Ghost tour in New Orleans
Run by New Orleans Ghosts (US Ghost Adventures)
Book through our links and Spookt gets a small cut, at no extra cost to you. It keeps the research going. How that works
US Ghost Adventures’ pub crawl visits four bars, a mix of local craft producers and neighborhood watering holes, with haunted stops in between. The lineup changes with the day of the week and the season, so take it for the night out as much as for the stories.

Bar
By tradition, the pirate Jean Lafitte and his brother Pierre posed as blacksmiths in this late-1700s cottage to cover their illegal trade in enslaved people. Ghost tours tell of bartenders and patrons spotting Jean at a table near the piano bar.
Church
The priest Père Antoine wrote that fire engulfed the church before this cathedral "in less than half an hour" on March 21, 1788. Guides tell of his ghost humming hymns in the alley that carries his name.
House
On April 10, 1834, a fire at Delphine LaLaurie's Royal Street mansion revealed seven enslaved people who had been starved, tortured, and chained. By 1889, the writer George Washington Cable was calling it "The Haunted House in Royal Street."
