Paranormal, True Crime, Conspiracies & Creatures! You'll find it all and much more here, at Stay Out Of The Attic.

The Dark Side of Mardi Gras History!

February 28, 2021 • Season 1 • Episode 15

And here we go again with a mini deep dive into some less than savory aspects of Mardi Gras celebrations. I cover a bit of plain jane history then move towards some complicated racial tensions and finish up with ghosts, deaths, and few theories. Stay tuned next month for my most special episode yet, which will be my season one finale!
