Tours for the brave at heart make one St. Francisville, La., home more than just another old house.

Antebellum charm and haunting stories have garnered The Myrtles national media attention and drawn many ghost-hunting tourists.

The 1796 house, just more than an hour from Natchez, is open daily for history tours and on weekends for mystery tours. Tourists will hear the story of owner David Bradford and slave Chloe, who supposedly still haunts the house.

Those willing to brave the night can reserve a room for anywhere from $115 to $230 a night. The majority of the ghost-sightings come from overnight guests who tell their story later, Manager Hester Edy said.

Stories and spotlights in national media including, The Travel Channel and The New York Times have deemed The Myrtles one of America’s most haunted houses.

The National Historic Register house includes a 120-foot verandah, hand painted stained glass and Baccarat crystal chandeliers.

Travelers can eat at the house’s restaurant, The Carriage House, on the grounds of the plantation.

Edy said the convenience of The Myrtles made it a great day trip destination.

&uot;To take the drive down from Natchez, it is really a straight shot,&uot; she said. &uot;Not only is The Myrtles in the area but it is the plantation country and a beautiful drive.&uot;

Historical tours are conducted daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mystery tours are at 6, 7 and 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.

The house is located on U.S. 61 between Natchez and Baton Rouge.
