Haunted Places: Church

  • Church

    Old Ursuline Convent

    The Ursuline nuns finished this convent in 1752. Legend has it the shutters on its third floor were nailed shut to keep in vampires, carried to New Orleans in the trunks of the "casket girls."

  • Church

    St. Louis Cathedral

    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.
