Lalaurie Mansion
Investigated on
The Lalaurie Mansion, located in New Orleans, was originally occupied by Delphine Lalaurie in the 1800’s. The Lalauries maintained several black slaves in slave quarters attached to the Royal Street mansion. On the morning of April 10, 1834, a fire broke out. The fire not only destroyed part of the house, but a secret room was discovered in the upper part of the building, where seven slaves were found who were starved, tortured and chained.
At the turn of the century, a resident, one of the many poor Italian immigrants who lived in the house, encountered a black man in chains. The entity attacked him on the stairwell then suddenly disappeared. Today, people just passing the building on tour report fainting or becoming nauseous, and of course, disembodied screams or wailing are still occasionally heard. Some tourists are able to photograph orbs around the roof area.
