highest honor bestowed by the International Society for Paranormal
Research, ranking as the most haunted city in the United States. While
many of the most frightful activities in the Big Easy take place
year-round, October is the perfect time to visit haunted establishments
like the French Quarter’s Lanaux Mansion, Le Pavillon Hotel, Muriel’s
Jackson Square and Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre, where patrons often
see the ghost of a woman floating across the stage. Visit the tomb of the
Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, Marie Laveau, or her shop on Bourbon Street,

history, serving as a grave to many lost souls who dove from the Golden
