5 Best New Orleans Ghost Tours
Introduction
New Orleans is known for its fun,
culture, and exciting nightlife. But did you know there is also a paranormal
side to this city? New Orleans is home to many haunted locations including
historic homes and cemeteries. Here are 5 of the best ghost tours in New
Orleans:
Haunted
Pub Crawl New Orleans
A pub crawl is a fun way to enjoy
the best of New Orleans’ nightlife, with a group of friends or family. Think of
it as an overnight road trip through the French Quarter, minus the driving part
and with more alcohol than you can handle at once.
A ghost tour takes place in various
locations throughout town but always ends back at Bourbon Street where there
are plenty of bars, restaurants and entertainment options to choose from.
You'll learn about the history of each spot on your tour before moving on to
another landmark nearby—but don't worry because if you get tired during any
part of this process then just let someone know so they can carry your heavy
backpack!
Voodoo
Cemetery Tour New Orleans
- Voodoo is a religion that
originated in West Africa and has been practiced in Louisiana since the
1700s. It's also known as hoodoo or voodooism, and it's very popular in
New Orleans today.
- The Voodoo Cemetery Tour is one
of the most popular ghost tours around. You'll get to explore some haunted
cemeteries around town while learning about voodoo history and folklore,
as well as how it connects with death rituals today. This tour includes
two different options: one that goes inside cemeteries (and doesn't have
any special effects) or another with special effects such as firecrackers
going off during your visit!
- The Voodoo Museum & Shop
offers a great way to learn more about this fascinating culture (including
its history), but if you want something more interactive then try visiting
their shop where they sell everything from dolls made out of chicken wire
to ceremonial items like knives used by priests during ceremonies for
ancestors buried underground."
Haunted
Cemetery
Haunted Cemetery is a very popular
tour that is usually overbooked. This ghost tour takes you around the cemetery,
where many of New Orleans' famous people are buried. You'll learn about the
history of this place and how it became such an important part of the city's
culture.
There are several different options
for this tour:
- Walking Tour (1 hour): This
option allows you to walk around at your own pace while listening to
stories from your guide about each person who was buried here. It's also
possible to just sit down by one grave or another for longer periods if
you'd like!
- Ghost Tour (2 hours): If you
want more information about all aspects of life in New Orleans'
past—including witchcraft and voodoo beliefs—then this format might be
right up your alley! You'll learn everything from why so many people died
during Hurricane Katrina (it's because they were trying to get away from
all those zombies)
New
Orleans Vampire Tour
The New Orleans Vampire Tour
is the best way to learn about vampires and their history in the city. This
tour guides you through hidden streets, abandoned mansions and graveyards
before ending at a haunted cemetery where you can see firsthand how people were
killed by these creatures.
The tour features several different
experiences that will have you feeling like you are being stalked by something
from beyond! You’ll start off by meeting us at our hotel or Airbnb for an early
check-in (no need for reservations) before heading out into the streets of
downtown New Orleans. We will show you around some local hotspots including
Jackson Square and Magazine Street where we share our knowledge about all
things related to this fascinating topic; then it's time for dinner! After
dinner we'll head over to Lafitte Greenway Park next door but first let me tell
you why this park holds such significance when it comes down memory lane: In
1715 two Frenchmen named Joseph Brouillette and Jaques de Magee were sentenced
under death penalty because they had been caught red handed setting up an
illegal brothel operation inside Lafitte Greenway which was also known as
"The Swamp".
Afterwards we'll head over there now
known today as Lady Liberty Cemetery which houses many famous people including
George Washington Carver who was born here after moving here from rural Georgia
during slavery times."
Haunted
Cemetery Bus Tour
If you're looking for a ghost tour
that's more than just a guided walk, consider this one. The Haunted Cemetery
Bus Tour takes you through the city's cemeteries and graveyards, giving you
an opportunity to see the city in all its glory at night. You'll pass by some
of the most haunted spots in New Orleans—including Metairie Cemetery and St
Louis Cemetery Number 1—and learn about what makes them so special. It's also a
great way to get a feel for all of New Orleans' history by seeing how it was
founded on burial grounds that once held slaves as well as free blacks who died
during slavery times (or after emancipation).

Crawl New Orleans
A bar crawl in New Orleans is
a great way to experience the city. It's fun, it's social, and you'll get to

doesn't matter! The best bars are in the French Quarter (like Bourbon Street),
but there are also plenty around town that are worth checking out if you're
looking for something different.
