Outside one of the Garden District's grandest mansions, meet a woman whose memory survived through generations of folklore and consider why ghost stories sometimes remember people traditional history forgets.

Stop 5
Enter the world of nineteenth-century Spiritualism and discover what happened when people gathered inside a neighborhood residence, placed their hands upon a table, and asked the dead to answer.
