"The New Orleans Vampire" - Unknown Sitters Writing Contest
Unknown Sitters Student Writing Contest Feature: "The New Orleans Vampire"
For HNOC's 2024 Student Writing Contest, we invited students from across the country to create colorful identities for the mysterious portrait subjects in the 26 paintings featured in our "Unknown Sitters" exhibition! After receiving hundreds of entries, HNOC chose three winners across three age categories.
Today, we are excited to feature "The New Orleans Vampire" by Jayden Bergeron, a 12th grader at Zachary High School in Zachary, Louisiana who is among three first place winners in our high school category. Jayden wrote his spooky tale in response to the portrait entitled "Creole Gentleman," painted in 1870 by François Bernard. We are now quite convinced that this "gentlemen" is actually a creature of the night-tell us what do you think!

    I've read the book. Its conclusion was predetermined: a classic case of confirmation bias. In other words, the result was guided by the authors' pre-existing belief that Lorenzo Ferrer was Jean Laffite. Instead of looking for evidence of who Ferrer actually was, they looked for evidence that would support their theory and ignored or minimized documentation that conflicted with their "discoveries." (They did virtually no research in French archives.) They claim a letter written by Arsene LaCarriere Latour, a Frenchman who certainly knew Laffite, is "pivotal" in proving he was alive after his reported death in a naval battle off the coast of Central America. The letter mentions someone named "Maison Rouge," so they immediately connect that name to Jean Laffite's legendary house in Galveston called the "Maison Rouge." Obviously, according to the "Two Blondes," "Maison Rouge" is a code word for Jean Laffite! The problem with that hypothesis is that there was in fact a French nobleman named Joseph de Maison Rouge who fled France during the French Revolution and came to New Orleans. He left two illegitimate sons bearing his family name who were alive when Latour wrote the letter. The simple and most logical solution is that Latour was referring to one of the brothers, who wanted help recovering some of their ancestral property in France. All of this is documented in the Historic New Orleans Collection's own records ( www.hnoc.org/sites/default/files/file_uploads/Volume%2010.pdf ), but the authors simply hide those inconvenient facts in a footnote and say, in effect, "Our theory is better!" Their "proof" is no proof. Shame on the HNOC for promoting this garbage! They also pad their book with boring details about oldtime LIncolnton residents that, while accurate, prove absolutely nothing concerning Ferrer's origins or Jean Laffite. They throw in the old legend about Peter Stewart Ney, a habitually drunk Scotsman, actually being Marshal Michel Ney, who also faked his death. That tall tale has been discredited for years and now further discredited by DNA analysis. Their supposition that Laffite was a Freemason is unsupported by any primary evidence whatsoever. Most of the discussion about Freemasons is straight out of the "National Treasure" school of thought. I could go on and on. The bottom line: If you want a good, properly-researched biography of Jean Laffite, read The Pirates Laffite by William C. Davis.

    The man who said Kennedy started the racial problems they've been having needs to read a little history. Those problems started over three hundred years before. Kennedy tried to correct them. Why wasn't the South infuriated with Johnson for signing Civil Rights Legislation then.

    I wish I had known about this when y'all streamed this live! My Dad played on a few episodes back in the '60s as Wilson the next door neighbor that Morgus would do science experiments on. Tommy George and my Dad, George Clayton, or better known as Karate George in New Orleans. My dad drove for United Cab 7 days a week, graveyard shift never during the day for almost 50 yrs! My Dad used to tell us stories about the episodes he was on and how no one would ever recognize Sid Noel without his makeup and get up on. I just saw the interview with Sid without his Morgus face and my Dad was right! I recognized his voice💗! I have never been able to find any of the episodes from the 1960-70's with my Dad. My sisters and I have looked and I even wrote the tv station when i was younger lol! My Dad played Wilson the next door neighbor. Morgus and Chopsley would have come over and try his experiments on him...Morgus's guinea pig lol! My Dad passed away in Oct 2006. If yall know where I could find any of the episodes from the 60's and 70's it would make my...and my sisters day... week...forever 😍!

    All pharmaceuticals are deliberately designed to damage the human body (liver, kidneys, immune function, nervous system, microbiome, brain). The resulting damage increases the need for more drugs to remedy the initial drug induced injury. It's a business decision to increase sales.

    *_The politeness, accent, power of analysis and kindness of the old people are very impressive. I watched a few interview videos shot in the 1950s and 1960s. Let me say this much. The American people today are much more immoral, rude, corrupt and ruined. Alcoholism, drug addiction, homosexual culture, and a complete departure from Christianity have destroyed American society. It's truly unbelievable. Very few people are aware of this fact. When religion and morality are lost, societies decay. The concept of family disappeared and American society collapsed. The same goes for Europe. Also for some other countries._*
