Case 169: La Laurie Mansion New Orleans

Welcome to the True Hauntings Podcast with Anne and Renata

“Allow me to quote the facts to you, because you could not believe them if they were not confirmed to you by sufficient authority…

I never saw a more horrible spectacle!

The dislocated heads, the legs torn by the chains, the bodies streaked [with blood] from head to foot from whiplashes and sharp instruments…

when [the slaves] were discovered, they were already devoured by maggots.”

An excerpt from Carolyn Morrow Long’s book, Madame LaLaurie, Mistress of the Haunted House.

Situated at the corner of Royal Street and Governor Nicholls Street stands a notorious three-story antebellum mansion that has drawn the fascination of countless tourists, filmmakers, and even a Hollywood celebrity.

This stately Empire-style residence, located at 1140 Royal Street in New Orleans, was once the home of Delphine Macarty LaLaurie.

Widely regarded as one of the most haunted sites in the city, the mansion's dark history is tied to its infamous owner, a wealthy socialite described as a "demon in the guise of a woman" for her alleged acts of horrific cruelty toward enslaved individuals during her time there.

In this episode we are putting in a warning that it will contain historic information regarding treatment of the enslaved that may be too disturbing for some people.

Please continue listening to this episode at your own discretion as we head to the French Quarter in New Orleans to gather information about the truth behind the stories of the infamous La Laurie Mansion and Madame Delphine.

Was she as despicable as history has us believe?

We hope you enjoy this episode and share it with your friends.
