Today’s tale is Dancing Octoroon Mistress of New Orleans. On windy and cold December nights, a bare, wraithlike form gyrates and whips about frantically on top of a brick building on Royal Street. Its story comes from long ago and centers around the ill-fated devotion of a young mistress for her callous lover.
The house of the octoroon mistress is 734 Royal Street in New Orleans.
You can find my book series on Amazon and in local bookstores, including this bit of lore that comes from my book Ghost Stories and Folk Tales of New Orleans that has addresses/GPS so you can see the haunted homes, streets, and other locations. https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Stories-Folk.../dp/1940087465 which also has a ghostly walking tour map of the city, the most beloved legends and ghost stories, and information about the haunted cemeteries.
