A Haunted House
The Myrtles is now a bed and breakfast and is known more for its ghosts than it ever was for its crops. The subject of scores of television programs and newspaper and magazine articles, The Myrtles is nationally recognized as one of the most haunted houses in America.
Many visitors to The Myrtles have reported seeing ghostly apparitions on the property and capturing strange images on their cameras, including that of a young black woman with a scarf wrapped around her head.
In December 2004, Lorrie Jones and Tara Deters, along with two other ladies, drove from their home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast to The Myrtles for a weekend getaway. Lorrie and Tara checked into the green room and their two friends were given the adjoining peach room.

As soon as they stepped into their room, Lorrie and Tara sensed something was wrong.
"It just felt evil," Lorrie told Crime Library.
Tara agreed. "There was something evil about it," she said, "an overwhelming uneasy feeling."
That evening the staff left, as they do every night. The four ladies from Mississippi were alone in the house.
That's when strange things started to happen.
On a windowpane in the green room, both Lorrie and Tara were startled to see the image of an old man suddenly appear. He wore a long suit and top hat. "He looked angry," Lorrie said.
The two ladies bolted from the room.
Later, all four friends returned to the green room. They were curious. As they stared at the window they saw a light just outside. The light formed into a small orb and drifted through the glass. It got bigger.
Both Lorrie and Tara describe the glowing orb as growing to two and a half to three feet in diameter. It passed through Lorrie and another lady. It left a metallic taste in Lorrie's mouth. Shortly afterward, she felt sick and started throwing up. The other lady also got sick.
