In this episode of Loreplay, Dayna Pereira dives into the chilling true history and twisted folklore surrounding the infamous LaLaurie Mansion and its most notorious resident, Delphine LaLaurie.What began as whispers of cruelty turned into full-blown horror after an 1834 fire exposed something so disturbing it sent an entire city into a violent frenzy. We’ll walk through the confirmed history, the rumors that grew in the shadows, the alleged medical experimentation, the mob destruction, and the long list of owners who couldn’t—or wouldn’t—stay.From enslaved victims whose voices were erased, to reports of screaming walls, shadow figures, and restless spirits, this episode asks the uncomfortable question: When a house witnesses evil… does it remember?Listener discretion advised—this one’s dark, historical, and not for the faint of heart.The Times-Picayune (1834 fire reports and court records)Harriet Martineau – Retrospect of Western Travel (1838)George Washington Cable – historical essays on New Orleans societyHenry Castellanos – New Orleans As It WasJeanne deLavigne – Ghost Stories of Old New Orleans (1946)Louisiana State Archives – court documents regarding Delphine LaLaurieSmithsonian Magazine – historical context on slavery in New OrleansNew Orleans Historic Collection (HNOC)Library of Congress archives on 19th-century Louisiana newspapersWikepedia- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphine_LaLaurie","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qrKRCVgS-SidSX8b9CGzZDHhnpF4bwxZyw2FLc5pukw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83MTBl/MDI3MGZkZGE0M2U0/MmJlYjhmNGQ4NjAy/NmY0Ny5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
