Ghosts & Spirits Night Walk Tour with Haunted Tales and History

What you'll do:

Paranormal is Normal in New Orleans. New Orleans has been referred to as “The most haunted city in America.” After this nighttime walking tour of the French Quarter, we’ll let you be the judge! With its colorful history and unique traditions, it is no wonder so many New Orleans homes and taverns have been investigated by paranormal investigators.

You'll visit several haunted sites and hear the ghost experiences featured on The History Channel and The Discovery Channel. Hear ghostly stories about our haunted hotels and the courthouse where our state supreme court is based. We even visit a former exchange for enslaved people. Each guide has researched these "other spirits" of the Vieux Carre, so no two tours are exactly alike. Stories may include: Madame Delphine MacCarthy Lalaurie, a wealthy New Orleans socialite who moved into a neoclassical mansion in the French Quarter, where she was investigated for her cruelty towards enslaved people. Or the Ursuline Convent was founded in the 1700s and the stories behind the women sent there by the French government spanned the realm of the original. Nuns to the tales of the girls arriving later who might haunt the convent still.

Don't forget to bring your camera; you never know who—or what—might want to pose for a picture! Please be aware that this tour is not recommended for children under 10 years of age, and venues and stories are subject to change.
