The Myrtles, a 1796-built bed and breakfast in St. Francisville, Louisiana, is known for more than its picturesque French Creole architecture. Since the house was transformed into a hotel in the 1970s, guests have reported encountering numerous spirits on the premises. One by the name of Cleo is supposedly so active guests are no longer allowed to reside in one of the bedrooms.
Visitors have reported unexplained fingerprints, doors moving on their own, strange noises, and apparitions. While many of the grisly tales behind these hauntings are unproven, one thing is certainly true: The Myrtles knows a good dessert. A classic recipe at the house is a croissant bread pudding, which paranormal investigator Amy Bruni chronicled in her new cookbook, Food to Die For. Get the recipe below, and check out G&G’s interview with Bruni here.
