Are we surprised to be back to New Orleans for another paranormal distraction? Not really, although Christie doesn't seem to remember this one. This week, we're discussing the hauntings of 716 Dauphine Street - popularly known as The Sultan's Palace or the Gardette-LePretre Mansion (which Alex butchered the pronunciation) seems to have a bit of a mysterious, and confusing past. Tune in to hear more about the local lore and reported hauntings of this NOLA location! Need a distraction? We got you.
