  • Summary

  • In this episode of the "Noir New Orleans" podcast, Michelle Jones delves into the dark history of Jackson Square, a cherished site in New Orleans. Contrary to its current reputation, two centuries ago, the square served as a place for cruel punishments and gruesome executions. Infamous for its wooden stocks and public executions, the area has a history steeped in crime and grim enforcement methods. The narration focuses on several horrific forms of medieval punishments, like "breaking on the wheel", and high-profile torture cases from 1754. Considering the square's ominous past, it's noted as one of the most haunted locations in the French Quarter, with many claiming to see the spirits of the deceased. The episode concludes with an unsettling reminiscence of the two most often spotted apparitions, connected to the local church.
