About This Location
One of the most storied homes in the French Quarter, this 1826 raised cottage housed Confederate General Pierre G.T. Beauregard after the Civil War and author Frances Parkinson Keyes in the 1940s-60s. Chess prodigy Paul Morphy was born and died here, allegedly driven mad by demons.
The Ghost Story
Civil War soldiers in grey uniforms stand with vacant expressions before dematerializing. The main hallway hosts ghostly recreations of the Battle of Shiloh, complete with cannon fire and the smell of blood. General Beauregard searches eternally for boots he left behind. Paul Morphy, driven mad, once ran naked down Chartres Street with an ax claiming demons chased him. A 1908 Mafia massacre in the dining room left three dead, adding more spirits. Ghost cat Caroline and a spectral dog complete the supernatural menagerie.
