“Kendall was excited to share his experiences. We were a little disappointed there were only two cemeteries, but both were interesting. The nearly full moon made the tour more eerie. The people on our tour who were drinking alcohol probably enjoyed the tour much more than I did!”

Investigate two haunted French Quarter buildings with real paranormal gear, expert guides, and three hours of hands-on ghost hunting.

“It exceeded our expectations, and I’m not even sure what we expected. It was fun and exciting and funny and scary…and I’m hooked! Our guide was a true professional and storyteller, able to keep it exciting and engaging from start to finish…he drew us all in…from young to old. As promised, we learned about so much of the equipment and even got to handle it ourselves at the different locations. Our guide woke up an inner ghost hunter where I don’t think many of us even knew existed! It was awesome! I left feeling as if I learned so much about New Orleans history and wanted more!”

A playful 90-minute New Orleans ghost hunt for children, with ghost gear, French Quarter stories, snacks, and stops at Jackson Square.

“We had such a great experience on the French Quarter Ghost Tour with Jill! She was absolutely wonderful—attentive, patient, and full of personality. We brought our two kids along, and Jill went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and included the entire time. When my daughter wasn’t feeling her best, Jill didn’t hesitate to offer her an ice pack and kept a kind eye on the kids throughout the tour.

Review the New Orleans Paranormal Investigation, with French Quarter stories, EMF equipment, walking details, costs, and booking advice.

“I booked this tour to do with my parents while we were here on vacation and we arrived at the designated meeting spot 15 minutes early and stayed an extra hour PAST the meeting time thinking maybe our tour guide was just running late. No tour happened! We reached out to the phone number they gave us on our booking confirmation to see if maybe it was cancelled or if something came up. We did not receive any calls/texts/or emails about a cancellation so we were very confused. We’ve all tried reaching out to the tour guide for a refund and they don’t answer our calls or messages! Total rip…”
