Haunted New Orleans: Fun & Spooky Ghost Tours
New Orleans offers all the ingredients for a fun ghost tour— from the dark alleyways throughout the French Quarter to historic mansions in the Garden District and its centuries old cemeteries. Mix in the ambiance of cobblestone streets and voodoo shops, topped off with spooky stories that have been passed down through generations. Don’t be surprised if your ghost tour stops in front of the restaurant where you ate dinner, the bar in which you sampled absinthe, or the charming boutique hotel where you’ll retire later in the evening.
You may not see a ghost on your tour, but you will enjoy the stories about Marie Laveau, the “Voodoo Queen,” and visiting Haunted LaLaurie Mansion, Beauregard-Keyes House, Muriel’s Restaurant, Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop, and Pirates Alley, to name just a few.
Travel Tip: There are arguably more ghost tours in New Orleans than any other city in the United States. We highly recommend taking multiple walking tours to discover hidden gems around the French Quarter and the beautiful Garden District. Definitely try to squeeze a cemetery tour into your visit— our favorites are St. Louis Cemetery #1, Lafayette Cemetery #1, and St. Louis Cemetery #3.
