Haunted House in New Orleans - Lalaurie Mansion

[@douglaz74]

The lalauries I am sure were not alone in committing torture against their Slaves.

[@MissMaddy881]

Delphine had a cousin who did the same to her slaves. I'm not sure what happened to her, but her name was Celeste.

[@rockypaquin8834]

I didn't know that

[@dominiquexo4772]

America does it now

[@harleymariamariesaenz6364]

This is so crazy

[@monicaraesmith]

I am a Louisiana Native ans lived in New Orleans while attending Tulane.I knew AHS Coven used this as a storyline but I recently discovered this was actually a true story...like two weeks ago ...recently.I have passed by this place so many times. Get BACK SATAN!!!!

[@MissLjtorrie]

Its interesting that the Madame of LaLaurie was more so accused of the torture then her surgeon husband surely they were equally responsible for most of the evil acts to those poor souls may they RIP

[@creepyclowness2520]

Honestly, I think that the husband may have been the one leading the torture

[@xDeepPurpleDreamx]

This is truely horrifying, it's so hard to believe how evil people can be, but it's such a fastinating story thanks so much for uploading!

[@99oildrops]

If you Google "Lalaurie Mansion Interior" and go to images you would be shocked at how colorful and cheerful it looks on the inside despite all it's dark history. One look at it and you'd be thinking; "So all that really happened there?" D:'

[@isabellatorres8293]

who came here for AHS coven?

[@anonymoose8695]

Me

[@matthewosborn9108]

me

[@tsgumi]

Me

[@maiajones9765]

me I came here from American horror story the Coven which I have on DVD

[@teenangst339]

Isabella Is My Name I came here because I live near there and whilst everyone is weird I'm just calm

[@shaundenham495]

I've been past this building and trust me you can feel the spirits and even see them this is one house in NOLA you don't walk past.

[@paulinewalker3478]

the reason why people say its madame Lalaurie only , because I think since there no evidence that her husband had anything to do with while a witness saw Lalaurie abusing a 12 year old slave and kill the poor girl while no one saw her husband doing anything, but there could be a chance he did get involve in her evil schemes

[@EvilSecondTwin]

@fuiiee Is there a book or DVD about those crimes? If so, please, let me know. Thanks.....

[@niccismith3060]

Went to New Orleans back in Halloween of 2001, after hearing about this horrific story ('st francisville experiment' movie).. The mansion was incredibly beautiful, but eerily dark and creepy.. The last I heard, Nicholas Cage was it's last owner..

[@brawyn777]

@fuiiee was this ever made into a movie or book?if so what is the name of the book?

[@MissMaddy881]

Madame Lalaurie was in her 40's when she married Louis. He was in his 20's and they had a son together.

[@Animegal227]

She was 38, which was close

[@nicolenc2140]

This website isn't for the kids. Hate is a strong word and sometimes we use it out of context. Hate is not good for the heart because it takes up room. Instead of worrying about someone else be happy. Hate can be caused by jealousy, frustration, and anger. If you actually hate someone then you shouldn't care about them enough to take the time to hate them. Sometimes when people are frustrated and anything can make them upset but that’s when you take 5 breaths and let it disappear never to return. Don't assume all whites are racist and there are racist Black people, too! It's NOT just a “White Thing”. The fact some dark color skin people said, "I hate white people, they are all racist" completely contradicts you saying that you are not racist, you generalizing all white people and labeling them as racist, is, in itself, a racist comment because you are describing someone’s character by their skin color. I pray for the day all suffer will end.

[@askquestionsplz]

+Natasha Carpenter you can't have peace without suffering, you just said it yourself. without one the other cannot be recognized.. much like love and hate.

[@brawyn777]

i stumbled across this video,and would love to know anything about this Lalaurie mansion,is there a book on this?where could i look for more info,was there ever a movie made about the happenings in this house,i am very interested in this,dont really know why,guess it just catches me,God help them poor people that died there

[@leetimbs2113]

Were there really wealthy doctors in the early 1800s and before? I mean, the local barbers were also the dentist. Treatments for sicknesses were bleedings for the most part.

[@Irreverent_RVer]

Hmmm good point, have you found out if it is still there?

[@MissMaddy881]

@ayootyke i've been at this house, too and i'm from new orleans. i had a pic of it on my old phone, but i got a new one last xmas. i've been to the myrtles, but haven't stayed the night.

[@Irreverent_RVer]

Did you put it up?

[@admiralkirk3]

@scaryforkids What happened was is that Nicholas Cage's Property group bought the house, but he was unable to sell it to someone else and could no longer make the payments. So the bank foreclosed on the house and he lost it.

[@BooteyMasta]

Sam and Dean Winchester could have saved all those poor slaves!

[@DJKingJames504]

True. Lol.

[@ogopogoo]

Do you still have that picture?

[@101sakurakiss]

@fuiiee also the 12 year old girl she chased onto the roof with a wipe. The girl jumped and died and was buried in a shallow grave under the Cypress Trees. The neighbor witnessed that.

[@Irreverent_RVer]

At the end, did they say it is part of a restaurant now? Does anyone have the address?

[@MissMaddy881]

i just read this in another book about n.o. ghosts: delphine had a daughter that either had a deformity or was disabled and one of the female slaves testified that she was beaten by her mother for giving the slaves in the attic food. also, she would leave a sip of her wine for her butler who rarely left her side.

[@infinityimage18]

This video and home are awesome. I was in New Orleans last year on vacation and took a haunted history tour, one of the stops was the Lalaurie Mansion. It is now home to Nicholas Cage belive it or not! I dont think it ever was a restruant as the clip says.

[@rammsteinforeva]

"very pale, very attractive" - Damn He must be crazy to find that hideous ghost attractive o_o

[@debrataylor1542]

The home is now owned by a private couple. I make it a point to walk across the street when I past by. You just get that eerie feeling just being by the house.

[@bresslesu2606]

What kind of eerie feeling? Like a presence?

[@debrataylor1542]

Yes, and like you're being watched. Just pure evil.

[@bresslesu2606]

Oh my...I don't know how I would handle that. I would go nuts.

[@sierrahedberg3403]

bress lesu I walked passed it in the day and I was fine but at night the feeling changed and I wanted to run like hell.

[@neworleansvamp]

I've been to New Orleans and I've been to the LaLaurie home. The energy from the house is awful, evil. I couldn't stand next to the house . Even standing across the street made my stomach turn

[@StorybookVolunteer]

Those poor people. This is one of those incidents where you want to go back and stop something from happening.

[@Femmefatale1990]

@tigerlilly10 yeah, I hear different things about her husband. Supposedly he turned a blind-eye to her activities. I never heard that he'd been dead though.

[@hippiechik95]

Why is it that all these tragic events seem to happen in the mid to late 1880s?

[@austincampbell3126]

I got to see the mansion. It scared me to death when i heard the story

[@starcrow54]

Such a sad and negative place and they make it into a restaurant? Awful......

[@alexberry1098]

my aunt told me about this she gives ghost tours in new orleans

[@moshimonstersfan1231]

I'm a kid I'm only 9

[@reslynvillagonzalo7234]

Is this story have a movie cover or something..?

[@fallingawayfromthenorm]

I've been to this house, oh my god! I remember hearing this story when I went on a ghost tour in New Orleans.

[@MissMaddy881]

I'm currently reading another book about her. So far, it's good. It's called Madame Lalaurie and it tells the truth about her and her crime.

[@laurabounds6917]

this woman was a sick human being

[@SpellboundWolf]

The door was tarred shut. Also, the account with the baby had more to it. When the ghost vanished from leaning over the crib, the mother discovered that her daughter had a sock shoved into her mouth.

[@youngboylove1956]

and they wonder why slaves rebelled ,this is exactly why

[@robert4you]

Thanks for the info. According to papers here in Sweden Nicolas Cage have had economic and financial problems for some time now... The interesting question is: Did he know what happened in the house before he bought it?

[@Solidsnake856]

Also, here's this if you want to learn more about it : patch.com/missouri/stcharles/local-historian-unveals-secrets-of-mad-madame-lalaurie

[@MissMaddy881]

there needs to be a haunting evidence episode about this. i'm sure we all would love to know what was going through lalaurie's head when she was killing the slaves.

[@CoeneArts]

He's got big balls, She's got big balls, But we've got the biggest Balls of them all!

[@VanessaNaomiR]

you guys commented on everything but the fact that somebody could actually be this cruel.......i mean how could they? it's not human!

[@mskyler615]

He didnt know it was haunted untill he had went on the same tour you were on. Went inside gathered his bags and has never returned again.

[@ThePeaceoutsuckers]

@scaryforkids agreed ive actually been there its really scray cause im a paranormal kid and i was scared id get the allusion that my leg was going to be snapped or somethng but i stayed in the street the entire time. :) i nvr want to go there again.

[@brawyn777]

was there a book or movie ever made from this story? wow,this is so interesting

[@katelynnnguyen2535]

There is a TV show called American Horror Story: Coven about it. The series isn't entirely surrounded by Lalaurie Mansion, but it has lots about her in it. Madame Lalaurie is also a main character in American Horror Story Coven .

[@sierrahedberg3403]

Katelynn Nguyen Actually in the show it was never in the real home because the owner would not allow it. They had to film in the house next store. But also the show never truthfully showed the deep horrible real side of Madame Lalaurie. Ask locals in New Orleans they all say that.

[@Savage-lx6xu]

This isn't for kids! I'm only 10 and I'm scared to go to sleep now😰

[@nicoleeno1397]

I thought it was a restaurant and it shouldn't be torn down because no one should forget what this horrible women did to these innocent people.

[@GiRLyandCuRLiE]

When I was on the ghost tour in the French Quarter, the house was empty. I don't think anyone has owned it in a while. Apparently, she disappeared during her parties to torture her poor servants. What would posses someone to do this to innocent people??

[@JM3DP]

Actually, New Orleans has no negative energy. You cannot feel it until you witness it. I've been before. It's cool.

[@AlexAcE1]

nice... must visit that mansion:)

[@hippiechik95]

I wasn't referring to slaves specifically. I was referring to the videos on this channel documenting events from that time period.

[@MissMaddy881]

@femmefatale1990 i haven't heard anything about him dying, either. her first two husbands did, though. her first child never knew her father because he died like right before she was born. there seems to be a lot of controversy over how many children she had.

[@MissMaddy881]

@ThePeaceoutsuckers in another version, the girl was 12. i've read many versions of the story online, and they all said she was seven.

[@robert4you]

@neworleansvamp I do not understand why the famous actor Nicolas Cage bought this house? What kind of person would buy a place like that? In my mind only a very sick person wants to own the LaLaurie Home. It would be interesting to listen to Mr Cages explanation...

[@MsStormyWaters]

I fully intend to one day own this house. I will have a small restaurant on the ground floor and a B&B on the upper levels.

[@danielrsson2171]

You crazy?

[@sarab34r]

if you want to see a movie on this, there was a mockumentary filmed in the actual house. Its called The Saint Francisville Experiment. look that shit up. Its actually on youtube divided up into 5 parts.

[@severyn1982]

this is the reason why im going to new orleans...aside from the wonderful food and culture

[@youngboylove1956]

and they complain when we revolt

[@shreve99]

Most of us in Louisiana do not think so. I LOVE Kathy Bates and think she's a fantastic actress, but this part is not right for her. Mme. LaLaurie was a very svelte and cultured woman and would have had a French accent, since most people in New Orleans still spoke French at that time. Ms. Bates' accent doesn't sound remotely like a Louisiana accent, but rather one from the backwoods of Mississippi or Alabama...I hate to say this.

[@MissMaddy881]

The mob burned the original house, so the one that's there today was built some time after the fire.

[@monicaraesmith]

BTW: I think Nicolas Cage is the owner of this creepy establishment.

[@rebelwithacause666]

he sold it because of money trouble people think it's because of the curse

[@tvazproductions2011]

He was. Until he sold it because he wasn't pleased with all the evil spirits aching to wake and haunt Nicolas so he moved

[@Sesshyltachi]

Does anyone else notice the guy's voice is Lionel Luthor from Smallville?

[@jakedizzle]

Just so you know he lost them he didn't leave willingly. "On Friday, Nov. 13th it was announced that actor Nicolas Cage had lost his two historically significant New Orleans mansions to foreclosure." Here's the article about Nic and the mansion: open.salon(.)com/blog/joanpgage/2009/11/19/nicolas_cage_and_the_lalaurie_house_curse

[@douglaz74]

The Lalauries represent what the abolitionists had been claiming. Slavery was an evil that needed to be eradicated by whatever means. SO I guess the Slaves were not happy to be on those religiously blessed Beautiful mansions.

[@AlpacaNYC]

I agree slavery is evil but the Lalauries did was beyond the norm of their times, and even some racists would be disgusted at the knowledge of the facts about this case.

[@fuiiee]

what was not told is that LaLaurie had mutilated her servants' arms, sewn them at different parts of the bodies to resemble "human crab" and grafted bodies to look like caterpillars, without hands or legs. And much more horribly with the men. All these while they are very much alive and even breathing when discovered. This woman deserves eternal hell for her dispicable and inhumane acts. The story of the slaves literally set me crying. Such a sick world.

[@Artey86]

The actor that plays the ghost of the naked black guy with the chain is freaking hot.

[@MissMaddy881]

@miyustage i've read that she was seven. one book i have says she was 12.

[@punkkitten63]

@heirloomgirl He used to but sold it due to disturbances.

[@RabuHina]

Creepy I remember reading about this in a book once.

[@MissMaddy881]

read madame lalaurie by carolyn morrow long

[@Adarvuli]

pur frumos şi captivant :)

[@LiveLaughLovePegasus]

Okay that's cool. I didn't need to sleep.

[@MissMaddy881]

@JERSEYDEVIL9 the french quarter was ok after katrina. it actually fared better than the rest of the city.

[@rebeksando9166]

I can understand wealthy people having servants too much money not enough sense and all that but I do not comprehend how any one could treat other human beings any less than they would want to be treated hey....

[@davidsiderio5953]

I was just there and there was a cook in the kitchen that set the fire and chained herself to the stove. So someone had to help her

[@PancakeSally]

She had some big old balls . . . Everybody admired them from miles around!

[@Meg-ul8nw]

Wow this is interesting

[@robert4you]

I think he did the right thing. Thanks for the comment.

[@MissMaddy881]

@bloodvein3 they're not tearing it down because it's history. i hate that many people had to die because of this woman's hatred for them.

[@mmandem]

i live in louisiana new orleans fam but now baton rouge. i did my history project on her she is seriously messed up.

[@DPKman]

The woman and her husband were clearly possessed by the devil. It's so sad and disgusting to hear of torture like this. The amount of hate showed for the color of ones skin... Makes me want to cry... What makes people do stuff like that...... Yuck.

[@AnimefanArtist]

did you know that the guy for national treasure bought that house. and clueless of what happened there?

[@jediskunk67]

I know the legend of this place.

[@jakedizzle]

Yea, I'm curious if he ever ended up spending a night in that mansion. I would assume he knew about the history of the mansion since he didn't spend at least one night in it. If he didn't know I'm sure he would have stayed a night after buying it none the wiser of its bad karma. Since he stated in the article he doesn't want ghost hunters in there to exploit the ghosts that makes him out to be pretty spiritual. Making him seem more inclined to believe in said karma. I could be wrong though lol.

[@MissMaddy881]

@360deeman nope. he didn't want that man to suffer from her like he did.

[@orchimaru123]

oh man ima have nightmares today!

[@familyguyrofl]

i can walk down to the french qartuer right now and go to the lalurie mansion

[@alexanderhamilton2670]

I am on a train coming back to my home from New Orleans.

[@dashiamason8136]

Alexander Hamilton driving back

[@kate3628]

how could someone do something like that!!!!??? i mean sure you can get angry or up set but that doesnt mean that you have to kill and rip limbs off of people!!!

[@ThePeaceoutsuckers]

@fuiiee true i heard that from our guide at the house. but ur not supposed to go into the house at all thank GOD! i feel so bad for those ppl!!!! i nvr want to go there again.

[@ThePeaceoutsuckers]

@fuiiee and they also didnt meantion the part about the 7 year old slave girl being chased around the house then jumped off the roof cause she had a whip. :(

[@MissMaddy881]

@GiRLyandCuRLiE she was insane. plain and simple. she obviously had some sort of thing against her slaves. i'm not sure whether it was caused by her parents' death in a slave uprising or something else; i just know she was not a person you wouldn't want to talk to.

[@Femmefatale1990]

@fuiiee yeah, and she had one man unconcious with his brain showing and a spoon used to "stir his brains" and a woman with her entrails wrapped around her waist. They didn't mention the cook chained to the wall in the kitchen who started the fire.

[@ayootyke]

@JERSEYDEVIL9 its still here .

[@MissMaddy881]

@naimolijohanna what?

[@KillYouCFH]

That lady was from Hungary not Louisiana.
