Description

Escape into the darkness with your licensed guide on an air-conditioned bus to some of the most haunted locations in New Orleans outside of the French Quarter. Cross one of the most notorious streets in America as we make our way down scenic Esplanade Avenue telling tales of tragedy, trauma, and mystery which has made us the most haunted city in America. All locations are alive with paranormal activity. Visit real cemeteries at night! Bring your camera, you won't want to miss this! We have offered this tour for over 4 years now and are amazed by what our guests experience. People capture full-bodies apparitions not only on photographs but see them with the naked eye. People have heard whispers in their ears, felt the touch of someone brushing their cheek or stroking their hair, and sometimes even have a ghost photo bomb their pictures! Keep an open mind - you never know what might happen on this very haunted tour. (we do not disclose which cemetery you will visit-it's a surprise)

Itinerary

15 min

In the 19th century, an area along Bayou St. John was reputedly the location of many voodoo rituals by Marie Laveau. The Magnolia Bridge over the Bayou continues to serve as a site for such rituals every St. John's Eve.

6 min

Your introduction to haunted burial ground begin at the gates of this cemetery built in the 1800s during the yellow fever epidemics as the city ran out of room to bury its dead. Everything was something else before it is what it is today. This famous burial location was once a lepers colony with a cemetery of its own. You might say it's a cemetery on top of a cemetery.

15 min

Stop here for a quick break and a chance to grab a bite at Cafe du Monde (own expense.)

Historical ghosts

Great bus tour with experienced friendly guide, Kristy. She knows a great deal about ghosts in New Orleans. The air conditioned bus was deliciously cold between stops. Our group had a friendly vibe

Too expensive for the experience.

Trip did not include enough information about the city. I expected to go into more than one cemetery and have more time to explore.
