Ghost tour in New Orleans
Run by Royal Carriages
Book through our links and Spookt gets a small cut, at no extra cost to you. It keeps the research going. How that works
Royal Carriages takes small groups past the Quarter’s haunted places by mule-drawn carriage instead of on foot, from the LaLaurie Mansion to Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop and the most haunted hotels. The guide covers history, culture, and architecture as well as the ghosts. A good choice for anyone who would rather ride than walk.

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."
