Dusk is the perfect time to go

Mama Nita is an excellent story teller. Tour was informative. Appreciated the misters. Lots of history. It wasn't full dark which allowed us to see more.

Go with this Ghostly Good Fun!!

Mama Nita was a great guide for our cemetery tour! She was bossy; but in a good kind of drill sergeant mama bossy way. She made it fun and interesting! When she tells you to take the picture of the tomb with all the X's and keep walking; make sure you stop for a minute and take in all the fun magical wonder that is the tomb of the voodoo queen! Even though they say it aint anymore so people dont mess with it again! Just make sure you dont get out of line on Mama Nita's tour; because rumor and legend has it, that the last 7 individuals that got out of line in her group ended up entombed in the fence wall of the cemetery behind 13 bricks that are cemented there now for the rest of eternity!!â˜ ī¸đŸ”ŽđŸĒĻđŸ•¯âš°ī¸đŸ‘ģ🕸🕷đŸĻ‍âŦ›đŸŽƒđŸĒžđŸ–¤đŸŠļ🤍💀
