Haunted New Orleans - Tell Us Your Story!
"One morning, while walking my dog through the Garden District, I was admiring the mansions and as I reached the corner of 2nd and Prytania, I caught a strong whiff of floral perfume. I halted and was amazed by the overwhelming scent and nothing around me indicated a source for it! I walked a few steps away and returned to the spot only to discover that the scent was completely gone. "

Haunted History Stories
When one thinks of New Orleans, the images conjured are often of the drunken revelry on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras, a lone saxaphonist on a corner in the French Quarter playing the sweet sounds of jazz, the "Mighty Mississippi River" eternally flowing into the Gulf and powdered sugar-laden beignets accompanied by a thick, chicory-laced cafe au lait. This alluring imagery is definitive of New Orleans, but our city also has a "dark side" that is just as facinating.

This old building looks almost as if it is about to fall down at any moment. But there's life in that old mortar, and some of it is supernatural to be sure. Lafitte's Old Blacksmith Shop just oozes with genuine haunted New Orleans atmosphere. Dimly lit, with flickering candles and dark woodwork, old fireplaces and a decrepit courtyard, it is easy for the truly ghostly-minded to expect a ghost at every turn.

A paranormal research team identified four ghosts at LePavillon including a 19th century teenage girl, a young aristocratic couple from the 1920’s and a dapper gentleman from the same era who likes to play pranks on the cleaning staff. This hotel was built in 1907, and inside of this spectacular grand hotel, you will find crystal chandeliers, historic antiques and - evidently - several lively ghosts. One guest visiting for a large medical convention held in New Orleans gave an account of a old, gray-haired woman sitting on the side of his bed. He said he could feel the weight of her body on the bed and her cold hands stroking his head. He checked out within the hour.
