Haunted History New Orleans Garden District Ghost Tour




A definite must do! My roommate and I took this tour the weekend before Halloween, keeping in theme with the holiday. Going into the tour, I was unsure what to expect because the one and only ghost tour that I have ever previously taken was in Colonial Williamsburg (2007), which was by far the lamest thing that I have ever done! This tour, however, was AWESOME! Our tour guide used to be (or maybe still is) a landscape architect and had worked at many of the homes, learning their ghost stories while on the job. The best part of the tour was definitely her enthusiasm for the subject matter and apparent belief in the super natural!

The week prior to taking this tour, my roommate and I took the Fodor's Garden District walking tour on pages 66-74 of their 2009 New Orleans Travel Guide. While many of the homes listed in Fodor's were also covered during the Haunted History Ghost tour, the material contrasted greatly, with Fodor's descriptions neglecting any information related to the super natural.

    umm, yes, the tour guide was very enthusiastic.. and very proud of the red, silk, HAUNTED curtains that she found in the garbage of one of the houses on the tour and put up in her place. I made up the part about the curtains being haunted.

    You forgot to mention that the curtains used to belong to Trent Reznor, who she snuck back stage at VooDoo the other year so that she could get him to autograph them! Details, details...
