Sultan’s Palace
This classic French quarter house in 716 Dauphine St. with a huge courtyard and a wrought-iron balcony became a horror house in the 1800s. The Sultan was living a wealthy, depraved lifestyle with multiple wives, children, as well as a harem of females and young and males that were held against their wishes. The neighbors complained with regards to the Sultan’s baffling habits of partying, torture, and opium. However, the most mysterious was his demise, when the Sultan was buried in the courtyard alive after his harem and family were chopped to pieces in a massacre by an unidentified perpetrator. Today, the Sultan’s angry spirit is believed to be behind the strange noises, strong smell of incense carried out through the home, loud music, and undesirable advances on previous female occupants who swears that the Sultan is doing his trick of groping female visitors.
