A must for anyone who comes to visit New Orleans and wants to learn all the deep dark secrets the city is hiding. This walking tour provides guests with the cold hard truth behind New Orleans’ "Dark Side" past and present.

New Orleans has a very rich history, countless unsolved mysteries including both documented unsolved murders and suicides, and it also has some powerful paranormal activity lurking the old dilapidated streets of the French Quarter. That is probably why it is referred to as the most haunted city in the United States.

This tour is full of tales based on local legends handed down over the decades and also recent paranormal investigations, our professional storytellers will regale you with stories that will send a chill down your spine.

A city founded by Saints and Sinners.... well mostly sinners: pirates, prostitutes, murderers not to mention largely influenced and ran by the mob over the years is sure to provide us with enough M**der and Mayhem to keep us busy for awhile during our Darkness exploration of the French Quarter.

A real EMF Meter - Ghost/Paranormal Detector will be used during this tour.
