Description

Begin your journey through the French Quarter’s haunted heart, where supernatural tales intertwine with real-life atrocities, resistance, and the lingering spirits of the silenced, the wronged, and the forgotten. Stop at the LaLaurie Mansion and hear the true horrors of Madame Delphine and Dr. LaLaurie. Learn about the very real, systemic torture of enslaved people. Their horror wasn’t supernatural—it was social, racial, and all too human. And yet, the hauntings there feel all the more powerful because of that truth. From there, wander through streets soaked in crime lore, looking into courtyards whispered to be vampire lairs, and homes that breathe sorrow through their walls. Explore true murders whitewashed by polite history, and restless spirits that refuse to be prettied up for tourists. Told with grit, reverence, and a touch of candlelit poetry, this tour is for those who want to feel the weight of history and mystery pressed into the stones of this city. Not everything that haunts you is dead.
