GHOSTS OF THE LALAURIE MANSION – NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA IN USA

-
To this day, Delphine LaLaurie’s extravagant Creole mansion in New Orleans’s French Quarter is the city’s most legendary haunted house due to the gruesome torture that occurred over 200 years ago. Dr. Louis LaLaurie and his wife, Delphine, were once known to be one of Creole society’s most influential high-society couple. However, Delphone soon gained a reputation for being brutally cruel to her servers, and neighbors began noticing the unexplained disappearance of parlor maids and stable boys. One night, after a fire broke out in the kitchen, firefighters discovered a chilling secret room full of tortured servants. Word spread throughout New Orleans, and angry citizens formed a mob dead set on avenging the tortured humans. The LaLaurie managed to escape to France, and haunted souls began seeking revenge on the building’s occupants immediately. The house fell to ruin – no one wants to live in a house haunted by tortured souls.
