Listener Discretion is advised – there is very adult content ahead and you have been warned. Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained. I’m your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the weird, wonderful, unexplained, eerie, scary and down-right unbelievable. There will be tales of ghosts, murder, supernatural beings and unexplained mysteries. So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, relax and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma.... And on today’s Dark enigma we’re going to be exploring another scary destination, since its summer and maybe you’re wondering how to spend that vacation time that’s piling up. So don’t fear, Nicole is here to give you plenty of destinations you can visit, most are just a car trip and a shot of liquid courage away. Anyway, as always, we will be playing our drinking game but only for those of you that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight. And I know it’s been a little bit of time since I went looking for a cocktail for you, so this time, I found a very delicious and apropos selection that even the most discerning among you will be delighted with. Today’s shot of choice is called The Sultan, and you’ll find the recipe on proofcocktails.com. Now for our game part, every time I say mansion that will be a single shot and every time I say French Quarter, that’s a double shot. Now that we have the business end out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma…and the mystery of… the Sultan’s Palace. When it comes to the many haunts of New Orleans, ghost enthusiasts are quick to point to the infamous LaLaurie Mansion as the French Quarter’s most notorious haunted spot. But, as it is with so many lesser-known haunted houses across the country, there are other places in the Crescent City that have tales that are just as sinister – and spirits that are just as restless. The Gardette-Le Prete Mansion, which has been dubbed the “Sultan’s Palace” over the years, is one of the French Quarter’s most imposing buildings and has long had a leading role among the city’s bloodiest mysteries and legends. It earned its horrific reputation as the scene of violent bloodshed, rape, and murder – tragedies that still linger behind as a haunting.
