New Orleans Historic District
Widely recognized as one of North America's most haunted urban sectors, the New Orleans Historic District—anchored by the historic French Quarter and Faubourg Marigny—is a vibrant cultural center deeply intertwined with three centuries of catastrophic fires, yellow fever epidemics, pirate lore, Voodoo tradition, and tragic colonial conflicts. Built atop marshy riverbanks where human remains were frequently re-interred due to high water tables, the district hosts thousands of reported paranormal encounters every year across its historic courtyards, cobblestone alleyways, historic taverns, and iron-balconied townhouses.
