Only in New Orleans would you find four skeletons singing Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence” on the front porch of a 134-year-old Victorian house. This is Ghost Manor at 2502 Magazine Street, and there's quite a bit of history behind it. The house was built in 1892 after a massive fire destroyed much of the surrounding neighborhood. More than a century later, David Gentry and his family moved in and decided the old place needed a few ghosts. It started in 2012 with a single ghost floating between the upstairs windows. Gentry, a software engineer, kept experimenting with lighting, sound, projections, and eventually animatronics. By 2016, he'd added four singing skeletons, each programmed to move its head and jaw in time with the music. Today, the house puts on an elaborate Halloween production with dancing zombies, flying ghosts, singing skeletons, and dozens of illuminated pumpkins. The entire performance is synchronized, and people gather on the sidewalk to enjoy it. What I really like is that this isn't some commercial haunted attraction. It's a private residence, and the family has spent years building something for the neighborhood to enjoy. New Orleans already has quite a reputation for ghosts, cemeteries, and haunted old houses. I suppose having a skeleton quartet singing on your porch fits right in. Would you stop and watch these guys perform? I certainly would.
