Oh, Yes, A Free Man of Color came up when I was doing an article on New Orleans books several years ago, I just had forgotten all about it–well, if I haven’t worn out people’s tolerance for New Orleans, I’ll add that one to the list.

Kerry: Now you’ve got me looking up Barbara Hambly. (Because the answer is no, I haven’t read them. How do you have time to read so much?)

I did not have the space to fully explain Mansion Mystere, but if you look at their site, you can see the elaborate machinery they have in place to catch images of ghosts. “Certified” refers to having a team of ghost experts come and spend time in the house and photograph, measure temperatures, and all that, and say they found a ghost.

Thanks for these scary posts. The former plumbers, turned ghost hunters who have their own show, are on Larry King Friday night, I believe. What I want to know is has anyone seen a real ghost and how do you get a place “certified” as having a ghost?

I think New Orleans is kind of a spooky place anyway — well, it was when I was there a few weeks ago. Perhaps because it was so humid and misty and there was this fog that covered a lot of the sky, making it dark during the day… I totally want to check out la maison mystere after reading about it here.

Such a fun post! Makes me want to go back to New Orleans–it’s been way too long.
