Unraveling the Mystery: The Intriguing Case of the Casket Girls of New Orleans
Delving deep into the shadows of history, we uncover the chilling tale of the Casket Girls of New Orleans. These mysterious young women arrived in the city in the early 1700s, carrying their possessions in simple caskets. Rumors swirl about their origin and true purpose, with some claiming they were vampires or ghosts haunting the French Quarter.
In reality, the Casket Girls were young women sent from France to marry colonists in Louisiana. Their casket-like luggage was likely a simple wardrobe trunk, symbolizing their journey to a new life. Despite the innocuous explanation, the legend of the Casket Girls persists, captivating those who seek to unravel the truth behind this eerie chapter in New Orleans’ history.

Why would there be nails blessed by the pope just laying around?
@scarlettg6136
Have you checked out the vampire movie and TV series, WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS?
It's great. Strange, and funny enough for you to enjoy. Thank you for the history lesson and setting my Louisiana History straight. I took the class in college and taught it to 8th graders for several years.
Your account makes much more sense.
You did great with the pronunciations. No one in New Orleans pronounces any of them correctly, anyway. Thanks, again.

I’m so glad there’s a few years worth of Harloween videos for me to binge until Tuesday! Preparing for my kids annual Halloween Party and this is so helpful! Hoping everyone has great Halloween 2022 if they ever see this!🎉🎃🎉🎃
@andreasnorlen2002
But why would someone have to fly in from the Vatican to close the window? I call vampires. Gotta be.
