Having lived in New Orleans my entire 53 years i can say after Katrina the WHOLE city is haunted any street anywhere. The death toll was unbelievable. Bodies floating in streets, it was awful. There are even some businesses that have altars set up outside with the names of victims made to quell their restless spirits.
I moved from New Orleans just before Katrina. I had friends I have never been able to find since Katrina. I have assumed they died in the hurricane. I watched the aftermath on TV, the house I lived in was completely gone.
KY girl here, I've visited New Orleans a few times and I struggle to leave each time. I may need to move there. Every inch of the city is dripping with history and personality. The only city that lives in you. I can't get enough of it.
NOLA tour guide here. Just a couple of things...1) The first telling of the Sultans Palace story was in Tehran and a good 900 years before there even was a New Orleans. 2) Marie Laveau was a much better person than you've been lead to believe. Look up her obituary in the New York Times for a better glimpse of who she was. Fun fact, she was devoutly Catholic. 3) Do not leave Xs on Marie's tomb. Defacing her grave is a big part of the reason why people aren't allowed in without a tour guide anymore.
I go to Marie Laveau’s house all the time. She was not evil and she was born on Sept 10, 1801, not 1794. Her tomb is the second most visited in the country only behind Elvis. The Laularie Mansion is the most haunted house in America. I was tapped on the shoulder and there was nobody behind me. I was standing right outside the house and it was 3pm lol.
You are so right about Marie. She was a beloved community leader, devoted to charity and helping the poor. She was married in St. Louis Cathedral and given proper Catholic burial at St. Louis #1. People have no idea what voodoo is--they just no they are racist and like to judge things they don't understand. Yes, the LaLaurie mansion is paranormally active on the Gov. Nicholls wall. Being tapped is common.
Being born and raised here and also being a hospitality worker in the French quarter, I was so ready to be upset at this video!! Kudos sir!! 9/10 is very good!! That cafe one still tickles me till this day!!! 😂
Cafe dumond was my daily morning ritual chicory coffee and a benige I can't remember how to spell it and watching the sun rise over the Mississippi was pure joy
Whoever's reading this,I pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! amen
I always think every once in a while the River demands tribute and thats how so many people end up drowning in it. The banks of the river as SCARY to me.
@@jeffc4u1 since I was very young I could feel the "drawing power" of the river. Many spiritually sensitive people can feel the " pulling effect" of the river... like it's drawing you in. I used to work on a boat docked at the river, and at night I could hear screams coming from the waters, especially during the witching hours. So many people have lost their lives in the New Orleans stretch of the river over many hundreds of years. I would say it is DEFINITELY HAUNTED.
I’m from New Orleans and I actually caught a ghost on film from the Old Absinthe House!! I love being a tourist in my own city! New Orleans is a fascinating place and I love being a part of its history!
@@jasonconrad4314 you know what jasonconrad4314 “ STAY OFF our site “ !!!! Their are such things as spirits !! I had a lady who died in a house I was renting and I seen her all the time every day!!! I will make sure that you are taken OFF our site!!!
Great video, and even better topic. I absolutely love New Orleans, especially "The Quarter!" No not because of Bourbon St., but the history of the city. I could spend a week there and still be excited about every building, home, Hotel, etc. Love that place!!

You mention Kathy Bates playing the role in AHS. Angela Bassett also starred in that show, COVEN, as Marie Laveau. Great Season too, btw! Haha. I like the facts of this video just as must.
As a native New Orleanian, most of these are pretty spot on. You missed City Park (hangman’s tree) the swamp areas, Audubon park to name a few. I must admit I did have a small laugh at some of your pronunciations, but mean no disrespect. This was a good watch this morning!
The Octoroon Mistress that appears at the Tea House on Royal Street, or the fighting pirates in Pirates Alley, Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, the children that continuously jump out of the window at LaLaurie's, Chalmette Battle Field, St. Louis No. 2, Antoine's Restaurant ...the list goes on. Btw, Madame LaLaurie's husband did not leave her. During the fire, a large crowd formed outside of the house and she and her husband ran away in their carriage to who knows where. Some say she went to France, but no one knows. Lifetime NOLA resident.
Delphine and Louis did leave together. First to Biloxi by ferry, then New York City. From there, Louis DID leave her. He did not accompany her to Paris. She did absolutely move to Paris and died there in 1849. In 1851, two of her children exhumed her body and brought her back to New Orleans. We don't know where her body is, but her dying wish was to be interred at St. Louis #1. She's in there somewhere, illegally. Louis went to Cuba. We know this for a fact. The nature of their break up is a mystery, but he practiced medicine in Cuba and he is buried there. They never saw each other again after New York. Delphine was fairly sequestered in France. Everyone knew what she and Louis did, and slavery was extremely frowned upon in France. She was shunned and stayed inside most of her final years. We have numerous letters from her to her daughters expressing her desire to come back to New Orleans.
I can personally confirm cafe du monde 😮 I didn’t know there was a ghost so I didn’t pay no kind to it. I ordered for my friend and myself, 30 minutes pass and nothing. We then went to a waiter and asked where our beignets and coffee was and they said we never order 😒. I was so mad because I thought it was just horrible service. After we ordered for the second time, we got our food within 10 min.
Can confirm the St. Louis No. 1 cemetery. Idk about the absinthe house, but Jean Lafitte's Tavern (I think it is called Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop or something like that) is one of the oldest buildings in NOLA. It has been known to have some late night ghost activity.
My husband and I were walking through St. Louis 1 in the mid 1990s. We love cemeteries and this one is very unique in many ways. Some of the graves have been neglected and have broken open. Others have been replastered. We came around one of the corners and saw something move very fast. Looking down, there was a full-blown voodoo altar on the step of a tomb. Candles, money, a small bottle of bourbon, and a still-smoking cigar was there. We apologized to the spirits who had been summoned and then we walked away. The keeper at the gate stopped us as we left and thanked us for being considerate of someone else's practice. I'm an author and there's a chapter with this story, with fictional embellishments, in the first book of my series. I love NOLA and we want to go back and explore again.
It’s simply the most beautiful, historical place in the US. If you go there to find ghosts that is what you will find. If you go for beauty and history you will be rewarded with both beyond your wildest dreams .
Please tell them! If you go looking for what knocks in the night, then you’ll get it. But if you’re strictly there to take in the awesome atmosphere, great food, and kind people, then that’s what you’ll get.😊
I took the ghost tour in Nah Leans, and learned about some of these hauntings. But it was when I was just walking down the sidewalk by the cemetery where i was physically pulled to the left by something. I was the only one around so i have no explanation for that.
@@cameronhassert5200 facts how you gone tell somebody that not a true New Orleanian I lived here all my life and never heard not one of these stories😭😂 and I walked past that cemetery so many times and never thought none of it
I am 50 year old woman that have had a great childhood and also great teen years in the city of New Orleans, and a few of these stories I’ve heard, and a few you have enlightened me on, but I will say, this city has some great history, and also not so great history, but I love the city I was born and raised in, but I only go to the city to visit family periodically.
Buahahhaa as a resident of the Metro New Orleans Area I agree. Matter of fact there is this meme going around about Haunted Houses being so expensive that Id rather walk around the street and die for real 😅
I mean--you're not wrong. I am much more afraid of being carjacked in broad daylight than of any of the ghosts or spirits. And I see a lot of spirits here. The people are scarier.
Returning after a long break: Starting off with a ghost waiter..Then a story about a beauty with a cute baker I've never heard of before?....Gotta watch the whole list! Next level topics. :) Nice job on this list, guys!
Nick Cage has owned some really bizarre houses. He collects real estate. I saw him with his 3rd wife and son, Cal El, coming out of the Anne Rice house in the Garden District.
Do you mean Vodou, because that's what it actually is. Everytime I visit, I leave a hair tie at the site of Marie Laveau's home for good luck like so many others.
@@trishlong7702 It's not evil at all. That is 100% pure racism, promoted by Hollywood. Maybe study it first before saying something hateful. It is a legitimate religion practiced by hundreds of thousands of people. Louisiana Voodoo adopted parts of Catholicism; it is a mix.

I've witnessed 2 occurrences in the goth bar on Bourbon and Toulouse called The Dungeon. It's hard core bar that is SO FREAKING AWESOME...coffin on 2nd floor, chained skeletons, ancient jail cells to party in, bathrooms behind a moving book shelf.....it's open from midnight to 6am 🔥🥃🤘☠️
Sadly the Dungeon has gotten rid of the bookshelf bathroom! They switched some of the other cool stuff around too and it has totally lost its unique ambiance. Breaks my heart! I’ll never forget the first time I drunkenly stumbled upon it at age 19 (got to love Louisiana alcohol laws).
@@GeminiTheDoll this kind of just confirmed it for me, I'm sorry. Sounds like way, way too fine of a line & it's easy to assume it's used erroneously, for pure evil. (To those with religious beliefs pertaining to God & Satan), my thoughts are simply just this: Satan knows EXACTLY how to use extreme trickery to cloak the evil in "good". Therefore, dabbling in voodoo ultimately means playing with the devil. End result? Evil \ (o _ o) /
Canal Street cemetery, past S. Carrollton and canal, houses, are built over cemetery, plenty of New Orleans is built of a grave yards. The Saint Bernard project, where Nelson school is built, used be grave yards. It's hunted, a fortune teller Lady, in Milton court, of the Saint Bernard project, hang her grand daughter in close, little girl spirit still in that apartment downstairs, I know we used live there, when I was 8 years old, little mad contact with me, we had move. Office told my mom, little girl was hanging with rope tired to her neck in the closet. Hunted. I was only one can here her cry.
Check out the North Rampart St. murder house. Was home to a very well known Voodoo Priestess, and also apt. where a horrible murder took place. Been there many times, and it's worth looking into.
You definitely missed the pronunciation of or city. The only time to pronounce it “New Or-Leenz” is during a song. It’s “New Or-lens” and NEVER “N’awlins”!
Look up St. Roch Chapel. It’s a more obscure spooky site. Also to my knowledge, Lalaurie’s husband partook in the experiments, as he was an orthopedic surgeon, and they escaped together. Her body was shipped back to NOLA from France after her death and she’s buried in St. Louis no.1
I volunteered with a group from work to help clean St. Louis cementary after Katrina. The amount of skull bones that surfaced creeped to heck out of me
Born and raised in NO LA the city my home my heart. I love the rich history of the homes and buildings. The New Orleans people are some of the nicest good hearted people you will ever meet
My family is FROM New Orleans... My ancestor did the art in St. Louis Cathedral and many other celebrated works of art. He has stuff in NYC that I've seen. Be respectful of New Orleans or you'll make a fool of yourself. Keep in mind New Orleans was literally the richest best part of America in in the 1850s and 1860s. The ONLY city close to New Orleans (especially the French Quarter) was Boston. It has the oldest richest things like 5 star hotels etc. So try to keep from talking about voodoo and things you really don't know about. New Orleans, especially the French Quarter, is more than the boring tourist trap where a bunch of gross ppl vomit everywhere embarrassing both themselves and the city of New Orleans
Nicholas Cage owned that home for a time. I often wonder if the stories of him only spending one night there are true. He did lose it to foreclosure 2009.
As a New Orleanian, you making me mad by pronouncing the name wrong lol. The only time you say it like that is when your talking about the actual street, not the city.
As a New Orleanian , this is light work. Madame Lalauries mansion is a museum now, but not even the staff stays there after dark. Weird 🤬 starts to happen. I went to school down The street from many haunted plantations.
The most terrifying place(s) are any brothels, gambling dens, prisons, mines, or hotels/inns in New Orleans. They have been the ruin of many a poor boy (and god I know I’m one)
You wouldn't be cursed. Marie Leveau was a good person, a devout Catholic, and Voodoo is not evil at all. Her house might be haunted, as nearly all are here, but the curse thing is just racist boogeyman stuff.
I was born & raised in New Orleans and had my own paranormal experience at one of the buildings in Louis Armstrong Memorial Park back in late 1988. I also heard a story of ghosts in the park from a coworker.
As someone who was born and raised here, and still lives here and been the cafe du monde like a thousand times, i say def go to cafe du monde. Aint no ghosts there just coffee and beignets 😂
All of NOLA is haunted but I would not avoid any of it! Makes it even better. But I think you know that. Cafe Du Monde - that one was hilarious. You do know people are stinking drunk when they go there at night.
Having lived in New Orleans my entire 53 years i can say after Katrina the WHOLE city is haunted any street anywhere. The death toll was unbelievable. Bodies floating in streets, it was awful.

Very true. I was born & raised there. Was forced to leave because of katrina & i still miss it. No other Place In The Universe Like It.
Just move here girl, at the very least we will surely feed you better than KY.

You will love 💗 it ! New Orleans is a beautiful place, great food, friendly people and much more!!!
Its demonic
all of my family is from New Orleans I'm from Baton Rouge myself. but. the swamps and the bayous are more haunted then the city itself.
Wow scary
I live on the bayou and I haven’t ever heard anything scary.
That's true. The majority of my experiences have been outdoors here--especially by water.

Didn’t she torture her black slaves? How is that not evil? I’m from New York so idk how true that is, but it’s not the first time I heard it.

@@jaredbourgeois4722 oh. No not from a worker. I don't go there
U don't go because of the haunting?
I work at the city park location. I should come by..
It’s pronounced New Orlens, not Orleens. Only pronounced Orleens with Orleans parish.
Tell that to Louis Armstrong! 😂
That drove me crazy from the first second of the video. Not someone who knows their stuff lol.
Yep. I’m from Baton Rouge but have spent much time in “New Orlens” and have never heard it pronounced otherwise.
Or Orleens Avenue

Voodoo/hoodoo is not evil. Yes they do use some stuff for returning evil but it’s not inherently evil!
I like to be open minded but come. on. man!! Seriously?!
@@trishlong7702 it’s a religious practice that can be used for both good and evil.
Those who practice learn about the dark, so they can defeat the dark.
@@GeminiTheDoll this kind of just confirmed it for me, I'm sorry. Sounds like way, way too fine of a line & it's easy to assume it's used erroneously, for pure evil. (To those with religious beliefs pertaining to God & Satan), my thoughts are simply just this: Satan knows EXACTLY how to use extreme trickery to cloak the evil in "good". Therefore, dabbling in voodoo ultimately means playing with the devil. End result? Evil \ (o _ o) /
@@trishlong7702 try the percentage thats for good
I live in Louisiana and right next to New Orlean Happy to see this video also love to watch your video every day love New Orlean
Great job Conner! 👏 Really enjoyed your video. I'm not sure if you are new but, you did very well!
He does well but telling people to stay away is silly
Mmm absinthe got to love that stuff, I guess even pirates need a change from rum once in a while
I'd Love To Try It!!
Conner keep up the good work, I’m enjoying the videos
Can you do Charity Hospital Cemetery. I don’t seem to see much about it and I’m curious for personal reasons
They should use it for 31st
Canal Street cemetery, past S. Carrollton and canal, houses, are built over cemetery, plenty of New Orleans is built of a grave yards. The Saint Bernard project, where Nelson school is built, used be grave yards. It's hunted, a fortune teller Lady, in Milton court, of the Saint Bernard project, hang her grand daughter in close, little girl spirit still in that apartment downstairs, I know we used live there, when I was 8 years old, little mad contact with me, we had move. Office told my mom, little girl was hanging with rope tired to her neck in the closet. Hunted. I was only one can here her cry.
I love my city.. I’ve seen and heard many things growing up through the years.
Wats the craziest thing?
Not New “Or-leeeens”. It’s New “Orlins”
I would love to visit these haunted places in New Orleans
There are haunted tours they bring you to each
Make sure to pray everyday
I love New Orleans such a charming place. Love the food and the stores
Check out the North Rampart St. murder house. Was home to a very well known Voodoo Priestess, and also apt. where a horrible murder took place. Been there many times, and it's worth looking into.
I walked down looking for it and some scary folks came around the corner trying to hustle us. Didnt get to see it. Had kids with us.
Who was the well known voodoo priest
@@ericashields9614 Miriam Chamam . She had her spiritual voodoo temple there.
It drives me crazy when people pronounce New Orleans that way
I had to hear him say it again
You definitely missed the pronunciation of or city. The only time to pronounce it “New Or-Leenz” is during a song. It’s “New Or-lens” and NEVER “N’awlins”!
Well said ❤❤❤
Ahh! O.k.
New orleanian here. Love the vid!
I was just in New Orleans and had some one at 2am give me directions but walked around the corner and was just gone... freaked me out ..
I have so much love for Connor's voice, I'm subscribing
Look up St. Roch Chapel. It’s a more obscure spooky site. Also to my knowledge, Lalaurie’s husband partook in the experiments, as he was an orthopedic surgeon, and they escaped together. Her body was shipped back to NOLA from France after her death and she’s buried in St. Louis no.1
Jean Lafitte never met with Jackson at the Old Absinthe House. It's a marketing legend.
The meeting probably happened at The Blacksmith Shop that at the time was owed by Dominic Youx.
And amazing books/book series set there. Dark Hunters, Anne Rice's books.
N'Awlins, baby... :-) ❤
Oh yes theyre doing spooky videos again!!!
I reside in ATL but I have gone to Mardi Gras each for 10 years and I never want to leave… I have had the best🎉time of my life each time
I am a native New Orleanian and you did an excellent job presenting these ghost tales. ❤
I WORK ON BOURBON ST ABOUT 25 YRS AN A COUPLE OF PLACES I WORK WAS HAUNTED. HATED TO WORK LATE SHIFT.......
I volunteered with a group from work to help clean St. Louis cementary after Katrina. The amount of skull bones that surfaced creeped to heck out of me
I was born in thibodaux and Ive lived in Louisiana my entire life! It’s amazing and I love it dearly
Great video! 😁
Born and raised in NO LA the city my home my heart. I love the rich history of the homes and buildings. The New Orleans people are some of the nicest good hearted people you will ever meet
A native New Orleanian here and I've never heard of the Ghost Waiter at Cafe Dumonde but that would freak me out!! FRFR
Great video Thank you for bringing a very meaningful video to the viewer
He is a a awesome host isn't he 🤗
yeah
It used to be until crime got out of control.
The hotel we always book is haunted, but it doesn't bother us since our house in Detroit is also haunted lol
Myrtles
New Orleans East.. TERRIFYING LMAO
My family is FROM New Orleans... My ancestor did the art in St. Louis Cathedral and many other celebrated works of art. He has stuff in NYC that I've seen. Be respectful of New Orleans or you'll make a fool of yourself. Keep in mind New Orleans was literally the richest best part of America in in the 1850s and 1860s. The ONLY city close to New Orleans (especially the French Quarter) was Boston. It has the oldest richest things like 5 star hotels etc. So try to keep from talking about voodoo and things you really don't know about. New Orleans, especially the French Quarter, is more than the boring tourist trap where a bunch of gross ppl vomit everywhere embarrassing both themselves and the city of New Orleans
PREACH! Love it.
New Orleans is pronounced like this New OrLenz.
Commanders Palace. I worked there & upstairs where the herbs, spices, & dry goods are kept there is an OBVIOUS something up there.
If I had been shackled and tortured by Madame Delfina LaLaurie, then I would be mad as hell that she escaped and haunt the hell out of that place
Nicholas Cage owned that home for a time. I often wonder if the stories of him only spending one night there are true. He did lose it to foreclosure 2009.
It is terrifying to get beignets at Cafe Du Monde when Lorettas is soooo much better. ;)
I visited New Orleans, I love it there! I have lived in New Jersey since I was 12
Nice vid
As a New Orleanian, you making me mad by pronouncing the name wrong lol. The only time you say it like that is when your talking about the actual street, not the city.
As a New Orleanian , this is light work. Madame Lalauries mansion is a museum now, but not even the staff stays there after dark. Weird 🤬 starts to happen. I went to school down The street from many haunted plantations.
Me and my family are from New Orleans we came from the Katrina storm
I visited there. Demons attacked me MOST nights! WONT EVER GO BACK!!
Yup..they attack the God light in some of us
Cafe du monde Is a major tourist trap ( learned this years ago ) they’re plenty other great places to go… just want to throw that out there 😂
There is nothing to compare to Cafe Du Monde in the city or anywhere else on Earth. How can Cafe' au lait and beignets be a trap?
The most terrifying place(s) are any brothels, gambling dens, prisons, mines, or hotels/inns in New Orleans. They have been the ruin of many a poor boy (and god I know I’m one)
Same here!! My mother was a tailor sewed my new blue jeans. My father was a gambling man down in New Orleans!!
Love your videos
Part of me wants to go stay at that place that used to be Marie Laveau's house, but I don't wanna get cursed
Marie Laveau was a Vodouist, Vodou is a religion much like Roman Catholic. No curses or anything like that.
@@harmonyblue7756 oh really 😒😒
You wouldn't be cursed. Marie Leveau was a good person, a devout Catholic, and Voodoo is not evil at all. Her house might be haunted, as nearly all are here, but the curse thing is just racist boogeyman stuff.
I was born & raised in New Orleans and had my own paranormal experience at one of the buildings in Louis Armstrong Memorial Park back in late 1988. I also heard a story of ghosts in the park from a coworker.
That looks like al capones cell which is not located in Nola it’s at the eastern state penitentiary in Philadelphia
As someone who was born and raised here, and still lives here and been the cafe du monde like a thousand times, i say def go to cafe du monde. Aint no ghosts there just coffee and beignets 😂
yes! A video about haunted places in NOLA!
Dude you’re saying the name wrong.
I would love to visit New Orleans definitely on my bucket list my uncle runs a B&B there ❤️
yo the thumbnail isn’t even in nola. it’s eastern state penitentiary, philadelphia, pa
No your right. Once them ppl take your order they go hide in the back and mess around
Yep. Born and raised and still live here.
I’m from New Orleans born and raised and I’ve experienced things that just can’t be explained even till this day
All of NOLA is haunted but I would not avoid any of it! Makes it even better. But I think you know that. Cafe Du Monde - that one was hilarious. You do know people are stinking drunk when they go there at night.
They be stinking drunk all day. I hadn't realize all states don't have 24hr drinking and drinking outside being legal.
Thumnail is Al Capone’s former cell at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, PA.
I'm from New Orleans, I'm 57 years old now, why have I never seen or experienced no hocus pocus ??
Born and raised in New Orleans - I don't believe in ghosts and haunted places, but I guess it is good for tourism.
