What to expect
Omni Royal Orleans
Learn the harrowing true-crime story that rocked the city of New Orleans to its core. Zack and Addie were two young lovers with their whole lives ahead of them, till Hurricane Katrina hit – pushing the local couple into a downward spiral that would end in tragedy for them both.
10 minutes
900 Royal St
Hear the bizarre true story behind the cast iron spikes on balcony poles along 900 Royal Street, and the unfortunate turn of events that led to the death of one amorous young man back in the late 19th century.
15 minutes
Get acquainted with a certain Madame Delphine MacCarthy LaLaurie. Once a respected member of New Orleans high society, LaLaurie has gone down as one of the most brutal killers the city has ever seen.
15 minutes
Watch out for vampires stalking the Old Ursuline Convent, one of the most mysterious and alluring sites in the whole French Quarter. The Ursuline nuns were among the first groups of women to settle in the New World, and their story weaves Catholicism with ghosts, vampires, and historic hauntings dating back to New Orleans’ first settlers.
15 minutes
Cross the street from the convent to the Beauregard-Keyes House, and keep watch for Caroline – the house’s resident cat. She may nuzzle against your leg or stop to lick a paw, but the bell round her neck will make no sound. Under the stairway in the courtyard, you’ll find Caroline’s name engraved on her tombstone, and realize she’s an apparition. Listening to your guide here at the house, you’ll realize she’s far from alone...
15 minutes
Bourbon Orleans Hotel
Stop here at the rebuilt Bourbon Orleans Hotel and learn of the tragedy that unfolded back in 1854, when screams of terror rang out as the iron rods supporting the upper gallery gave way, and half the building folded like a deck of cards.
10 minutes
Pere Antoine Alley
Stroll down Père Antoine Alley, beneath the elegant St. Louis Cathedral, and learn of Père Antoine – a key figure in New Orleans’ Catholic history. This beloved old parish priest cared deeply for his congregation – so deeply, in fact, that even in death his spirit is still said to make the walk between the alley and the cathedral.
15 minutes
Visit the legendary New Orleans dive bar Lafitte’s, where tales of smuggling, privateering, and hauntings have been circulating since the early 19th century. As one of the French Quarter’s oldest buildings, patrons have often reported paranormal activity – making this stop a highlight of our New Orleans ghost walking tour.
10 minutes
Soak up the atmosphere in Jackson Square, in the heart of the French Quarter. Look out over Saint Louis Cathedral as neighborhood artists, street performers, and psychics entertain the crowds, and discover remains of the old city in the historic Place d’Armes Hotel – one of New Orleans’ most haunted hotels.
