Josie Arlington

Folk Figure. New Orleans madam whose crypt was once believed to be haunted; it was rumored that the statue of the woman in front of the tomb would come to life and walk the cemetery grounds at night.  It was later discovered that a street light reflecting off the tomb gave it a reddish glow, lending credence to the rumors of the haunting.  Josie Arlington’s body was later moved to an unknown location within the same cemetery.
