Description:

New Orleans is known for its haunted places and LaLaurie Mansion is one of the most famous. Probably made even more famous after "American Horror Story" season 3 aired, this swanky abode was once the home of Madame Delphine LaLaurie. While many of her alleged offenses were most likely fabricated it is clear that she was a cruel woman responsible for the deaths of slaves in her household. Today, the house is privately owned and trespassing is strictly forbidden.
