The Ghosts of New Orleans' Underground Cemeteries

If New Orleans is known for one thing (aside from Bourbon Street and Mardi Gras, of course), it's for our cemeteries, and only a city like New Orleans would proudly boast the moniker "Cities of the Dead." Thousands of tourists and locals alike go on cemetery tours in New Orleans every year, where the main attraction is St. Louis Cemetery, No. 1, the final resting place of the voodoo queen herself, [Marie Laveau](https://ghostcitytours.com/new-orleans/marie-laveau/). But, that's just the Space Mountain of this Disney World of cemeteries. New Orleans is home to many underground cemeteries that are defunct, forgotten or lost altogether, and you never know when you may hear the wailing moans, or spot apparitions of those who are destined to haunt their grounds for eternity. Those who dare to explore any haunted cemeteries, would be best advised to heed Marie Laveau's warnings. > "Although one is pure of thoughts and in heart, searches for the gates of the truly dead. You never know when the November winds blow, if the cursed gates are searching for you too." > "If you enter the gates backwards you might have a small chance, to flee with your life all intact. But if your motives are untrue then the living death calls your name, then there is nothing you can do." – Marie Laveau Here are New Orleans' Top Underground/Lost Haunted Cemeteries
