French Quarter Ghost Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear Included

At Jackson Square, the heart of haunted New Orleans, travelers will begin their journey surrounded by centuries of dark history. Framed by the iconic St. Louis Cathedral and shadowed by the looming presence of Père Antoine Alley, guests will hear chilling tales of colonial executions, voodoo rituals, and restless spirits said to linger in the square. As we distribute EMF detectors, travelers will learn how to use real paranormal gear before diving into the French Quarter’s most haunted corners. It’s the perfect starting point—equal parts beauty, mystery, and bone-deep chills.

At Pirate’s Alley, travelers will step into one of New Orleans’ most mysterious and atmospheric passageways—narrow, dimly lit, and brimming with lore. As we guide you through the alley’s dark past, you’ll hear tales of duels, smuggling, and the ghost of legendary pirate Jean Lafitte, said to still walk these bricks. You’ll use your EMF detector to scan for paranormal activity while standing just steps from the cathedral, where shadows seem to move on their own. It’s a place where myth, murder, and the supernatural collide—right in the heart of the Quarter.

At the Andrew Jackson Hotel, travelers will visit one of the most notoriously haunted lodgings in the French Quarter. Built on the ashes of a boys' boarding school that burned down in the 1700s, this site is said to be haunted by the spirits of children—heard laughing, running, or even tugging at guests’ clothes. You'll hear chilling stories of tragic fires, ghostly pranks, and the lingering presence of a woman in black. As we scan the area with EMF detectors, don’t be surprised if the energy spikes—many believe this hotel is one of the most active paranormal hotspots in New Orleans.

At the Touchdown Jesus statue, located near St. Anthony of Padua Church, travelers will encounter one of New Orleans’ most unexpected and eerie landmarks. Nicknamed for its outstretched arms resembling a referee’s touchdown signal, this towering figure has become the subject of local lore. Some claim to see the statue's expression change at night, or feel a strange presence while standing beneath it. Though it may seem like an odd stop, its proximity to cemeteries and reports of supernatural encounters have made it a favorite for EMF activity. It’s a surreal, spiritual, and slightly unsettling moment on the tour.

At the infamous LaLaurie Mansion, travelers will stand before one of the most chilling and tragic sites in New Orleans. Once home to Madame Delphine LaLaurie, this grand residence hides a gruesome past—where enslaved people were brutally tortured in secret chambers until a fire exposed her horrors to the city. Locals say their screams still echo through the walls, and shadowy figures have been seen moving behind the upper windows. As guests scan the site with EMF detectors, it’s not uncommon for devices to light up. This is not just a haunted house—it’s one of the darkest chapters in New Orleans’ haunted history.

At the Old Ursuline Convent Museum, travelers will visit the oldest building in the Mississippi Valley—dating back to 1752—and one of the most quietly chilling stops on the tour. Once home to the Ursuline nuns and a mysterious group of young women known as the “Casket Girls,” the convent is steeped in eerie legends involving locked attic shutters, vampire lore, and secretive rituals. As you explore the outer grounds with your EMF detector, you’ll hear tales of unexplained phenomena, drained bodies, and why the attic has remained sealed for centuries. It’s a beautiful facade—hiding some of New Orleans’ darkest secrets.
