Book Your Haunted TourFrequently Asked Questions
What makes New Orleans so haunted?▼
Three centuries of dense history in a small area. The French Quarter alone has survived fires, yellow fever epidemics, slavery, piracy, and countless murders. Many of the original buildings still stand -- and the stories stay with them.
What's the difference between a haunted tour and a ghost tour?▼
Basically the same thing. 'Haunted tour' and 'ghost tour' both refer to walking tours through the French Quarter at night, visiting locations with documented paranormal history. We use both terms.
Are the haunted tours appropriate for kids?▼
Our standard ghost tour is family-friendly (ages 5+). The guides adjust their storytelling for the audience. If you want something more intense, the adults-only tour and paranormal ghost hunt are 18+.
