 Legend
has it that in the 1800s, in an attempt to help populate the then somewhat
seedy French Quarter with more educated, well bred denizens, French
families were enticed to send their daughters here to marry. These
families were much misled to believe handsome deserving gentlemen were
waiting here for them. The nuns of the Ursuline convent intercepted the
girls at their arrival and put them up at the convent. The girls had
arrived with their trousseau which were shaped unusually very much like
traditional coffins. So mockingly, the girls acquired the name of casket
girls. Their trousseau were placed in the third floor attic of the
convent, and were not retrieved until a proper suitor was found for each
girl. When the trousseau were retrieved they were mysteriously found
empty. Superstitious individuals of the time claimed that the girls had
smuggled vampires here to the French Quarter.
Well, that's the legend but if this is just a legend, then why does the
convent to this day seal each upstairs window with 8000 blessed screws?
And every so often one of the windows will shoot open for no apparent
reason, and immediately the convent once again seals it shut.
On St. Germaine, down rue Royal, at Ursuline, there sits the former home
of Jacques St. Germaine. St. Germaine, moved to New Orleans from France in
1903 and only occupied the home for a short time. It is said that during
his time here he attacked and bit a young woman in his home, after luring
her there for a glass of wine. She was able to escape however, and make it
to the local authorities. St. Germaine mysteriously disappeared. However,
the authorities upon entering his lair, found a collection of wine
bottles, which they later found to be filled with a combination of wine
and human blood. Some say St. Germaine is still alive today, and visits
the French Quarter occasionally.
