Haunted History Tours – French Quarter Hotels

I have to admit, I’ve got a thing for ghosts. While the rest of the country is watching America’s Funniest Home Videos, I’m watching Ghost Hunters on Sci-Fi.

I especially like ghost and haunted history tours. For one thing, they’re fun and usually family-friendly, but more importantly, they offer a one-of-a-kind perspective on the city or town they explore. Just think about it: the overblown tourist traps of most cities are so rote, so produced, so canned that you can hardly in good conscience call them attractions. More like work, if you ask me.

On the other hand, a spooky nighttime ghost tour is a sneak peak into the soul of a place. Sometimes it’s the haunting stories of past residents, sometimes it’s just the way the otherwise normal buildings seem to churn with menace in the nighttime glow. Either way, ghost tours are a great opportunity to experience a city, and high quality ghost tours are becoming more and more prominent, so I thought I’d take this moment to share a favorite: the New Orleans Haunted History Tours.

Declared the “#1 Tour in New Orleans” by the Travel Channel and featured on countless others, the Haunted History Tours Company is the leading authority on ghosts, vampires, voodoo and all the other creepy comings and goings of The Big Easy. Their daytime tours are full of academic goodness, but if you can only choose the one, wait for the official French Quarter Ghost Tour, departing twice nightly.

And don’t forget your camera!

Two exciting hotel options for you in the French Quarter:

A candidate for hauntings itself, the Chateau LeMoyne is a historic New Orleans hotel with architecture dating back to 1847.

Among French Quarter hotels, we also like the Holiday Inn New Orleans – French Quarter for its inexpensive accommodations and standard Holiday Inn perks.

Get hunting, travel fans!
