New Orleans’ oldest above-ground cemetery was established in 1789. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the cemetery is the final resting place of well-known residents like Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau and William Claiborne, first American Governor of Louisiana. What really sets the cemetery apart is its above-ground tombs, distinct from other cemeteries throughout the country. Although you can’t visit at night, you just might get a feel for its eerie atmosphere on a tour during the day.
Shows like “American Horror Story” have painted the LaLaurie Mansion as one of the most haunted locations in New Orleans…not that it needed the help. The grand house on Royal Street is infamous for once being home to Delphine LaLaurie, a woman who imprisoned and brutally tortured slaves in the house. There have been reports of paranormal activity in the home for over 200 years, with visitors claiming to have been taken over by negative energy. The ghosts are thought to be those of the people who lost their lives at the hands of LaLaurie.
Still standing on Dauphine Street, the 1800s Sultan’s Palace is the site of a grisly murder and years of subsequent hauntings. A Turkish man who claimed to be a sultan purchased the home from a wealthy plantation owner and turned it into a spectacle of ongoing parties and lavish events. One morning, a passerby noticed blood seeping down the front steps of the palace…and the rest is history. The house is now a private home, but you can still get a glimpse from the outside and imagine the horror within. Various visitors and residents of the home have experienced their share of paranormal events over the years, like a dog being pushed down the stairs by some invisible force. We’re happy to stay outside.
One of NOLA’s most popular museums, the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum houses an impressive collection of pharmaceutical artifacts like old surgical devices and voodoo potions…not to mention its own in-house ghost! The ghost of former resident Dr. Dupas is said to wreak havoc at night, setting off the security system and moving displays around. That might not seem too bad on its own, but you might think twice given the man’s sinister past. He’s said to have performed fatal medical experiments on pregnant women.
The UpStairs Lounge was a gay bar located directly over the Jimani Bar on Chartres St. In 1973, an unknown arsonist set fire to the Lounge, trapping dozens of people inside. The blaze killed 32 people, and its effects can still be felt today. Patrons of the Jimani Bar, still in business today, often feel icy chills, hear strange whispers, and notice the faint smell of smoke.
