Tom Coleman (Tobias E. Taba III) told this month’s story; you heard him in The Devil’s Mansion of New Orleans. Raised near Mowata in Acadia Parish, he quips he’s from “Rork” and spins Cajun swamp, Creole and voodoo tales. @ARTStationStoneMountain. #CajunStories #Folklore

Ornate parlor in the Devil’s Mansion of New Orleans at night - billowing curtains, glowing chandeliers, jewels spilling out of a jewel box.

and a grand house in New Orleans.

But some gifts don’t belong to the living for long.

And some houses remember.
