It's no secret that New Orleans is one of the most spooky and haunted places in Louisiana. But have you visited all of the most haunted places in New Orleans? The majority of them can be found in the French Quarter, where the ghoulish ambience pervades each and every foggy night. Here are the most spooky spots throughout New Orleans!
1) Dueling Oak, City Park, New Orleans
Previously two live oak in what was once a secluded place in the city, the dueling oaks was the place where men went to settle their differences by duel. Some people met their deaths here, including Micajah Green Lewis, C.C. Claiborne's private secretary. You can still feel the energies of conflict and death visiting here.
2) Le Pavillon Hotel, 833 Poydras St.
This luxury hotel in the CBD is an amazing place to spend a weekend in New Orleans. But many have reported hauntings and ghost sightings here, including spirits laughing in halls, being seen lingering in the hotel bar, and many more.
3) Sultan’s Palace aka The Gardette-LaPrete House, 1240 Burgundy St.
This unique mansion in the French Quarter became infamous because of the foreign Turkish owner who moved in during the late 19th century. This Turkish foreigner moved in with an entire entourage--and that entire entourage met their untimely death in the mansion. Rumor says that the Turkish man was actually a relative of the Sultan in Turkey, and was escaping his death in New Orleans. Eventually his past caught up with him, though, and he is said to have been buried alive here.
