Stories about ghosts in this city were popularized by Helen Pitkin Schertz, including a tale about how a sultan massacred his brother and many servants here. A poetry collection by Brenda Marie Osbey includes a poem narrated by the ghostly head of Louis Congo, an executioner who died in this city. Delphine Macarty supposedly fled this city after torturing enslaved people at the supposedly haunted (*) LaLaurie (“luh-LOE-ree”) Mansion. A legendary pirate based out of this city and nearby Barataria went on to found the pirate colony of Campeche (“kahm-PAY-chay”) by Galveston. This city’s Mystick Krewe (“KROO”) popularized krewes often named for mythological figures that lead floats during Carnival season. For 10 points, name this former home base of Jean Lafitte (“ZHAHN luh-FEET”), where Marie Laveau (“luh-VOE”) was a leader of Louisiana Voodoo. ■END■
