Just read on Luxist that one of the houses that Nicolas Cage owned in New Orleans is for sale again. The LaLaurie house is at 1100 Royal Street in the Quarter and it has quite the Scandalous past which I will probably write about over at my other blog Scandalous Women. Delphine LaLaurie, who owned it, was found to have kept her slaves chained in her attic in wretched conditions. It wasn't discovered until there was a fire in the house. A mob demanded vengeance but the LaLaurie's just moved to Mandeville where Delphine died in 1842. The house is considered to be haunted. It's on the market again for $.2.9M but I would suggest that you have someone come in and burn some sage or a seance or something before moving in just in case.
