I connected with Frances and I felt like I was there the whole time, but I also have seen the ENTIRE house. I cannot wait to listen to this again before I go.

Been there it’s amazing

I like this book how it still a story you don’t get to hear from the tour guides of you go to the house today

I think you should read this if your going to stay at the Myrtles

Beyond belief

I have mixed feelings about this book. It took awhile to hold my attention. And honestly there were times I didn't particularly like the author. But once it started going, I couldn't stop listening.

The stories are incredulous. Almost soap opera crazy at times with so many characters, adultery and death in addition to the over the top haunting. It makes the Amityville Horror look like child's play.

If you enjoy a good personal account of hauntings, I would recommend it.

Love it

Best story, hard to stop listening, I would read again. I could say it's addictive!

Can’t stop listening to.!!

I’ve read the book years ago, my daughter and I have spent many nights at the Myrtle’s Plantation in the last 10 years. The book explained a lot of the experiences we had. I heard the Indian war drums one night (all night long) we were with a group of 5 in the Coco House that night, no one heard them except me. The book talks about the drums and other things we experienced over the years. After reading the book and listening to it again, I don’t think I want to go back there.!! 😩😩. The book is excellent.!!
