Believe it or not, the haunted LaLaurie house we all became familiar with in American Horror Story season three is actually a real-life haunted mansion. The Madame LaLaurie house is located in New Orleans, Louisiana and quite the popular attraction for tourists and locals alike. However, many of you may be surprised to find that the Delphine LaLaurie house we all know today isn’t actually the exact home that Madame LaLaurie lived in. The actual home burned down in 1834 and was rebuilt in 1838, with a 3rd story added on. Madame Delphine LaLaurie pretty much went down in history as the woman who tortured slaves in New Orleans. While it’s true that much of what we saw on AHS was embellished, the fact of the matter is that this lady was indeed one bad apple. In fact, there have been numerous collections written about her horrific acts which have circulated throughout the area since as far back as the 19th century.)
