Along with the hauntings, which were alternately benevolent and terrifying, her years as innkeeper at the Myrtles brought death threats from the Klan, the tragic loss of friends, a catastrophic betrayal, the death of her dog and an apparent replaying of the past dramas and tragedies at this historic Louisiana plantation.

Half of the book covers the history of this unique building, now restored and open to the public.

The beautiful Zelia, married to a man twice her age, who died under mysterious circumstances. The rest of the book deals with the many ghosts of Destrehan. Levantino and Phyllis Barraco, the illustrator, work at Destrehan Plantation and frequently meet visitors who see the spirits and even go into trance or channel them. Two little girls, a ghostly bride, a spectral soldier, and several previous owners of the plantation, as well as a multitude of ghostly slaves have been seen here.
