The Myrtles Plantation by Frances Kermeen




I was fully prepared not to like this book. I attempted to read another "true story" of living in a haunted home. I couldn't finish the other book, it was filled with too much spiritual mumb-jumbo. But enough about that book!




The Myrtles Plantation read like a novel, which, for me, is the saving grace of non-fiction. I felt Frances' excitement at finding and buying the plantation. I was overjoyed with her when she opened The Myrtles up as an inn. And I felt her pain, fear and sorrow as the house took from her.



I'm not necessarily saying that I am a believer. Until the last year or so, I would say for certain that I didn't believe in ghosts, only demons. However, I've felt the possibility open up to me recently. But Kermeen does tell a good story. If half of what she saw really happened, I would worry about staying in the Myrtles!
 
My rating:4/5
