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.\n\nWhat 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.\nFrom 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?\nListener discretion advised—this one’s dark, historical, and not for the faint of heart.\nThe Times-Picayune (1834 fire reports and court records)\nHarriet Martineau – Retrospect of Western Travel (1838)\nGeorge Washington Cable – historical essays on New Orleans society\nHenry Castellanos – New Orleans As It Was\nJeanne deLavigne – Ghost Stories of Old New Orleans (1946)\nLouisiana State Archives – court documents regarding Delphine LaLaurie\nSmithsonian Magazine – historical context on slavery in New Orleans\nNew Orleans Historic Collection (HNOC)\nLibrary of Congress archives on 19th-century Louisiana newspapers\nWikepedia- 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}
