HAUNTED NEW ORLEANS
PRESENTED BY TROY TAYLOR
There is no city in America that is as haunted as New Orleans. It is a city that was built with blood, mud, and river water and has been home to more killers, pirates, and thieves than just about any other place in the country – and its three centuries in existence has left more than its share of ghosts and spirits behind.
There are more ghosts and ghost stories in New Orleans than there are iron balconies in the French Quarter and this evening event will give you a taste of the most infamous tales that are still being told in the city, including:
The LaLaurie Mansion
Haunted Hotels, Bars, and Restaurants
Storyville
Marie Laveau and Voodoo in New Orleans
New Orleans’ Haunted Graveyards
The Axman and his Mysterious Jazz And More!
Do things a little differently to kick off this Mardi Gras season and make your “spirits” the spooky kind!
