31 Days of Halloween: Day 23, The Terrifying Tales of The Myrtles Plantation

As the eerie October night descends, we find ourselves on the haunted grounds of The Myrtles Plantation on Day 23 of our spine-chilling journey. Located in St. Francisville, Louisiana, this ancient abode whispers the sinister sagas of its tormented past, each eerie tale intertwined with the tendrils of the dark and malevolent forces that linger within. The Myrtles Plantation, a realm where history and horror dance amidst the shadows, invites us to delve into the mysteries of the otherworldly.

Historical Background

The Myrtles Plantation was brought to life in 1796 by General David Bradford, later rechristened “Laurel Grove.” The house saw the passing of numerous owners, each leaving behind a fragment of their essence amidst the whispering willows. As history unfurled, the plantation bore witness to a series of tragic events, from the harrowing tales of the Whiskey Rebellion to the unending cries of the enslaved, forever etched into the very soul of the land.

Haunting Tales

• The Legend of Chloe

The tale of Chloe, a young enslaved girl, anchors the eerie essence of The Myrtles Plantation. Ensnared in a dark liaison with Clarke Woodruff, the plantation owner, Chloe’s tale spirals into a narrative of revenge, death, and spectral hauntings. Her spirit, veiled in a green turban, is said to wander the ancient halls, a restless entity amidst the living.

• The Ghostly Children

The spectral imprints of Woodruff’s children, victims of Chloe’s malevolent act, are said to dwell within the reflection of the ancient mirrors, their innocent visages glimpsed in the eerie silence of the midnight hour.

• The Phantom of William Winter

The eerie tale of William Winter, shot and fatally wounded, yet managing a final ascent on the staircase before collapsing into the arms of his beloved, adds a chilling narrative to the plantation’s haunted lore. His phantom is said to reenact this tragic end, a ghostly replay resonating through the eerie silence of the plantation.

Exploring The Myrtles Plantation

Venture into the haunting allure of The Myrtles Plantation, where every creak and whisper unravels a thread of the spectral saga that dwells within. Guided tours meander through the historic rooms and eerie grounds, narrating the chilling tales that have bestowed upon The Myrtles Plantation the title of one of America’s most haunted homes. With every step, the veil between the earthly and the spectral seems to thin, offering a glimpse into the unknown.

Conclusion

As Day 23 of our haunting journey folds into the dark veil of the night, The Myrtles Plantation stands as a spectral realm, where the haunting melodies of the past resonate through the veil of time. The ghostly narratives, each a chilling verse in the plantation’s dark saga, beckon to those who dare, to step into a realm where history and horror entwine in a spectral dance, a haunting serenade to the eerie essence of the October night.

Finalists/Semifinalists Revealed For 46th Bay Area Playwrights Festival

The festival received 614 applications from playwrights across the United States.

By: Chloe Rabinowitz

Jun. 01, 2023

Playwrights Foundation, the West Coast's premier launchpad for exceptional new plays and playwrights, has revealed the semifinalists and finalists for the 46th Bay Area Playwrights Festival, which will be presented in a hybrid festival (both in-person and streamed attendance options) April 12-21, 2024, per Playwrights Foundation's recent announcement to shift to a biennial festival structure. BAPF continues to uphold its legacy as one of the oldest and most successful new play festivals uplifting playwrights' new works early in their career.

The festival received 614 applications from playwrights across the United States. Applicants underwent a thorough evaluation process and were reviewed by Playwrights Foundation staff in collaboration with 189 committee readers-local and national theatre professionals serving as evaluators, with 57% who identify as playwrights. From this pool of 614 applicants, 148 semifinalists were carefully chosen based on the writer's voice, skills, and the play's potential. Applicants were narrowed down further to 45 finalists encompassing unique voices, under-represented narratives, and bold theatrical forms across various levels of experiences. Ultimately, five playwrights will be selected among the finalists and announced at a later point.

"The current landscape of contemporary playwriting is so vibrant. There is an abundance of writing which blooms with strong points of view, memorable plots and characters, and risk-taking moments of stagecraft." says Literary Manager Heather Helinsky. "Our community of readers were highly engaged by a wide range of theatrically innovative styles, compelling narratives, and poignant issues and themes. The semifinalists and finalists are deserving of reaching audiences in need of catharsis-from communal grieving to a good laugh."

Bay Area Playwrights Festival is one of the oldest and most successful new play festivals for new works in their early stages. Established in 1976 by acclaimed director Robert Woodruff, the festival has built a respected reputation for uplifting original and distinctive new voices in the theater, investing in the development of their work, and launching storied careers. Among the first writers developed at the inaugural BAPF was the young Sam Shepard. Since then, more than 500 prize-winning, nationally significant playwrights have received one of their first professional experiences at the BAPF, including Pulitzer Prize winners Nilo Cruz, Jackie Sibblies Drury, Paula Vogel, and Annie Baker; and acclaimed playwrights Lauren Gunderson, Rajiv Joseph, Katori Hall, Christopher Chen, Lauren Yee, and Marcus Gardley. BAPF's ongoing success in supporting and amplifying exceptional, newly emerging writers and launching their ground-breaking new work is its enduring legacy.

"We are excited to spotlight these talented playwrights and incredible plays in this year's BAPF semifinalists and finalists," says Executive Artistic Director Jessica Bird Beza. "There are an abundance of powerful narratives included on the list that made for an incredibly difficult selection process. We want to uplift and advocate for the dynamic work of this next generation of playwrights to other theatermakers and hope to see them on stages around the country."

After listening closely to playwrights and other constituents, Playwrights Foundation recently announced that the Bay Area Playwrights Festival model will shift from an annual festival to a biennial hybrid festival in order to expand the pre-festival program from 4 to 12 months. This change will allow staff to be more intentional and responsive to each playwright's needs and increase the amount of time, care, and resources dedicated to each playwright.

"The past few years have been a time for reflection and growth at Playwrights Foundation, resulting in newly expressed purpose, vision, and values," said Beza. "We move forward with a deeper commitment to center and empower the playwrights we serve, guided by a strategic plan co-created with significant playwright representation, and the 46th Bay Area Playwrights Festival program model changes reflect this."

Chloe of Myrtles Plantation

Myrtles Plantation, located in St. Francisville, Louisiana, is known for its beautiful antebellum architecture and rich history dating back to the 18th century. However, it is also famous for its ghostly legends, and one of the most well-known is the story of Chloe, the ghost of a former slave who is said to haunt the plantation.

According to the legend, Chloe was a slave owned by the Woodruff family who lived on Myrtles Plantation. As the story goes, Chloe was caught eavesdropping on a conversation between members of the Woodruff family and was punished by having her ear cut off. In retaliation, Chloe baked a poisoned cake and served it to the family, resulting in the deaths of several family members. Chloe was subsequently hanged by her fellow slaves, who feared retribution from the Woodruff family.

Today, it is believed that Chloe's spirit still roams the halls of Myrtles Plantation. Visitors and staff alike have reported encountering a ghostly figure resembling a young woman with a turban on her head, which is said to be Chloe's spirit. She has been described as a sad and restless soul, often seen wandering around the plantation or peering out of windows.

In addition to her appearances, Chloe's presence is also said to be felt through unexplained phenomena. Guests have reported hearing disembodied voices, footsteps, and cries believed to be Chloe's, as well as witnessing objects moving on their own. Some have even claimed to have seen handprints on windows that could not be explained.

Despite her tragic story, Chloe's ghost is not generally considered malevolent. Many believe that she continues to wander the plantation, seeking forgiveness for her past actions or trying to make amends for her tragic fate. Some visitors have even reported feeling a sense of sadness or empathy when encountering Chloe's spirit, as if she is still mourning her actions from beyond the grave.

Today, Myrtles Plantation offers ghost tours and has become a popular destination for paranormal enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The story of Chloe's ghost has been passed down through generations, and her legend has become an integral part of the plantation's history and folklore.

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, the story of Chloe at Myrtles Plantation is a haunting tale that continues to captivate visitors and locals alike. Her ghostly presence adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the already fascinating history of Myrtles Plantation, making it a must-visit destination for those interested in the paranormal or the rich heritage of the American South.

Myrtles Plantation

The Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, LA bills itself as one of the most haunted homes in America. Dozens of legends surround the historic property, though the tale of Chloe the killer slave is by far the most famous. But is it true?

According to popular legend, a slave named Chloe baked an oleander-laced cake and poisoned three members of the prominent Woodruff family: Sarah, the lady of the plantation, and her two daughters. 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 a large mirror inside the plantation, or so the stories go.

Today, visitors report seeing hand prints on a mirror that reportedly belonged to the 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.

While the Myrtles mirror may seem strange, it’s highly unlikely that Sarah, her daughters, or even “Chloe” is to blame. Plantation records show no record of a slave named Chloe (or even a slave owned by the Woodruffs at all). Plus, none of the Woodruffs died of foul play. In fact, one of the Woodruff daughters survived well into adulthood while the other daughter perished from yellow fever. Sarah Woodruff also succumbed to the disease.

Brown University has systematically and repeatedly failed to protect women from rape and other sexual misconduct, according to a federal class action lawsuit filed recently by four current and former female students.

The suit, which was filed last Friday in Providence federal court, alleges the Ivy League school in Rhode Island actively prevented the reporting of incidents of sexual violence and perpetuated a culture of silence on campus.

One of the women said she was advised against making a formal complaint after being sexually assaulted at a party hosted by rugby team members because it happened off-campus, where officials said it would be more difficult to hold someone accountable.

Another said the university found her alleged assailant responsible for her sexual assault, but then named him a speaker at the school’s commencement ceremony while he was appealing the case. The woman said the university overturned his assault finding and sanctioned her after she went public with her concerns about his role in commencement. The male student ultimately didn’t speak at graduation.

Kim Evans, one of the lawyers representing the women, said Monday that the women's experiences dealing with university administrators are particularly shocking given they come years after the #MeToo movement sparked a global reckoning on sexual misconduct.

“It’s hard enough for a survivor of abuse to come forward with their truth, even under the best circumstances," she said. “But here we have Brown survivors who are met with apathy and indifference, which makes a really hard situation even more traumatic.”

Cass Cliatt, the university’s senior vice president for communications, said Monday that the university is aware of the lawsuit but has not been formally served.

She said in an email that Brown has taken a “strategic and sustained approach” to confronting sexual misconduct on campus, including recommendations from the university’s sexual assault task force released in 2015.

“Brown has made it an institutional priority to create an environment in which no incident of sexual violence is tolerated, and the experiences and perspective of students and others impacted by sexual violence have been instrumental in informing the actions we’ve taken,” she said.

In a joint statement, the four women named in the suit dismissed the school’s recent efforts as “begrudging, minor changes to policy and procedure” that have “failed to ameliorate the rampant public health crisis of sexual violence” on campus.“The so-called systems of justice and support at Brown, as well as the faculty, staff and administrators who implement them, actively perpetuate and exacerbate the injustices and harm they claim to remedy,” the women said. “Survivors at Brown are silenced, harmed, dismissed and discouraged from seeking justice by the university.”

They say in their suit that Brown’s poor response to sexual misconduct allegations violates numerous provisions of Title IX, the federal law barring gender-based discrimination, resulting in negligence, breach of contract, and “intentional infliction of emotional distress.”

They also say the university’s Title IX office is woefully undersized and that its training on sexual misconduct policies and procedures do not meet federal standards.

The women named in the litigation are Chloe Burns, a 2019 graduate; Taja Hirata-Epstein, a 2020 graduate; Katiana Soenen, a rising sophomore; and Carter Woodruff, who matriculated in 2016 but went on medical leave and is seeking reinstatement. The Associated Press does not generally identify alleged victims of sexual misconduct unless they decide to speak out publicly.

If granted by a judge, their class action suit would cover all women who attended Brown starting in 2018 and were survivors of sexual violence.

Evans said the women want a court order compelling the university to comply with federal Title IX requirements, as well as any damages allowable under law.

The lawsuit follows protests this spring led by a student group critical of the university's handling of sexual assault claims, said Elizabeth Bailey, another lawyer representing the women. But the problems at the university stretch back to the 1980s, when survivors began a campaign of writing the names of their perpetrators on the library bathroom walls, she said.

Other prominent colleges have recently settled lawsuits dealing with widespread sexual assault on campus.In March, the University of Southern California agreed to an $852 million settlement with more than 700 women who have accused the college’s longtime campus gynecologist of sexual abuse.In 2019, Dartmouth College settled a federal lawsuit with nine women who sued the Ivy League institution in New Hampshire over allegations that it ignored years of harassment and assault by former psychology department professors. That settlement included some $14 million in compensation for current and former students.

Meanwhile Brown, which was founded in 1764 and has more than 10,000 students, settled a federal lawsuit in September challenging its decision to reduce several women’s varsity sports teams, including fencing, golf and skiing to club status.

Myrtle's Plantation

Have any of you guys ever been to Myrtles Plantation?

An aura of mystery and terror surrounds Myrtles Plantation, “one of America’s most haunted homes” built on an Indian burial ground, and where up to ten people might have been murdered and which supposedly plays home to at least a dozen unsettled spirits.

Reportedly above is the ghost of Cloe. Captured by a visitor.

Legend has it that the hauntings began because of Chloe, who was a slave owned by Clark and Sara Woodruff, the original owners. Purportedly, Clark wanted Chloe to be his mistress, she refused, and he continued to pressure her and may have forced her into having sex with him. Then, after she was caught eavesdropping on Sara, one of them chopped off her ear and she wore a green turban to disguise it. She baked a poisonous birthday cake in retaliation, but the plan backfired and Sara and their two daughters died from poisoning, while Clark survived. Ever since, guests at the bed and breakfast have reported sightings of a woman wearing a green turban stalking the grounds.

Unfortunately, that’s not all. The house was reportedly once ransacked by Union soldiers during the Civil War, and three were killed inside. A disgruntled, young Indian girl has been spotted on the plantation, and there’s supposedly a blood stain in the shape of a human body that cannot be removed or even touched by mops or cleaning supplies. There is so much legend to this property that revisiting it seems completely necessary.

Chole was a slave at Myrtles Plantation. According to legend Chloe was caught eavesdropping and got her ear cut off. To get revenge Chloe baked a cake with poison in it to make her owner, Mr Woodruff’s wife and children sick. Chloe hoped to nurse them back to health to get on Mr Woodruff’s good side, unfortunately she mixed too much poison into the cake resulting in the death of Mrs Woodruff and her children. Overcome with guilt Chloe confessed and was hung. According to the staff and visitors people see a black woman wearing a green turban on the plantation grounds. Chloe wore a green turban after her mutilation to cover up her injury. While there is no historical basis for this legend it has become one of the most popular ghost legends in America

Myrtle Plantation Haunting

St. Francisville, Louisiana

The Myrtle Plantation is a former Antebellum Plantation built in 1796 by General David Bradford.

Many believe the historic home is one of the most haunted locales in the United States.

The Myrtles has 22 rooms spread over two floors.

The home is rumored to be on top of an ancient Tunica Indian burial ground, and is supposably the residence of at least 12 different ghosts and apparitions. Rumors of at least 10 murders occurred in the house, but historical records only indicate one fatality.

The murder of attorney, William Drew Winter.

Mr. Winter lived in the plantation from 1865 until 1871. An intruder was trespassing on the 10 acre land and shot William Winter. Winter struggled into the home and lost his strength climbing the staircase. He dropped dead on the 17th step of the stairs. To this day, visitors and employees alike, claim to hear his footsteps, only to thud silent on the 17th step.

The Legend of Miss Chloe

Chloe was reportedly a slave owned by Clark and Sara Woodruff, past owners of the home. Legend calls Chloe being Mr. Woodruff's mistress. Chloe supposably eavesdropped on the couple too often, forcing the Woodwards to cut off her ear.

In retaliation, Chloe baked a cake containing extract of boiled and reduced oleander leaves, which are extremely poisonous. Sara and her two daughters ate the cake, and painfully died from the poison intake. Chloe then was allegedly hanged by Clark Woodruff to escape punishment for infidelity. Her body was disposed of in The Mississippi River.

In 1992, the owner of the plantation was photographing the exterior of the outbuildings for the insurance company.

The home owner was alone at the time, and did not see anyone while taking the photograph.

This is the photo she captured.

The National Geographic Explorer filming crew identified the photograph as authentic and believe the apparition to be a female slave.

In May 1995, a patent researcher investigated the photo, and determined that all of the physical measurements of the apparition were of human dimensions and proportions.

Many say the phantom is Miss Chloe.

The Haunted Mirror

Guests visiting the 217-year-old home claim that they've seen muddled handprints disappear and reappear on the glass. The prints allegedly belong to the slain Woodruffs. Others have declared that they've seen dark liquid dribble down the length of the mirror, and no amount of cleaning can remove the obscure residue.

Spotlight on Ambassadors Stan’s-Pivot Pro Team

Since their 2015 inception, the Stan’s-Pivot Pro Team mountain bike team have been a formidable presence on every race course on which their tubeless tires rolled, earning multiple national championships, consistent podiums and even team co-founder Chloe Woodruff representing the U.S. in the 2016 Olympics.

And since 2017, BikeFlights.com has been an integral part of their race day routine.

“BikeFlights.com has completely changed the way to travel and pack for races. We ship all of our bikes domestically,” says Woodruff, who founded the team in 2015 with team mechanic TJ Woodruff.

The four-racer team, consisting of Chloe Woodruff, Rose Grant, Sophia Gomez-Villafañe and Keegan Swenson, expects to compete for the top step at every race at which they show. Allowing focus to remain on performing, and not logistics, is paramount.

“I believe we have the team where we can show up and contest the win at every domestic race we enter. [BikeFlights.com] saves the team a huge amount of travel day stress.“ says Woodruff.

With the calendar just barely crossing into July, Woodruff feels there’s already a lot to celebrate the 2019 season.

“For Sofia, it was her early season podiums at UCI HC races and defending her Argentine National Championship jerseys. Keegan has been undefeated in the U.S. since May and just landed a big result at a World Cup (18th in Andorra). Rose came back from injuries, yet again, to win the Carson City Off-Road. She's the toughest racer out there. And I won the World Cup short track race in Nove Mesto [in the Czech Republic].”

While there’s much for the Stan’s-Pivot Pro Team to celebrate, there’s plenty left in the season upon which to remain unyieldingly focused.

“The [Epic Rides] Off-Road Series is very important to us, but also the U.S. National Championship this season. Rose is also training for Leadville which is new territory for us. [Other targets are the] Pan Am Games (Sofia), and of course, the World Championships.”

We wish them luck for the remainder of the season, and look forward to lending our voices to the cheers at USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships, the Leadville Trail 100 MTB and the Epic Rides Oz Trails Off-Road!
