| After learning of the Myrtles Plantation, R. I. P. of Central Texas decided we just had to go there to conduct a paranormal investigation. We did some studying on the history of the plantation, and in particular, the history of the Woodruff's, at the myrtles plantation. The Myrtles Plantation was built in 1796 by General David Bradford and called Laurel Grove. He lived there alone for several years, until being pardoned for his role in the Whiskey Rebellion in 1799. He then moved his wife Elizabeth and their five children to the Myrtles plantation from Pennsylvania. One of Bradford's law students, Clark Woodruff (or Woodrooff) eventually married Bradford's daughter, Sarah Mathilda, in 1817. After the death of David Bradford in 1808,Clark and Sarah Woodruff managed the plantation for Elizabeth Bradford. They had three children: Cornelia Gale, James, and Mary Octavia. In July of 1823, Sarah Woodruff died from yellow fever. Clark Woodruff continued to manage the plantation with his mother-in-law. In July of 1824, James died of yellow fever as well, and his sister Cornelia Gale succumbed to the disease in August of that year. based on history, the story of the slave "chloe" poisoning judge woodruff's two daughters and his wife Sarah with oleander leaves, cooked in a birthday cake, is pure fiction. However, there is a photograph of a young boy and girl on the roof of the plantation, which fits more to history. With both the mother and a child passing in july from yellow fever, and the only recorded murder at the plantation resulting in the slaying of william winter (he died after a gunshot wound on the 17th step of the staircase), we reasoned: that will hopefully be an active month at the plantation and the Judge's room at the top of the stairs, will be the room in which to stay. We have booked judge woodruff's room for a paranormal investigation in July 2008. R. I. P. of Central Texas will be conducting their case study on the date below. Come back in July to this page to see the evidence for yourself. |
paranormal investigation: THE MYRTLES PLANTATION - JUDGE WOODRUFF'S ROOM
However, if you have ever stayed at the myrtles, you would know that the woodruff suite is separate and has its own key to that portion of the house. we can not prove we were not outside of the room, knocking with a broom handle on the wooden floors, but we have witnesses that know my aunt and i staying in the room were outside and the staff with any other set of keys were gone. here is the video from our room, while we were out!
