Haunted History Tours’ French Quarter walk visits what the company calls the neighborhood’s most infamous and eerie locations, with a local guide and a stop inside a haunted bar. The company says it draws “on the drama of history” rather than on costumes and camp. A straightforward choice for a first ghost walk in the city.

Places
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."
