The Gardette-LaPrete Mansion is located on the corner of Dauphine Street and Orleans Avenue in the French Quarter. Once, a rich man from Turkey REPORTEDLY rented the mansion. He threw legendary parties for his guests and attended to his harem – though rumor has it he was a cruel and thieving master. One day, after a particularly lavish soiree, a passerby noticed blood oozing out the front door. Police broke through the entrance and discovered a massacre – all of the guests had been murdered, their bodies strewn in bloody heaps. Authorities soon found the host’s body in a shallow grave in the backyard. The culprit was never found, though some think it was the wealthy man’s brother exacting revenge. Today, the “Sultan’s” ghost stalks Gardette-LaPrette, while the screams of his doomed guests echo through the rooms.
