Tales From u/Thetruthishere | Stories From My Nola Ghost Tour - Old Ursuline Convent & Casket Girls (Patreon)

“Nightly, groups of tourists stand in the dark, across from the Old Ursuline Convent at 1100 Chartres Street, engaged in the legend of French vampire maidens held captive for close to three centuries in the third-floor attic. The third-floor dormer windows hold the fascination for this mystery, as their shutters remain tightly sealed. A unique circumstance, as no other top-floor shutters in the French Quarter can be found closed. Given that heat rises, in a city with intense humid temperatures, sealed windows would create an impossible situation for any source of comfort. A convent, ingenues from France and casket-shaped trousseaus stored in the mysterious attic become the ingredients of a vampire legend with a romantic twist.”
