You’re at a friends house, having a little fun. Then someone pulls out a Ouja board and asks if you want to play. You say, “Yeah, sure,” thinking it’s all fun and games. You and your friends sit on the floor, making a circle around the board; two fingers on the planchette. You get started, and as you sit there, trying not to laugh at how absurd this is, the planchette begins to move. But you’re not doing it, so someone else is. You look around the circle at everyone. “Who’s doing that,” you ask, and everyone remains quiet. The planchette begins moving faster and faster, around in a figure-8, before stopping abruptly. Your heart is racing, and you’re telling yourself this is all just a game, it’s not real, but it’s not over yet. The planchette starts moving again, this time stopping on the letters Z-O-Z-O. ZOZO, what’s that?
Myrtles Plantation is currently a Bed and Breakfast located in St. Francisville, Louisiana. Build in 1796 by General David Bradford “Whiskey Dave,” when he fled the United States to avoid arrest and imprisonment for his role in the Pennsylvania Whiskey Rebellion. At that time, this part of Louisiana was a Spanish Colony, and Bradford obtained a land grant of 650 acres to begin a new life.
In 1799, Bradford was pardoned by President John Adams, and he promptly moved his wife Elizabeth and their five children into the plantation with him. He died in 1808, and Elizabeth continued to run the plantation until 1817, when she handed management over to Judge Clarke Woodruff, one of Bradford’s former law students, and the husband of his daughter, Sara Mathilda.
