Ghost tour

We took a ghost tour can't go to New Orleans without one of those. We have seen so many references on the travel channel about all of the haunted property there that we couldn't pass it up. It was a lot of fun and a great way to walk around the city and see the different homes. Unfortunately I don't remember which stories go with which houses for the most part but the houses are still fun to look at.



This one I just took cause I loved the balcony and plants.



This next one is actually linked to what they think is a vampire story. A women passed out and was driven home by a man who took her to this place and when she came to he was leering over her with longer eye teeth than normal she ran out of the building and came back with the police but of course he was gone. The rugs in the room were saturated in blood. The only thing I always wonder about is how come vampires waist so much of the stuff?



There was a local butcher who lived in the upper floor of this place and he got married later in life. The woman he married brought her sister along to live with them and this didn't turn out to be such a good idea (seriously is it ever?). The downstairs neighbors said that they fought all of the time and one night after a very noisy fight ending in screams blood started dripping from the ceiling. They went for the police and when they got back to investigate he had chopped them up and packaged them neatly with their heads on top. On the anniversary date of the death every year they say that blood pools on the ceiling and drips and then dissapears.



This picture was for the boys have to have a picture of Pirate's alley.



I don't know that we would ever do a haunted tour again mostly since there is so much to do there and never enough time but it was definately worth doing at least once. And a lot of fun to see the city at night. We also went to areas that we never would have gone on our own.
