Mirror On Myrtles Plantation

The Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, LA bills itself as “one of America’s most haunted homes.” Like people, inanimate objects can be plagued by the paranormal. Theres been many legends surrounding the historic property, the tale of the haunted mirror is one of the most famous.
According to popular legend, a slave named Chloe baked an oleander-laced cake and poisoned three members of the prominent Woodruff family. Some say Chloe purposely killed the family, while others insist she only meant to make them ill. In any event, Sara and the children died and are now trapped inside the old mirror, or so the stories go.
Visitors from the plantation report seeing handprints on the glass, prints allegedly belonging to the slain Woodruffs. Strange “drip” marks also run the length of the mirror, and no amount of cleaning can remove the residue. Visitors have also spotted figures in old-fashioned clothing lurking inside the mirror’s warped glass.
Other than that, it may be something else that’s in this mirror. Why? There has been no records show a slave by that name and one of the Woodruff daughters survived well into adulthood. The other daughter perished from yellow fever, as did Sara Woodruff.
So, what’s really going on in this mirror?
