  • "The history of New Orleans is filled with colorful characters, from pirates and priests to musicians, authors and artists…but if you ask anyone who the most notorious individual in the history of the city is, they’re gonna tell you, its the infamous Madame Marie Delphine LaLaurie." Madame Delphine LaLaurie was a wealthy socialite in 19th-century New Orleans, infamous for the horrific treatment of enslaved people in her mansion. In 1834, a fire at her Royal Street home led to the discovery of tortured individuals, solidifying her reputation as one of the city's most sinister figures. Today, the LaLaurie Mansion stands as one of the most haunted and infamous buildings in the French Quarter. Though privately owned and not open to the public, it remains a focal point on ghost tours, drawing visitors intrigued by its dark history.
