Madame Delphine LaLaurie had a sorted past from birth. But in 1834 when her massive mansion in New Orleans caught fire, the truth of her misdeeds finally came to light. Known around by some to be cruel to her slaves, if hearsay is true, that became an understatement when found beneath the smoke and ashes were slaves that had been tortured, abused, if still alive, or left to rot still chained even after death. Madame LaLaurie was never apprehended for her crimes, but her infamy lives on within the bowels of 1140 Royal Street where spirits of the damned can still be seen & heard. To catch the first ever televised paranormal investigation inside the mansion, watch Season 1, Episode 7 of "Portals to Hell."   'Salem's Secret' by Peter Gundry   Merchandise: https://dfwtopodcast.creator-spring.com/   Sponsored by:   Dietsmoke.com - use promo code DFWTO for 50% off your purchase   Betterhelp: Visit betterhelp.com/dfwto to get 10% off when you sign up for your first month.
