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.

Behold the Crypt of Nicolas Cage! I heard 3 stories as to why he has a pre-arranged place of rest in one of the most important cemeteries in the US, and was also assured that it's definitely not he's an undead creature that needs to rest in his home New Orleans soil to rejuvenate

Six Days in New Orleans: Two
Originally posted November 6, 2015. Carpe Diem! The Marchioness generally sleeps later than me, so on our first full day in New Orleans, I arose and spent an hour or two running from pillar to post photographing destinations that had no opening or closing times. Morning is a pleasant time in the French Quarter. A lot of WORK happens, from the crack of dawn. The classier places all hose down…

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.

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)
