The Ghost of Madame Mineurecanal


Who was Madame Mineurecanal? Was she really the wife or lover of Bernard Marigny?
This creole mystery has led to a dead end, if I may use these words! Madame Mineurecanal may or may not have been Bernard Marigny's wife or lover but she did decide to end her life. She walked up the stairs of her house in Faubourg Marigny and hung her little dog then turn her deadly thoughts to herself. Hung from an overhead beam......to this day know one knows why!!

The Faubourg Marigny house has a host of haunting and ghostly stories. There is not much known today but I can not help but wonder is her presence still felt now?
