Sleep with the Spirits
New Orleans' haunted bed and breakfasts offer more than just a place to rest your head - they provide intimate encounters with the supernatural. These historic properties, many dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, have accumulated generations of ghostly residents who continue to make their presence known to overnight guests. Unlike large hotels where paranormal activity might go unnoticed, B&Bs offer a more personal paranormal experience. You might share breakfast with a spectral guest, hear footsteps in the hallway from residents long deceased, or find your belongings mysteriously rearranged. The innkeepers at these establishments have learned to coexist with their supernatural residents, often sharing spine-tingling stories over morning coffee. Each property has its unique history and resident spirits - from Civil War soldiers to yellow fever victims, from jilted lovers to protective former owners who never left. These ghosts aren't just stories; they're active participants in the daily life of these charming inns.
