Full description

To their friends and families, young New Orleanians Zack and Addie were just another young couple falling in love. They’d had their share of problems in the past, but were making a go of it. When Hurricane Katrina made landfall and ripped huge swathes of New Orleans apart, Addie let Zack move into her apartment so they could ride out the storm together – but little did she know the demon she’d invited into her home. As their relationship strained, bouts of binge-drinking and drug abuse made things worse, and when Addie tried to have Zack evicted it was one of the last moves she’d ever make. The suicide note Police found in Zack’s back pocket led them back to the apartment he’d shared with Addie. On arrival, the horrific scenes they’d discover would shake the already storm-ravaged city to its very core. You’ll hear many more chilling tales of true crime along with stories of supernatural activity on our New Orleans French Quarter Ghost Walk, with added layers of historic context and cultural insight provided by your expert guide. See the Itinerary section below for a sample of the stops. Starts at 710 St Louis Street in front of Sweet Saint Ice Cream Shop and ends at 606 Iberville Street in front of Ghost Bar

My brother and I went on The Resurrection Mary 4-Hour Bus Tour experience with American Ghost Walks in May 2025. Tony was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and we both had a lot of fun!!! I've always been fascinated with anything Resurrection Mary so this tour was right up my alley. We got to use ghost equipment at a few places and got to stop at a cool Irish bar near the old Willowbrook Ballroom (as well as stop at Chet's Melody Lounge). The highlight was visiting Resurrection cemetery and seeing the front gates up close where Resurrection Mary bent the bars back. My mom is buried in that cemetery and my brother and I will be buried with her when our time comes. My mom and I picked that cemetery specifically because of Resurrection Mary. My mom used to dance at the old Willowbrook ballroom and loved the idea of being near there as well as going to Chet's Melody Lounge (bar) across the street. Thank you for a very fun experience!!! I would highly recommend this tour and our guide Tony. :)

It was so much fun and educational I’m not from Chicago so this told me about a lot of the history of Chicago. If I ever come back to Chicago will definitely do another.
