Being the most haunted place in America means that New Orleans has an abundance of eerie tales for Cassidy to choose from. With too many options to just pick one join us on our second Minisode as Cassidy mashes together two stories: the notorious pirate Jean Lafitte and the noteable trial of Dr. Etienne Deschamps.

We can't believe it took us 10 episodes before we covered New Orleans! Notorious for its haunts & sentimental to Ally, New Orleans perfectly caters to both halves of our podcast. This week Ally walks us through some of her favorite activities to do as a local after living in the city for 5 years⁠—including everything from music houses and beignets to charcuterie. Then, Cassidy covers New Orleans & Frenier resident Julia Brown, her live as a Voodoo Priestess, and the curse she left behind!
