Marie Laveau — AKA the Vodou Queen of New Orleans — is as much a mystery to us in death as she was in life. Newspaper accounts of the time ricocheted between love and hate, respect and fear. But who was this woman, a descendant of enslaved people, with her thumb on the pulse of Louisiana power?If anything, Vodou was and is even more controversial than Marie — a misunderstood religion castigated in the press to stoke racist fear.

With skulls coming out the walls and ghost monks worshiping from beyond the grave, there's quite a bit

In the Old Talbott Tavern's 243 years of existence, it's collected its fair share of famous visitors, legends, and things that go bump in the night.
