She says she has seen a face looking at her from the kitchen floor in 1971. It was not a two-dimensional appearance but seemed to be rising from beneath the house. It was almost as if a head was buried right below the kitchen floor. Maria, being afraid of this tried to chip away at the floor to get rid of the face. Instead, there were more face casts showing up- this time of older men and children. Scientists stepped in to take a look. There was no conclusive evidence found.

She hosted many parties in her mansion during the 19th century. Two floors above the party scene, horror was unfolding. In 1834, the police came to the home due to a kitchen fire. Rather than only putting out the fire, they found the bodies of mutilated slaves in the attic. The public heard of the disturbing secrets and chased LaLaurie out of the home. She fled to France.
