DELPHINE LALAURIE HAUNTED PORTRAIT

Delphine was a reputedly beautiful woman with long, black hair, and she and her husband were renowned for their extravagant parties. They had many slaves and seemed a respectable pair, but little did townspeople know what Madame Lalaurie did to make her slaves submissive. She had already been in court over charges of brutality, and on one occasion after complaints of abuse, several slaves had been removed from the home, but few people would speak out against this couple, so they were never arrested. Not even after a young girl jumped to her death from the second floor to escape her harsh mistress. Then one night in 1834, a fire brought a volunteer fire brigade to the home and the Lalauries’ gruesome secrets were discovered.

Around New Orleans since the late nineties stories about a haunted painting of Delphine Lalaurie have circulated throughout the city. No one was quite sure if it was an original from her time or anything specific except it existed. And it was very haunted! After a little bit of investigation into the stories of the actual haunted painting, the truth actually surfaced. Our own artist Ricardo Pustanio was actually the artist behind the alleged haunted portrait.

The fascination with Lalaurie has lasted almost 180 years, and people are intrigued by her and the image her face portrays. Only one image of her has floated around for years on the internet.The existence of the one haunted painting has become sort of the Mona Lisa of haunted paintings.

The Lalaurie house, called The Haunted House, was avoided for decades by the local superstitious New Orleanians and remained vacant for forty years. To this day, this house is considered to be the most haunted in the city.

The death, deemed an accident, and Madame deemed perfectly within her right to exact discipline on her property, nonetheless set off a chain of events that would assure Madame LaLaurie an eternal place in infamy.

It is said that, angered at the needless and awful death of the young slave girl, one of the older kitchen women deliberately set fire to the house. The flames had nearly engulfed most of the lower stories of the house by the time the fire brigade arrived on the scene. The kitchen woman, it is said, ran out to the fire brigade and, hollering something about the “poor souls” in the attic, led those who followed to the top of the burning house.

There are actual accounts, with notarized signatures of at least three witnesses of high standing, of the gruesome and horrible sights found in the dark and smoky attic that day. Dead and half-dead slaves, men, women, and children, were found in various stages of torment and pain — chained to the walls by shackles on their hands and feet, some lying prone, others forced to stand in crudely constructed wooden stocks, they had been subjected to unimaginable acts of morbid atrocity. Eyes gouged out; tongues hacked off and in some instances crudely re-attached; mouths and eyes sewn shut altogether; noses and ears sheared off; bones broken and reset in horrible, twisted manners; genitals mutilated — these were just some of the horrible sights that met the eyes of the fire rescuers and witnessed by ordinary citizens. Most of the slaves thus confined were already dead from torment or smoke inhalation; the others would not last long beyond this day of liberation.

To say this painting of Lalaurie is haunted is wrong, the actual painting is more like being haunted by unseen hands haunting it. The resident of the apartment use to invite friends over all the time. And would show off his prized work of art. Over time people actually believed it was an original to the house. For Pustanio had antiqued it for his client per their request.

He never had the intention of labeling it as haunted nor did he ever represent it as anything but his own work. Once he did the one he became intrigued with her appearance and did several more in a series. Some in oil some in acrylics and watercolor.

Please follow the amazingly talented local artist @ricardopustanio Repost from @ricardopustanio • Baron Krimanel papier-mâché by Ricardo Pustanio. Justice awaits beyond the grave. Sometimes justice emerges from the grave. Baron Kriminel is a fierce spirit of justice. He is custodian of the graveyard, captain of the zombi squad. He leads an army of zombis. Baron Kriminel is a headhunter. He wears a belt of severed heads and carries a sack filled with souls he has collected. Does he make you nervous? Then remember, he’s a force of justice: if you have no guilt, you need have no fear. Behave yourself; behave ethically and kindly and you will never meet him—unless you go looking for him, but that’s another story: he is also patron of criminals who invoke him for safety and success. Baron Kriminel is the Master Criminal but also the vigilante who enforces justice. He’s accused of being a cannibal, which is not untrue but ignores the complexities of this mysterious, powerful spirit. Behave like a pig and be consumed like a pig. Baron Kriminel inflicts justice by transforming someone into a pig, which he then eats with no knife but only a fork and spoon, i.e., slowly and excruciatingly painfully. The fork and spoon are also symbolic of his aloof, unsympathetic nature: he eats like a colonial master from slavery days. Dominican Vodou classifies Baron Kriminel as a centinela (sentinel or guardian). Place his image by your doors looking outward to protect against enemies and invasion. Kriminel is classified among the Barons and the Petro or Bizango lwa. His close companions include Ezili Dantor, Marinette, Ti Jean Petro, and Simbi Andezo. He is a coldhearted, merciless spirit; if you find yourself in trouble with him, appeal to Ezili Dantor, who is most likely to save you, although Simbi Andezo may be helpful, too. • Baron Kriminel is syncretized to Saint Pancras or Saint Sebastian. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd69hSOrSbT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
