This week the "Ghost Adventures" crew pack up their gear and head to St. Francisville, Louisiana to investigate the Myrtle’s Plantation. Currently a bed and breakfast, the plantation is on many lists of top American haunted locations. The guys begin their tour with the general manager of the B&B, Teresa. The most famous spirit is a slave girl named Chloe. According to local legend, Chloe was the mistress to homeowner Clark Woodruff, and when he broke it off, she baked a birthday cake laced with oleander for his children. Cornelia and James Woodruff died, though it is still unclear if they were murdered. Chloe was reportedly hung in the front yard, however there is no proof she acually existed. Another famous legend in the home is an allegedly haunted mirror. Though there have been many photos taken with strange things appearing in them, the crew try to explain them away as being smudges or lighting.

According to this infographic, "A World of Haunted Houses," beliefs about ghosts certainly vary around the world. We here in the United States have more people saying they've seen a ghost. However, compared to England and Canada, we don't believe as strongly as they do with only 45% of our population versus 52% in England and 47% in Canada. Why do you suppose this is true? There are 32% of Americans who also believe we can interact with ghosts. Are you in that percentage?

Out of the top five most notorious haunted destinations in the world, two of the five are in the United States (The Amityville House and The Myrtles Plantation). Take a look at the infographic (after the jump or click on the link under the pic) and let us know what you think. What was left off? Have you ever been to one or all of the listed notorious haunted locations? Have you seen a ghost? Was it from Canada? Boo.
