Itinerary
In the 19th century, an area along Bayou St. John was reputedly the location of many voodoo rituals by Marie Laveau. The Magnolia Bridge over the Bayou continues to serve as a site for such rituals every St. John's Eve.
Your introduction to haunted burial ground begin at the gates of this cemetery built in the 1800s during the yellow fever epidemics as the city ran out of room to bury its dead. Everything was something else before it is what it is today. This famous burial location was once a lepers colony with a cemetery of its own. You might say it's a cemetery on top of a cemetery.
Stop here for a quick break and a chance to grab a bite at Cafe du Monde (own expense.)

Interesting, fun ghost tour with a special treat stop in the middle.

Historical ghosts
Great bus tour with experienced friendly guide, Kristy. She knows a great deal about ghosts in New Orleans. The air conditioned bus was deliciously cold between stops. Our group had a friendly vibe
Too expensive for the experience.
Trip did not include enough information about the city. I expected to go into more than one cemetery and have more time to explore.
Great tour, Greta guide!
