We have done the obligatory exterior shots, some creative ones, and basically laid the groundwork for this investigation. The day after we will let you know how it went, but what we can say is that this involves the Mafia, prohibition, secret tunnels (yes in New Orleans), Masonic Rituals, and the mighty Mississippi River.

We will be missing some of the Krewe but we have some new members to introduce to you as well.

Hopes are high, expectations low… as any investigation should be looked at.

What we find or do not find we will share with you. Also, this is a place the public has easy access to, so we will be looking for anyone with personal experiences to contribute with comments!

Thank you for your support and 2013 is going to be a VERY busy year.

Our January investigation was the Southport Music Hall located at the parish line between Jefferson and Orleans just off of River Road. This location has a very interesting past. Things ranging from the original building burning down in the early 1900’s, mafia ties involving Carlos Marcello, and many other unique traits. You will learn all about them when we release the show in the next few weeks.

I wanted to share an experience I had today while talking with a representative of a former owner of the property. We were discussing the logistics of setting up an interview to talk about their time in the building on the phone. We both were using mobile phones. I was located in a parking lot where I was idling in a parking spot, while he was in his home.

This is what I saw.

After chatting briefly about the property and what would be the best course of action and time frame to get the interview taken care of, we began discussing some of the EVPs that we had found and what other people over time had claimed to experience over the years. As we began to discuss the power of repetitive ceremonies and their seeming ability to lend power to an environment even if not being done to conjure such things, I realized my phone had gone to a black screen with the gray ‘Apple’ logo (an iPhone5) and that our call was cut off. My immediate thought was that my battery must have been low and it was shutting off. In all of about a second I was back at the dialing pad. My phone hadn’t shut down, I didn’t need to unlock it, it just blinked, disconnected him and put me back where I was.

I tried calling him back and got his voice mail, I tried a few times over the next 5-10 minutes and repeatedly had received his voice-mail. In time he called me back and said his phone and apologized saying his phone had died. Our phones blinked out at the same time, while discussing the investigation and setting up a time to talk to gather more information.

I can say I have never had anything like that happen before, not once. Just wanted to share that oddity. You never know with electronics, but that was some very curious timing.

In the good ole days (not too far gone) the ‘mob’ had a piece of the suburb of New Orleans called Metairie, Louisiana. This chunk of real estate was called “Fat City” and it was loaded with bars, strip clubs, burlesque shows, and a variety of the things most normal people find to be a necessity in society.

At some point, after Hurricane Katrina, certain interests decided that not only New Orleans but even the couple of blocks known as Fat City needed to become as safe and ‘family-friendly’ as Walt’s World/Land. If you have a soul, you know that the world needs and desires something more adult than a teen in a mouse costume (although that could be a dark thing in and of itself.)

In an effort to eliminate the adult activities that took place in Fat City a certain person in Parish government began a one woman war against this very popular area. Mob influence was mostly gone from there, and it was a place even respected people would go for a good time without needing to go into #NOLA. In fact those people included this official’s father (a senior law enforcement officer) who was a frequent visitor to many of the great restaurants and other places, which might very well be why this official pushed to stamp this place out of existence. An ordnance was passed barring ‘live entertainment’ after an unreasonable time… since the area was mainly surrounded by commercial entities.

The last of the burlesque clubs, in fact, any adult-related places was “The Ship’s Wheel.”

Two nights before it closed we were seemingly able to ask the proprietor his feelings about it, even though he had passed away years earlier.

@paranolasarah and @paranolajoe were both there along with some of those from the “Ship’s Wheel” to experience what can only be described as the most unusual and striking REM-Pod activity we have known to occur. We have it documented and it is on deck to enter our site soon at http://tv.paranola.com
