January 3rd, Experiences
Outer Journey #3, January 3rd 2020
When thinking about New Orleans, ghosts aren't typically my first thought... But after tonight, my mind may be changed. For those of you wondering what I am talking about, tonight I got to follow along side a women who spoke the knowledge of old mysterious haunted stories about her home town of New Orleans. The women was short, wore an all black spooky outfit, talked with a heavy accent, and
One story in particular revolves around one of the oldest stand up bar in the country the Tujague. The story is known to be that a famous actor of the stage and screen, Julian Eltinge. Eltinge was a cross-dresser, meaning he dressed as a women and would perform in a small room of the Tujague in which is pictured below. The room itself to this day has a creepiness to it. The lights are slightly dimmed, the floorboards creaked under my feet, and my skin shivered upon setting into the room. The tabled were lined with white linen, covered with crisp paper and set up for a private dinner party. The build in shelves with crystal clear glass, were crowed with old antique liquor bottles cracked and discolored with age. In 1917 Eltinge autographed a photo of himself that ended up being framed and hung in the restaurant on the old brick wall for nearly 100 years. The exposed brick showed its age by the crumbling of the mortar. Story has it that in 2013, the picture was taken down and put up in the attic during renovations. Once the picture was taken down, darkness overcame Tujague. Doors would slam shut, voices screeched when no one was around, and Eltinge himself sometimes made an appearance right where Eltinge's photo used to be. The owner of Tujague has since rehung the photo and the ghostly spirit of Julian Eltinge has not reappeared since.
