Alright, y’all, I see this question pop up all the time, so I’m putting my ghost-guided stamp on it. For context: I’m a professional ghost tour guide, cemetery nerd, vampire cosplayer, and yes—my wife and I got married on All Saints’ Day for a reason. By no means a gatekeeper, just a passionate enthusiast! Here’s my list, in no particular order:
Step inside some of the interiors featured in American Horror Story: Coven and AMC’s Interview with a Vampire. During October, they host a special exhibit called Creole Death and Mourning, laying out the house as a funeral for James Gallier Sr. It’s eerie, elegant, and an incredible history lesson.

If you want true cemetery cred, Sally Asher is your guru. Her lecture History and Traditions of All Saints’ Day in New Orleans is $10, pure gold. Learn the customs, the lore, and walk away smarter than most ghosts.

Vampire vibes with a gourmet twist. Upstairs, the event space blends gothic lore with an enchanting lounge atmosphere. Perfect for a darkly romantic evening—or just for flexing your inner vampire aesthetic.
Do not settle for drunken bus tours. Seriously. For real paranormal respect, check out Jay & Geoff from New Orleans Ghost Adventures. Exclusive nighttime access to Odd Fellows Rest cemetery. It’s powerful, immersive, and done with reverence.
St. Louis No. 1: Tight 45-minute tour with church-approved scripts. Classic and clean.
St. Louis No. 3 with DeAnna Dupont: A more immersive, personal experience led by a local tomb-owner with 300 years of family history. Reverence meets storytelling.

Bonus: Take a driving tour of Lake Lawn Metairie Cemetery with me! Secret societies, haunting statues, legendary hauntings—plus a “you drive” or VIP black car option.
Yes, tonsil guillotines are a thing here. More seriously: explore local medical history from the first U.S. pharmacist onward. Multistory museum with a unique, eerie charm.
Visit the museum
A must. There are countless options, so pick your vibe:
Want cocktails? Go pub crawl style.
Obsessed with true crime? There’s a tour for that.
Want history, lore, and spooky mystery? Go ghost.
I offer both public tours (New Orleans Ghost Adventures) and private VIP experiences, including black car service via NOLA VIP Services.
