The Secret Ghosts of New Orleans

Little Known Ghosts of the Crescent City

My Ghosts

I am currently residing in the Marigny, a neighborhood just to the downriver side of the French Quarter. I can walk out of my door and be in the French Quarter in a matter of minutes. It is a great location to live when you own a company that does ghost tours in the French Quarter. It is also one of the most haunted places I have ever lived. On any given night, I might be awoken by something being thrown into my bed, I might run into one of the shadow people who roam my halls, or sometimes I even hear my name being whispered into my ear when nobody else is around. The ghosts who live in my house are not terribly bothersome. Sometimes it is apparent that they are seeking my attention with their noises, phantom footsteps and by moving things around. Sometimes I may go a week or more without hearing from them. But they are always here, I have no doubt. While my house is on no ghost tour route, it easily could be. The stories I could tell from my own experiences, in this house, are enough to send chills down anybody's spine. It would also be a great location for anyone wanting to do a ghost hunt. Trust me, I know. There are thousands of other houses in New Orleans just like mine. Haunted, but hidden safe away from prying eyes. Unless you talked to the residents of the house, or the people who work at the business, you'd never know that the building you're in, the house you're driving by could be one of the most haunted buildings in New Orleans.
