Crews responded to a gas leak in the affected area, prompting officials to order the evacuation of more than 30 nearby homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, Cage\u2019s actual house hasn\u2019t fallen into the crater, despite some pretty terrifying pictures from the scene. But bizarrely, this is far from the first time one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/05\/29\/spider-noir-does-he-have-organic-webbing-in-marvel-comics-powers-explained\/\">Spider-Noir<\/a> star\u2019s properties has made headlines for all the wrong reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Nicolas Cage bought and lost a \u2018ghost front property\u2019<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2007, Cage bought the LaLaurie Mansion in New Orleans for $3.45 million. Now, if you don\u2019t know the history, there\u2019s a horrifying reason it\u2019s known as one of America\u2019s most haunted houses.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nicolas Cage Goth Fact: <br \/>In 2007 Nicolas Cage bought the famous LaLaurie mansion in New Orleans. He shortly sold it afterwards. Whether it was due to being scared or just going bankrupt, nobody knows. But you can definitely tell how much he loves New Orleans. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9sxw41qsHR\">pic.twitter.com\/9sxw41qsHR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Out With Lanterns, Good Hunter (@steinbride) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/steinbride\/status\/1486884332790853635?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 28, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was once home to Madame Delphine LaLaurie, who brutally abused enslaved people. Her crimes were exposed after a fire in 1834, when rescuers discovered people who had been chained, starved and tortured inside the property. An outraged mob subsequently descended on the mansion, but LaLaurie had fled to Paris.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The original house was later rebuilt, but its brutal history remained and stories of hauntings have circulated ever since. Naturally, Cage decided this was the perfect place to write a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/horror\/\">horror<\/a> novel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI bought it in 2007, figuring it would be a good place in which to write the great American horror novel,\u201d he told the Mail on Sunday\u2019s Event magazine. \u201cI didn\u2019t get too far with the novel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the book wasn\u2019t the only thing that didn\u2019t work out. Just two years after buying the mansion, Cage lost it to foreclosure amid the economic crash and his well-publicised financial problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This makes one of his jokes about the property particularly eerie in hindsight: \u201cOther people have beachfront property; I have ghost front property.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>His $35 million mansion ended up attracting precisely zero bids<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, the LaLaurie Mansion wasn\u2019t the only property Cage lost around this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;
