St Louis Cemetery

St Louis Cemetery is the most haunted cemetery in New Orleans. It was opened in 1789 and has connections to voodoo, including having a voodoo priestess buried in it. Though the cemetery has been known for dozens of paranormal events it has three ghosts who are the most prominent and active.

One of these ghosts is the voodoo priestess Marie Laveau. She sought fame and attention through practicing voodoo magic. When she was alive she attracted a huge following, so much so she ended up with her own cult of worshipers. Marie was buried in an unmarked tomb due to her fame, the authorities did not want to turn the cemetery into a shrine for her followers. Marie Laveau’s ghost in an angry one. Her apparition has been seen in the area of her unmarked tomb. She has also been seen, in a foul mood, storming along the pathways chanting curses at the living. She once slapped a man who was passing the area near her grave. Many believe that death has not stopped her from practicing her black magic. Her ghost has been seen turning into a black crow and a big black dog. Both of these animals have been seen roaming the cemetery on a regular basis.

The second ghost is called Henry Vignes. He was a seaman, who foolishly trusted his landlady with the papers to his family’s tomb so she could take care of it if he died at sea. When he was at sea she sold the tomb. Henry suddenly died before he could seek justice. There was no tomb to put him in so he was buried in an unmarked grave in the pauper’s field area. Unlike some ghosts Henry looks very much alive when he appears in the cemetery. He can easily be mistaken for a tourist or tour guide. He is tall, dressed in a white shirt and has piercing blue eyes. He is still looking for his family’s tomb. A number of people have been approached by Henry and asked if they know the location of his family tomb. He then walks away and suddenly disappears. He has also been known to tap people on the shoulder and ask them questions about tombs. He will appear at family funerals and ask mourners if there is any room in the tomb for his remains.

The name of the final ghost is unknown but he has been nicknamed Alphonse. He is a very lonely spirit and, like Henry, he looks like a living person when he appears. He will walk up to a visitor, take their hand into his ice cold hands, and with a big smile, ask for help to go home. He will then start to cry before disappearing. Alphonse has also been seen carrying vases and flowers from other tombs and graves and placing them on his own, perhaps in an attempt to make himself feel better.

St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, New Orleans, 2022 on the occasion of my 39th birthday.

Today I turn 40. I certainly don’t feel 40, or maybe I do. I know don’t feel as old as I thought my parents were when they turned 40. I’m genuinely not sure how I feel about this birthday, 39 kinda sucked, I felt kinda shitty most of this past year mostly stemming from a pretty late discovery that I have a wheat allergy. I never understood what exactly people with chronic illnesses meant when they talked about the depression they suffered as a result of their illness, after this year I certainly do. At least I can say that I was never alone… literally because as it turns out I’ve also been living with a parasite, maybe still, only time and medication will tell. Last year I visited New Orleans for the first time for my brothers wedding, the next day on my birthday I took a cemetery tour. It was really just happenstance that I found myself here on my birthday, but I have been thinking a lot about mortality in my work recently so maybe it wasn’t such a coincidence.

Coming slowly to know his evil, or being catapulted into it ... was all the same. I wanted none of it finally. And, deserving nothing better, I closed up like a spider in the flame of a match. And even Armand who was my constant companion, and my only companion, existed at a great distance from me, beyond that veil which separated me from all living things, a veil which was a form of shroud. (IWTV, 1976)

#yn. #iwtv #tvc #armand #louis de pointe du lac #how u gone tell this story w him in the same room👀🫣 #AxL being together in the amc show verse has so many implications #what stage r we in the AxL relationship? i find it so fascinating. #all the hooplah on DM cuz white fans need a white face to insert in& im like did lou already bury armand in the st louis cemetery?… #no shade but im js if they kept a or l as white we would have more convos/speculative fiction on the nature of their dynamic #i fucking love it. lou terrified deathly of the fact that there is no maker sister wife dynamic w armand #meeting an entire vampire cult. knowing hes in charge of them. & he let u kill them all. whos to say ur not next? #a spider in the flame of the match… bait for a shark. the way lou frames himself here is fascinating #armand’s later descriptions fawning over how pitiful and morose and easy to abandon louis was #getting broke up w in audubon park cuz armand wanted to see if les would snitch on himself & spur lou into some emotion… #louis making up the part about lestat and the baby. my god💔💔💔💔 #ig this is an answer to one of my old anons who wondered if book lou harbored suspicions on a & his role in clauds death.. yea #i love how amc made all the retcons part of the question of memory itself & what is narrative #the hegemony & hierarchy of relatability - the white man as the conduit for a tale told thru a black man’s complex lense #s

Oak Hill Cemetery in Kirkwood, MO. (Jan. 2023)

CW: grief/pet loss

The day before I was supposed to go back to college in New Orleans, the dog park was closed but I wanted to spend time outside with my dog Pepita. I took us on a walk through this cemetery near my home that I've been meaning to visit for a long time. I passed by this grave and thought it was such a beautiful monument to someone's love.

My little dog Pepita, featured in the first two photos wearing her adorable little "Sunday best" dress, sadly passed away in March 2023, and this was the last walk I ever took her on. I loved this little girl more than anything in the whole world, and I'm glad our last walk could be in such a beautiful place that holds so much love.

"Ici Repose" - St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, New Orleans, LA - 2006

Photography used to be a massive part of my daily life. Memories don't register in my mind as being so long ago, but looking at photos, especially my digital library where everything is dated... sometimes it makes me feel older than I normally do.

Idr if I ever posted this… the alkemia sample set I got a while ago. Caffaeum came as a surprise bonus fragrance, which was cute (didn’t like it much tho unsurprisingly). Favs were sandscape, enigma and nature of the beast. And YES I ordered the St Louis Cemetery because of LDPDL…. it was weird but glad I ordered it

#st Louis cemetery is just like a crazy camphor top note for a while and then settles into something clayish #fragrance
