what I'm about to tell you is possibly
one of the most graphic and horrendous
scenes in American history you have been
warned
hey I'm sapphire one here's something
scary in this next chapter I'll be
taking you down south to the French
Quarter of New Orleans Louisiana
let's explore one of the most haunted
locations in the entire city
d'leh Laurie house in 1832
dr. Louisa Laurie and his wife Delphine
moved into their beautiful mansion at
11:40 Royal Street the house was made
for extravagant parties and elite social
gathering Madame LaLaurie was considered
one of the most intelligent and
beautiful women in the entire city every
woman wanted to be her
but as beautiful as she was on the
outside people were beginning to suspect
that something ugly was going on behind
closed doors
like most wealthy families during that
time through Laurie's own slaves they
prepared the meals and made the fancy
party as possible but rumors began to
stir Madame slaves seemed to come and go
quite often don't you think what do you
mean look around do any of these workers
look familiar to you it seems like she
changes them so often huh I wonder why
that is
suspicions have been rising but with no
proof to back any of them up until one
day when a neighbor was climbing her
stairs she heard a scream coming from
Nilla Laurie house and looked over to
see Madame chasing a little girl with a
whip there was nothing she could do but
watch in horror as the little girl
climbed to the rooftop with Madame
following close behind with nowhere to
go
the little girl jumped even though
slaves were barely considered human back
in those times there were still laws
that prohibited exceptionally cruel
treatment so the neighbor called the
authorities who have the laborious
slaves impounded and sold at an auction
the Madame was sneaky she arranged for
her relatives to buy her workers and
sell them back to her after that
incident Madame's reputation began to
change people were no longer eager to
attend the parties at their house nor
even in Iraq
with the family eventually they were
alienated by the Creole society and in
1834 things would only get worse the
Madame kept her cooked chained to the
kitchen by her ankle for whatever reason
Madame had threatened to take her to the
upstairs room this terrified the cook
whenever anyone went up to that room
they never came back
The Cook's decided she would rather die
by her own hand than to suffered by
Madame la Lori's so she set the kitchen
on fire it spread throughout the entire
house and out a part of the mansion was
left unscathed neighbors came rushing
over to help fight the flames but after
the smoke had cleared they made a
horrific discovery in the Attic what I'm
about to tell you is possibly one of the
most graphic and horrendous scene in
American history you have been warned
the fire had burned down the door to
reveal the upstairs room filled with
dozens of naked slaves some were
strapped to what looked like an
operating table a few were chained to
the wall others were crouched in small
cages one woman had her stomach slit
open and her intestines wrapped around
her waist like a cruel corset another
woman's mouth was sewn shut after first
having been filled with animal feces a
man had a hole drilled into his head
with a stick inserted presumably used to
stir his brain most of them had been
dead for a long time and some were
unfortunately not madam and her husband
were both doctors and some theorize that
they were practicing risky medical
operations on their slaves but the
inhumane condition that they were in
suggests that their reasons were less
medical and purely sadistic after the
news of the lalaurie's torture room
spread across the city
a mob ran back to the mansion and
destroyed every last bit of property
deal they even tore up the backyard or
they discovered dozens of buried
skeleton including that of a small child
presumably the young slaves who jumped
off the roof
the mob tastes the lalaurie's out of
town and that was the last anyone had
ever seen of them ever since that day
that house has had trouble getting
tenants to stay residents claimed to
hear constant sounds of way
Alaine children said they were chased by
a woman with a width
year-after-year the house would be
bought just to be resold again today the
mansion is owned by an oil tycoon who
doesn't allow anyone inside I wonder
what he's hiding like this video if it
