New Orleans’ eerie charm and gothic architecture have long made it the perfect setting for vampire lore, both on screen and in the shadows of reality. From Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire to the chilling legends of the Casket Girls, the city’s history is steeped in blood-soaked myths. This episode dives into the dark tales lurking behind the French Quarter’s gaslit streets: the Ursuline Convent’s sealed third floor, rumored to hold escaped vampires; the Carter brothers, whose gruesome 1932 crimes left locals fearing undead predators; and the enigmatic Jacques St. Germain, a wealthy socialite suspected of being the immortal Comte de St. Germain. We’ll even explore modern encounters with "energy vampires" draining victims of their vitality. Whether folklore or frightening truth, New Orleans blurs the line between the living and the undead. So, light a candle, lock your doors, and join us, if you dare, for a journey into the heart of vampire country.
