Mystical & Haunted New Orleans


Spinetingling adventures await the fearless traveler

New Orleans is the most haunted city in the United States. This city is a place where the dead refuse to rest, in fact, there is no solid ground to hold them.  Famous for its practitioners of the mystical arts, from Voodoo queens to professed vampires and Wiccans, New Orleans sets the stage for all manner of third eye explorations. It’s also been the backdrop for occult-themed films and television shows, from True Blood and Interview with a Vampire to American Horror Story Coven. The proliferation and popularity of walking tours that cast an all-seeing eye onto some of the most infamous haunted sites in the French Quarter and beyond tell the grisly tale.  From pirates to yellow fever victims to murdered slaves, all manner of other-worldly creatures may just join you on your stroll.

Join the city’s mystical séance. Take a cemetery tour or spend a night in a ghostly hotel. New Orleans features witches and warlocks, vampires and ghosts of every description. New Orleans welcomes everyone: the living, the dead and those souls in between.
