This is a story of information given by my father Samuel Todd Churchill on his deathbed, concerning the secrets in the founding of The Mistick Krewe of Comus also called The Mystick Krewe of Comus—a secret New Orleans Mardi Gras society established in 1857. In all fairness to my father, in case he took any blood oaths of secrecy, the information he revealed was done under heavy medication while dying of a very painful lung cancer disease inflicted upon him by years of heavy cigarette smoking. However, in all fairness to myself, I am not under any oaths of secrecy to any secret organizations. In fact, the information revealed by my father was contained for many years in a box in the attic. I never really intended to make this information public until very recently. It is the secret code numbers that he talked about that caused me to go to the attic and take out the tape recordings and my notes.

My conversations with my father after he announced to me that he was dying of lung cancer began innocently enough. It started with him revealing some of his early sexual escapades. However, as he became more and more in pain and received more heavy medication, he began to reveal more details that are intimate. He would lapse in and out of consciousness and begin to talk in a subconscious state. It's then I decided to secretly place a tape recorder under his bed. His sexual revelations went from ordinary heterosexual affairs to his secret homosexual encounters. He tied the homosexual incidents to his membership into a secret elitist organization he labeled as Chapter 322-- the Brotherhood of Death. I discovered my father was a cross dresser and in order to proceed into higher stages in the secret organization, it was necessary for him to engage in sexual activities with certain male blood elitist members of Chapter 322.
