Escape into the spirited past as your theatrical ghost-hunter guide leads you on a 2-hour haunted history ghost tour – featured on the History Channel and recommended by the Travel Channel as the ‘number one tour in New Orleans’! Tour departs from Reverend Zombie’s Voodoo Shop in the evening.
The most haunted house in New Orleans is the LaLaurie Mansion. Learn the real story behind the city's most famous serial killer. In public, she was a socialite but in the unseen shadows behind the scenes, she was a cold blooded murderer who took the lives of innocent people right under the noses of the affluent New Orleanians.
There are many more haunted bars in the French Quarter than we can possibly include in one ghost tour but often that bar is this one. Located on Bourbon Street it is hosts to a number of ghost stories as well as signature drink called Voodoo.
Jackson Square takes on a completely different persona after dark. See one of the most iconic landmarks in America when the shadows and spirits come out to roam. This tour usually ends in or near the square.
The most notorious alley in all America where pirates sold their contraband and killed their enemies and all right next to a Catholic Cathedral! Legend says that if you begin drinking in Pirate's Alley and make your way to Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, the ghost of Jean Lafitte will greet you when you get there. Many a visitor has witnessed the apparitions of pirates running in the alley then disappearing late in the evening.
Most of our guides end their ghost tour near this iconic bar in Pirate's Alley. Stop in and try an absynthe, dubbed The Green Fairy for it's hauntingly green appearance. This famous pub was a popular hangout for Aleistar Crowley in the early 1900s as well as an entire culture of vampire lifestylers in the 1990s.

About New Orleans
New Orleans is the Louisiana city of jazz, Creole food and the French Quarter, set on a bend of the Mississippi River near the Gulf of Mexico.
New Orleans was founded by the French in 1718 and later ruled by Spain, and the French Quarter still shows it, with wrought-iron balconies, courtyards and Jackson Square, which St Louis Cathedral overlooks. Jazz was born here, and live music pours from clubs on Frenchmen Street. The St Charles streetcar rattles beneath oaks to the mansions of the Garden District.
