Haunted Bars in The French Quarter

Jennifer told us a story about her experience at The Morgue Bar in the French Quarter. The Morgue Bar used to be located at 626 St. Philip Street in New Orleans. The building served as a morgue during the yellow fever epidemic in the 1850s. In the Summer of 1853, nearly 1/5th of the city’s population suffered and died from the disease.

The Morgue Bar

The same building later became The Morgue Bar & Lounge. Not just named for it’s previous use, the bar was wholly morgue-themed, embracing its macabre history, as New Orleans tends to do. During its operation as a bar, patrons and staff often reported strange occurrences, such as refrigerators mysteriously unplugging, and toilets overflowing for no apparent reason.

The Crow Bar

The Morgue Bar was unfortunately more of a tourist spot than a fun place to hang out, although it wasn’t not fun, being surrounded by spooky stuff. At the time, Diana preferred another goth bar just a couple blocks over on Decatur, called The Crow Bar. That one was an actual goth club. A legacy goth club, dating back to the 1980’s. A New Orleans legend, in its own right. So goth, in fact, that when they offered free admission on Halloween night to patrons in costume, Diana’s costume (as the character Death from The Sandman comic) was deemed too pedestrian, so she had to pay a cover.

In an interesting bit of French Quarter goth trivia, the former owner of The Morgue actually purchased The Crow Bar, and renamed it The Whirling Dervish.

Haunted Nottoway Plantation

Today’s guest also had a personal story from when she visited Nottoway Plantation in her youth. Nottoway, the largest antebellum plantation mansion in the South, is notably haunted. The most well-known ghost is called Miss Josephine. She’s suspected to be one of the daughters of the original owner, John Randolph. In life, Josephine never married, and remained at Nottoway until her death. Visitors and staff hear her footsteps, and catch glimpses of a figure in a white gown.

The Louisiana plantation is so haunted, it was featured on Discovery Channel’s “Ghost Lab.” Fortunately, most of the property’s spirits are friendly. Well, friendly to adults, at least. Perhaps young Jennifer’s admittedly bratty behavior was just enough to send Miss Josephine over the edge.

Ghost Tour in Galveston, TX

After leaving insanely haunted New Orleans to end up in slightly less haunted Texas, for the first time Jennifer didn’t feel constantly haunted. She must’ve missed that feeling, as she sought out local ghostly tourism opportunities. She wanted to share that Eddy Specter’s Ghost Tour really is the #1 haunted afterdark activity in Galveston, TX. Find out more at facebook.com/eddyspecter.

About the Guests: Vini and Martha, Co-Authors of Thrifty Witchery

Martha Kirby Capo

Author Martha Kirby Capo reminds us of our CUUPs days. Her calm confidence is all the evidence we need that she has rightfully earned her “crone” status. A Solitary Witch currently working with Brigid, Hekate, Pan, and Cernunnos, Martha is the page manager of Patheos Pagan’s shared blog The Agora, where she writes as The Corner Crone. She also leads Moments For Meditation on KPPR Pure Pagan Radio.

Martha has been extensively anthologized through Skinner House books, Flying Cow Productions, and various Llewellyn Publications. An award-winning poet and lyricist, she has written for several online and print magazines, including The Wild Hunt and Witchology. Martha has been a presenter at Florida Pagan Gathering, Turning the Tide, and Mystic South. She is a member of Circle Sanctuary and Everglades Moon, a Local Council representing the Covenant of the Goddess in Florida.

Her second book, Quantum Magick, is forthcoming. Follow for updates and also check out her witch mentoring services on Facebook or Instagram @the_corner_crone.

Vincent Higginbotham

Vincent Higginbotham has seen shadow people since early childhood, which was also when he knew he’d be a writer someday. His first book was about how witchcraft saved his life, as his practice helped him first to survive a decade living on the streets and then later to thrive as an author.

Mostly self-taught, Vini is not initiated in any traditional form or witchcraft practice. He follows his gut in all things magic but spends plenty of time researching to be sure his intuition is informed by wisdom before setting his intentions. It is Vini’s goal to empower others the way he wishes he had been empowered in his early years. He has a dedicated practice with the goddess Hekate and lives in the Southeastern US. He knows Martha because he also writes for Patheos.com; check out all his writing at viniwrites.com.

You can find the book Vini and Martha co-authored, Thrifty Witchery: Magick for the Penny-Pinching Practitioner, at Llewellyn Books, Amazon, or your local Barnes and Noble. If you’re local to Atlanta, you can see them presenting in-person at Mystic South, July 13-16, 2023.

Episode Show Notes About Practicing Magick on a Budget

Witchcraft: a private practice

In today’s age of public oversharing, Vini and Martha both stress that it’s important to keep some parts of your magickal practice private. You never know whose influence is going to change the outcome of your work. Becky immediately embraced the advice, and now won’t be sharing any more of her spells with us. But with your own copy of Thrifty Witchery, you might soon be able to get a peek through the witch window and reverse engineer your own spells.

Who is the Goddess Hecate?

Maiden, mother, or crone? Earth, Hell, or Heavens? Olympian, demi-god, or titan? Homemaker, caregiver, or hero? There’s a lot of personalities stored inside Hecate, patron of witches. Stay tuned for this week’s bonus episode about Hekate, where we burp the lid to get a whiff of the trichotomous nature of this powerful ancient deity of ghosts and liminal spaces. See you at the crossroads!

Episode Summary

Who is the most famous ghost you’ve ever seen? Do you think people who are loved and revered by the masses long after death have more energy to manifest? 

Our guest today has seen her fair share of ghosts, but some of those ghosts are of people you’ve probably heard of. Perhaps it’s because she gives ghost tours of one of the most haunted districts in the U.S. Or maybe these particular ghosts like her commitment to ethics in business. Let’s hear from Rachel, founder of Vampyre Cosmetics, today, on Homespun Haints.

About the Guest, Rachel Clinesmith

Rachel is the founder and CEO of Vampyre Cosmetics. She is also the Editor in Chief of Vampyre Magazine and Co-Owner & Founder of Vampyre Cosmetics LLC. Actually Autistic & ADHD, makeup has been a special interest since she was 13. She has been designing custom cosmetics products for a number of other independent brands and celebrities since 2011. She created Vampyre Cosmetics LLC for the niches mainstream brands leave behind. Her experience working with the music, pinup, burlesque, and horror communities/industries has given her first-hand knowledge of the needs of these subcultures.

Bloody Mary’s Voodoo Museum

Rachel gives ghost tours through Bloody Mary’s Tours and Haunted Museum. Voodoo Queen Bloody Mary’s home apparently had enough strange entities to sincerely disturb the crew of Ghost Adventures. Some entities came with the house, some came with Mary, some came with the artifacts. And some may have come slithering in with the filthy flood waters of Hurricane Katrina. You can speak to the ghosts yourself at one of their séance experiences.

Feeling the fear of ghosts

Rachel posits that empaths living in a haunted place are likely to sometimes feel afraid of the ghosts. But she proposes that a lot of this fear is fear of the unknown, not necessarily a sign of a malevolent force. And if we are afraid of the unknown (ghosts), surely the ghosts are also afraid of the unknown (us).

The Ursuline Convent Casket Girls; truth vs. fact

As Rachel said, if there are vampires, and they are real, they’re probably in New Orleans. But were they shipped over in coffins to hide in the upper floor of the French Quarter convent in 1706? Or were vampires just a convenient scapegoat for mosquito borne illness, tuberculosis, and cholera?

The filles à la cassette were basically mail-order brides, shipped in to populate the new port city of New Orleans. The lore has gained some embellishment over the years. Ok, a lot of embellishment. Filles à la cassette became Filles à la casquette. The girls and their cases/caskets never lived in the convent’s attic.

Also, the attic windows are not really bolted on the outside. But when entire families were dying out from poorly understood diseases, vampirism seemed as good an explanation as any. These girls were the newest kids in town. Coming straight from convents and orphanages in Europe, they were probably ill-equipped to stand up for themselves in the new world port towns full of trappers, soldiers, and hookers.

New Orleans’ Unconventional Heroes and their Famous Ghosts

Despite its history as a plantation city, New Orleans has always represented some ideals of democracy ahead of its time. NOLA was one of the only locations in the early American settlements where even enslaved people had the opportunity to pursue a better life by buying their own freedom. And, as Rachel said, the famous figures which NOLA considers heroes would be villains elsewhere. Here are some she talks about in this episode.

• Pere Antoine, a priest who disobeyed orders to minister to everyone, including slaves and prisoners. The city rallied to keep after the local vicar booted him in 1805. His ghost now haunts the French Quarter alley named for him.
• Jean Lafitte, a straight up pirate. While he did all the nasty things most associate with pirates, locals viewed him as a sort of Robin Hood figure. There’s still a bar in the French Quarter inside the blacksmith shop he and his brother Pierre dealt out of. In fact, it might be the oldest structure used as a bar in the United States.
• Marie Laveau, voodoo queen and local hero. Rachel tells the story of spotting the famous voodoo priestess’ ghost in this episode. Throughout the mid 19th century, Marie Laveau used her magic and influence to help New Orleans locals of all social strata. She’s buried in St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 of NOLA…or is she?

Sarah Winchester as a Philanthropist

Rachel’s business partner actually lives on the property of the Winchester Mystery House, so they frequently get the chance to see the ghosts there. Rachel provides the theory that Sarah wasn’t just a nutty old lady who kept building exclusively out of fear. Her goal was to atone for the lives lost due to her husband’s family’s rifle. But just playing lip service to atonement wasn’t her jam. By keeping up continuous construction, Sarah actually used her husband’s money to employ many residents of San Jose, CA.

We can’t wait for Vampyre Cosmetics’ 3D Winchester House-inspired makeup palette to come out June of 2023!

Haunted Atchison, KS

Rachel says that there are plenty of ghosts to see in Atchison, KS. But she also warns that the entities there are malevolent. Perhaps avoid ghost tourism in the area. Because if you visit once, you’ll possibly get stuck there.

Have you seen a famous ghost in New Orleans, California, Kansas, or elsewhere?

Or do you run your own spooky business? Why not submit to tell your story on the next episode of Homespun Haints? And if you’ll be in NOLA soon, remember to request Rachel as your French Quarter tour guide at bloodymarystours.com to have a historically accurate spooky day.

New Orleans Legends

Legends are born from truth, and lore has origins in history. Over time, friendly ghosts become sinister, warnings become curses, and the swamp swallows up the truth. Today, we speak with Brandon from Southern Gothic, who, along with his sister Brianne, goes to great lengths to find the real history behind some of America’s most bizarre legends. Oftentimes the real history is stranger than the lore.

About the guest: Brandon Schexnayder of Southern Gothic

Brandon and his sister Bryanne were born in New Orleans. The siblings’ parents dragged them along on their hunt for obscure genealogy long before anything could be Googled. As children, their eyes couldn’t roll hard enough at their parents’ obsession with scouring cemeteries and library archives for tiny pieces of their ancestry puzzle.

As the internet opened up access to more obscure history, the siblings decided it was their turn to research and tell stories. They dig deep into the history, legends, and true crime stories of the American South on their podcast Southern Gothic.

Bryanne is a professional archivist, which is evident in the rich detail and historical accuracy of their stories. At the time of this interview, she’s just been published in Feminine Macabre Anthologies Volume III. Brandon is a lifelong audio engineer, which is evident from the incredible sound of their podcast. He moved to Franklin, TN and worked in Music Row recording studios, helping artists like George Strait, Dolly Parton, and Lee Ann Womack make their albums.

More ways to experience Southern Gothic

Becky and Diana came soooo close to getting a ghost tour of Franklin, TN, from Brandon when we visited Nashville in 2022, but sadly it wasn’t in the cards (stupid storm). If you play your cards right, you can catch him as a guide for some of the spookier offerings by Franklin Walking Tours. Keep up with Brandon and Southern Gothic on FB/IG @southerngothicmedia or on Twitter @SoGoPodcast.

Southern Gothic will also be at the following.

• Haunted America Con, June 24-25, 2022 in Alton, IL.
• Dark History and Horror Con, August 19-20, 2022 in Champaign, IL.
• True Crime Podcast Festival, August 26-28, 2022 in Dallas, TX.

The Voodoo Curse of Julia Brown: one of New Orleans’ fascinating legends

Brandon starts this episode of New Orleans legends with a lovingly curated story of Julia Brown. While Brandon has told this story on his podcast, Bryanne is continually unearthing more information.

The basic story you might have heard: Julia Bernard was born into slavery around 1845. She and her husband Celestin Brown lived in the southeastern Louisiana swamp town of Frenier.

What’s that, you say? You’ve never heard of Frenier? Well, that’s no surprise, considering Julia put a voodoo curse on the whole town, resulting in it being wiped off the map by a classic category 4 New Orleans hurricane on the very day the town gathered for her funeral.

…or did she?

Who was this folklore figure, in real life? How has her reputation morphed over the past century? Also, how did this highly-valued local healer, midwife, mother, and farmer get the reputation of a wicked Voodoo priestess? (And by The Weather Channel, of all sources!)

Julia Brown’s story

Julia Brown (born Julia Bernard) lived in Frenier, a small farming community in St. John the Baptist Parish, near Lake Pontchartrain. The man she married, Celestin Brown, received a plot of land there for his service in the Civil War. The community of Frenier was mostly German immigrants, and its economy was based largely on exporting sauerkraut to Chicago.

Julia Brown was not just a New Orleans legend, but a real person, confirmed in census records and articles from the Times-Picayune. She was a sort of folk healer; a nice lady who used her meager resources to help her neighbors when she could. She also held a reputation for practicing voodoo. We get the feeling that this was similar to the way Appalachian Granny Women practiced healing, which, poorly understood at the time, felt like witchcraft to the local yokels.

Julia Brown, Louisiana voodoo priestess?

Whether or not Julia Brown ever intentionally practiced Voodoo or placed any curses at all is unclear. We’re guessing it was probably after one of her ungrateful white clients disrespected her yet again that she decided to leverage her wicked reputation. She began dropping salty hints that furthered her notoriety. We like to think she could’ve played many pranks on rude or ignorant locals, no doubt mostly harmless, but stealthily building clout as someone who they shouldn’t mess with.

The main thing people talk about, however, is how she began singing eerie songs on her front porch. Songs with lyrics like “One day I’m gonna die and take the whole town with me.” Knowing what we know about Southerners being casually morbid, this chipper little ditty might’ve been just a folk tune at the time, much like Ring Around the Rosie is an adorable kid’s song about an awful death from Bubonic Plague. Little did the townsfolk know, Julia Brown’s lyric was about to get a whole lot more meaningful.

The Legend of Julia Brown

Julia Brown died of old age on September 29, 1915. Her funeral was held in her home; her casket placed in the customary wooden box on her front porch. During the funeral, a massive hurricane struck, bringing in a devastating storm surge. The hurricane destroyed the Illinois Central Railroad depot (there goes the sauerkraut export business) and the entire town of Frenier, along with some other towns in the New Orleans area.

In hindsight, the superstitious townsfolk decided that Julia’s salty songs were actually a curse. They started the legend that she actually caused the disastrous September storm, and that she did so spitefully, magically, and definitely on purpose.

Was the storm really a curse? Did Julia Brown intend to curse the town with Voodoo weather magic? Either way, the perfectly-timed hurricane that left Frenier a ghost town cemented her place in local lore.

Can you visit Frenier today?

Cajun Pride Swamp Tours offers a boat ride that takes you through the cypress trees of St. John the Baptist Parish to the remains of Frenier in Manchac Swamp.

Always great to talk with another paranormal podcaster!

Brandon told us he could talk about ghosts all day. With his entrancing voice and artful prose, we could listen to him tell ghost stories all day. The Southern Gothic podcast focuses on historical accuracy and respect for its subjects. It’s also full of true mysteries about the darker side of New Orleans’ history. Pull it up on your phone next time you’ve got a campfire going and nobody has a ghost story to share.

And if you do, you’ll be sure to have have a spooky day!

Delphine and Louis LaLaurie

Alrighty, so contemporary accounts may have exaggerated the gruesome events taking place at the LaLaurie mansion, but regardless I think we can all agree that the LaLaurie’s sound like some bad mofos. While we might never know the actual truth of the history, I can tell you definitively that there are ghosts at LaLaurie mansion in New Orleans mansion.

The Ghosts at LaLaurie Mansion

People have heard moans, groans and even shrieks while inside the mansion. Some have described hearing the dragging of chains and scratching from the walls. Over the last few decades there have been multiple reports of people seeing a woman with long, red hair glaring at them in various parts of the mansion. (Did I mention Delphine was a redhead?)

In the 1870s, the mansion was converted into apartments, mostly occupied by immigrant dock workers and their families. While many children reported hearing and seeing all kinds of paranormal activity, the adults dismissed their stories, because children do have active imaginations after all. imaginations. But that all changed late one evening when one of the dock workers came home and found a large African American man in chains blocking a stairway. The dock worker demanded he move out of the way, but the large man didn’t respond. When the dock worker went to push him out of the way, his hands went right through the large man and then he dissolved into a cold mist. Freaked out by his paranormal encounter, the dock worker spread the word that ghosts haunted the building.

In the late 19th century, the building was once again converted, this time into an all-girls school. Students often reported experiencing strange physical assaults like pinching, hitting or scratching. When a teacher would ask them who their assailant was, the poor girls would always answer “that woman” while showing their bruises or scratches. I wonder if any of them described “that woman” as having long, red hair?

A cursed building?

Many people have bought and sold the LaLaurie mansion over the years, and each one of them seems to come into a string of bad luck. Some of them have experienced financial ruin. For others, it has been health issues or even insanity. The house has spared not one owner from these misfortunes. So best of luck to the current owner. It sure sounds like they’re gonna need it!

Lalaurie Mansion: A Grandiose Haunted Mansion

The LaLaurie Mansion at 1140 Royal Street in the French Quarter is widely known for being one of New Orleans’ most haunted buildings. Built in 1832, the original grandiose mansion on Royal Street was an eye-catching baroque beauty complete with intricate wrought-iron balconies all around the second floor.

This impressive house, still one of the largest in the French Quarter, belonged to Delphine and her third husband, Dr. Louis LaLaurie. Yes, this was Delphine’s third marriage; she was already twice widowed when she met Leonard Louis Nicolas LaLaurie. After Delphine gave birth to a child out of wedlock, the two married in 1828. According to those close to the couple, the marriage was not a happy one.

Leonard Louis Nicolas LaLaurie bought Delphine a mansion on Royal Street

Unhappy marriage or not, they had an image to uphold within New Orleans society. After moving into their magnificent mansion, the pair gained a reputation for the lavish parties they liked to throw at their private residence.

Now, the building that stands today on Royal Street is not the original home that the LaLauries occupied. Because, in 1834, an angry mob burned the original LaLaurie Mansion to the ground after the citizens of New Orleans discovered what had occurred in this cursed home. Honestly, I’m a bit surprised they rebuilt the place at all, given what I’m about to tell you.

Still reading? Okay, don’t say I didn’t warn you…You see, the details that made the LaLauries truly infamous came to light after a fire broke out in the mansion’s kitchen in 1834. It turns out Doctor and Madame LaLaurie were hiding a vile secret; they had a penchant for inflicting brutal sadistic torture on the enslaved people working in the mansion

Warning: Gruesome facts below about the LaLaurie Mansion

Rescuers broke down the door into the slave’s quarters, and encountered a truly gruesome sight. They discovered mutilated slaves, all covered in scars and held in place by multiple heavy chains. Among their poor enslaved victims, many torture devices were found. The men and women were they chained up, some even suspended by their necks. In addition, they were also routinely tortured with pincers, whips and heavy iron collars with sharpened points to pierce painfully into their necks. Everyone had various shocking injuries. Some people had gouged out eyes, grisly wounds from large areas of skin that had been flayed off and left to fester, and fingernails brutally ripped completely off from the root.

But…it gets worse

As hard as it is to imagine, it gets much worse. The enslaved woman that started the fire was discovered bound by chains in the kitchen. Once freed, she led her rescuers to the attic, where even more men, women and even children were kept. When they opened the heavy door, they were overcome with the smell of decay and rot. Some of these victims had body parts stitched to other areas like tongues sewn onto chins or a severed hand sewn onto their abdomen.

Clearly, the LaLauries were a couple of sadistic sickos!

A few of the women had mixtures of offal and ash stuffed into their orifices. Others were smeared all over with honey in the hopes to attract armies of ants. Some victims even had holes drilled into their skulls so Madame LaLaurie could use a stick to stir their brains around. One woman was locked in a cage and had had her limbs all broken and reset in such a way that she resembled a crab. Y’all, there’s so much more heinousness but I’d like to not lose my lunch. Clearly, the LaLauries were a couple of sadistic sickos!

It could have ended sooner, but…

Sadly, years before this macabre discovery, rumors swirled about Madame LaLaurie’s ill-treatment of her enslaved people. She was even investigated for cruelty in 1828. Records show she paid for legal services to get out of any real trouble.

News of the first responders’ ghastly encounters quickly spread throughout the city. An angry mob gathered outside the mansion, forcing the LaLauries to flee New Orleans. The LaLauries eventually made their way to Paris, where they successfully hid from authorities. Delphine died in Paris almost twenty years later, without ever having to pay for her heinous crimes. And then an investor rebuilt the mansion in 1838 as an African American girl’s school. Eek!

But, is it all true?

While Madame LaLaurie will go down in history as a sadistic serial killer, many revisionist historical accounts say her crimes have been exaggerated over the years. Revisionists say no one was “experimented on,” and many of the more disgusting offenses seem to change with each telling. After all, much of the “reports” of her abuse come from her neighbor, Monsieur Montreuil. Montreuil had a bit of a crush on Delphine, which she spurned. Since that time, the crimes committed by Delphine LaLaurie have gained the allure and life of folklore.

That said, the LaLauries were not saints. They did chain, whip, and brutalize the enslaved people in the mansion. But, it’s likely the tortures they inflicted on these pour souls were no worse than the tortures inflicted on enslaved plantation workers. Genteel NOLA society would have found these methods gruesome. But in the countryside, the LaLauries would have been no different from their neighbors. And that, my friends, is possibly the most heinous part of all.

Regardless, there’s a bunch of ghosts haunting the LaLaurie Mansion

Yikes! I warned y’all this one was especially gruesome! So obviously, with the amount of atrocities perpetrated inside the LaLaurie mansion, there’s plenty of paranormal activity. If you aren’t too freaked out, come back next week to get the deets on the ghosts haunting the mansion today. And if you get the chance, check out some of the haunted tours that include the LaLaurie Mansion.
