On a humid evening a guide calls the group together outside Witches Brew Gallery; their voice is low, practiced, folding folklore and recorded fact into the same sentence. You move as the city moves—down cobbled alleys where shutters clap in the breeze and iron balconies breathe shadows onto the pavement—listening for the names that keep returning: LaLaurie, Jean Lafitte, and the women who carried caskets across the river.
