4.French Quarter Supernatural Ghost Hunt: Full Paranormal Lockdown

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 45 reviews · 2 hours 35 minutes (approx.) · from $99

Join an initiated Voodoo priest or priestess, such as guide Gina, for a 2-hour-35-minute evening mix of French Quarter lore and hands-on ghost hunting. Visit Marie Laveau’s former courtyard, then investigate Bloody Mary’s 200-year-old museum with EMF meters, dowsing rods, spirit devices, and a small group.

“We had high hopes for this tour, but it fell short. The walking tour portion was more power walking than it was hearing any haunted history. The paranormal part was thrown at you without any explanation of what you were doing or what different readings meant. Save your money.”
