Take a haunted tour of New Orleans and learn about the story of ghosts.
Hi. My name is Sidney Smith. I am the owner of Haunted History Tour, here in New Orleans. Tonight, you are going to be taking the Haunted History Tour. With your tour guide, Renee Lazair.
Hello. My name is Renee Lazair. Today we will be taking a walking tour of the French quarter. The sights of actual documented hauntings. Folks, we are here at the number one most haunted building in the French quarter. This behind me right here is the La Lare' mansion. Also known as The Blight of New Orleans. 1830s a woman by the name of Delfine La Lare' inhierited 3 million dollars from her grandparents. She used that fortune to purchase this mansion, she moves in with her doctor husband. Dr. Luis Leonard La Lare'. So great was her taste that she had the entire first floor gutted out and converted into a ballroom. Complete with an Italian marble floor.
Over the years, during her parties, people noticed she like disappeared and show up in an entirely new dress. Well, her last night in New Orleans, it would be revealed why she was having to change her dress. Mid-way through a party, fire breaks out in the kitchen, which is now the parking garage. Fire department enters and they quickly put out the small grease fire. But they over hear the slaves talking about the atrocities going on inside. They exit the kitchen, enter the ballroom, empty all the party guests out onto this sidewalk, much like you are all standing right now. Of course the fire fighters they enter this building and make their way up to the third floor. There they make a very ghastly discovery. One room, several victims in various states of torture.
First, the which is a woman face down on the floor. Her arms and legs have been surgically removed from her one by one. Found a woman inside of a box. Had to take this box apart to get her out of it. That is when they realized that her bones and joints had been broken and dislocated so she could be folded up and put into that box. Two men are shackled against the wall. Both their faces horribly disfigured. Only thing keeping them alive, the maggots. Last person found is a woman. No cuts or marks or bruises, but visibly shaken. Fire fighters unlock her. Instead of her thanking them for setting her free from these people, she takes off running. Comes crashing out of that window, which you now see bricked up on the third floor. On her way down her neck hits the gally railing snapping her neck, flopping her dead in the street in front of all the party guests. I cannot wait for Halloween.
