Unrest in Peace
Join two Greek friends, Lia and Chrysanthe, as they talk about all things paranormal and haunted with a comedic spin.
To continue the soon-to-be tradition of telling Christmas ghost stories like they did WAAAYYYY back in the day, Chrysanthe and Lia sit down to share and enjoy the story "Smee" by A.M. Burrage. It's guaranteed to give you chills... or at least some sort of chill.
P.S. - Also, we know we posted this after Dec. 25, but it's still being released during the Twelve Days, so Happy 11th Day of Christmas!
Madame Delphine LaLaurie was a popular NOLA socialite who delighted in throwing the best parties in the mansion that she owned. But as we all may know, she was also hiding horrors that are enough to turn anyone's stomach.
We're making a stop in New Orleans, LA to visit the LaLaurie Mansion. Step inside as Chrysanthe and Lia explore the origins of the mansion, and its former inhabitants who may not be altogether "former".
