An old story was once retold perhaps two generations ago by Jeanne deLavigne in her book Ghost Stories of Old New Orleans. I think enough time has passed to retell this eerie legend again –Today’s tale is Lost Golden Children. Even after an aged cemetery is removed for development, a stingy ghost returned to search for something he lost.
You can read more ghost stories of New Orleans, get directions to cemeteries, and take a ghostly walking tour of haunted places there in my book, Ghost Stories and Folk Tales of New Orleans. It’s a must-have if you’re heading out to NOLA or if you just enjoy the ghostly tales surrounding the city. https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Stories-Folk.../dp/1940087465
