A Ghost Writers Album – New Orleans, LA
January 11, 2011
St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, New Orleans, LA, 2010
One of our favorite cities is New Orleans. The ambiance of this city is perfect for a team of paranormal investigators because there is a palatable feeling of sharing a space with those who can no longer be seen. As if generations of past New Orleanians loved their city so much that they could not bear to leave it, in life or death.
For your consideration, we bring to you an album of photographs of the extraordinarily and eerily beautiful St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. Founded in 1789, it was the first of New Orleans’ famous cities of the dead. There are several interesting photos in the album. The photo of the pyramid is Nicholas Cages’ nine foot high crypt, which is at his disposal when needed. The white tomb you will see (there are two photos) is of the famous Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau’s final resting place. Her tomb is marked with a series of three X’s from individuals who have come to her tomb to beseech her for help. There is an old tomb, also marked with a series of X’s. Is this the final resting place of another, though less well known, Voodoo priest or priestess? Just click on “View Slideshow” below the collage of photos to be transported to New Orleans’ first above ground city of the dead.
