Haunted New Orleans

Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre

A young bride on the day of her wedding, jumped from the side of the roof that overlooked the courtyard. Many people have seen her standing at the place where she jumped. Also there have been experiences of cold spots in the courtyard, and in the fountain at night you can see the reflection of the girl standing where she fell. Another story of a ghost takes place on the second story in the theatre. When people would return to their seats after a brief absence, an old man would be sitting in their spot reading a newspaper, wearing old-time clothing.

The Morgue bar and lounge

This building was built in 1849 and was originally used as the city’s first integrated mortuary, particularly during the huge yellow fever epidemic of 1853. Ten thousand people died in New Orleans that year. Though paranormal activity has been recorded in the main bar area, the most well known haunting here is of the mortician’s daughter. She used to steal jewelry from the dead….and still borrows items from unsuspecting ladies who use the women’s restroom. The restroom area was once the place where the bodies were stored.

Myrtle Inn Plantation

A slave poisoned her owners’ wife and two children to make them sick and nurse them back to health so she would not be sent to the fields. During one of the meals she overdosed the poison and the three died. She eventually confessed to what she done and was hung. The spirits are seen in various places. The wife is seen in the staircase. The children are seen playing in the rooms and front lawn. The slave has also been seen around the house. There is also a hand print that appears on a mirror on the main floor; no matter how many times the glass is replaced.

O’Flaherty’s Irish Channel Pub

There are a couple ghosts that haunt this place. One is a former owner who is looking for something, but seems to never find it. There is another former owner who killed his secretary when she wouldn’t have an affair with him then killed himself. Both are seen lurking about. There is also a little boy who became separated from his mom in the French Quarter and died. He still wanders about, looking for his mother. He came into O’Flaherty’s and one of the other ghosts seems to have taken him in.

The Super Dome

During Hurricane Katrina, numerous people were killed in the Super Dome. There were two suicides, people were raped and murdered, and others died from natural causes. Apparitions roam around during games and throughout the day.

St. Louis Cathedral

Occasionally on early morning rain storms, the spirit of Pere Dagobert can be heard singing the “Kyrie.” The voice travels from St. Louis Cathedral to St. Louis Cemetery.

Holly Ridge railroad tracks

A long time ago there was the conductor of the train and his worker got into a fight and the worker decapitated the conductor. The conductor comes back every night in a red orb. It can be seen floating down the railroad tracks.
