This is New Orlean’s French Quarter at night. And this is Name That Tune! First person to comment with the name of the song in this video will be sent a very special prize. I doubt you’ll guess it, but it’s an alternative song from the late 80’s/early 90’s with lines from a traditional Haitian Vodou song. Why this one? Around this time last year, I stayed in the heart of the French Quarter at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel. I was thrown headfirst into a world of voodoo, vampires and spirits. Our hotel was haunted, the St. Louis Cathedral we were across from was haunted, and around the corner from us lied several other very paranormally-active places. I played this song while I got ready to go out in the evenings. I’d have Interview With the Vampire playing on my iPad as one of its balcony scenes was filmed only a couple blocks away. On our top floor was an old ballroom which was home to specters of Creole society from the 1800’s. We’d hang out there before going to bed, undisturbed and alone, listening and watching in the dark, hoping to peer into that other realm. We went out every night looking for vampires and investigating some very well-known haunts. An alleyway across the street from our hotel was haunted by a monk buried inside the cathedral. He was seen late in the evenings and we were always watching for him as we loitered in the shadows of Pirate Alley. We hung out around the former home of St. Germain, who was known as an Immortal, sitting across the street from the Vampire Cafe and the Boutique Du Vampyre. I listened to all of the real vampire legends there, drunk off all of the lore, staring up at the windows of St. Germain’s with longing. We were also a block away from the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum, where we visited with a Voudon priest, who let me handle his ceremonial staff. I bought a Caxixi rattle there, used for calling spirits in rituals. I purchased gris-gris bags, beads, tokens for offerings, special mirrors - anything to help facilitate contact with the Otherworld. We investigated the Rampart Street Murder House, featured in Paranormal Lockdown and pined outside of the LaLaurie Mansion, St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, the haunted Pharmacy Museum and the former home of voodoo queen Marie Laveau. Some places were closed to us due to the pandemic, but fortunately the late-night carriage rides were not, which took us all over the French Quarter, stopping in front of countless legendary haunts while lightning flashed overhead. It was an unforgettable trip. So many strands left askew of that living ghost story and I am looking forward to returning once more.
