Itinerary

Meet your guide at Tracey's Original Irish Channel Bar — In front of Tracey's Original Irish Channel Bar, 2604 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA.

  1. 1

    Buckner Mansion

    Discover the Buckner Mansion, a grand 1856 New Orleans home with a haunting past. Converted into a school and then a private residence, the mansion played Miss Robicheaux's Academy for Extraordinary Girls in American Horror Story, and is said to be haunted by the ghost of a former slave overseer. Visitors have reported eerie encounters in her old bedroom, with chandeliers swaying and doors opening and closing on their own. But the hauntings don't stop there...

  2. 2

    Young Mortuary Service

    Former funeral homes turned into houses are often hotspots of paranormal activity and this gorgeous multi-million dollar mansion is no exception!

  3. 3

    Deanies

    During Hurricane Katrina, Vera Smith was tragically killed by a drunk driver while walking in the night. Her body lay in the street for days while authorities ignored her. But her spirit remained, and locals made a makeshift grave on the vacant property where she passed away.

  4. 4

    Tracey's Original Irish Channel Bar

    Meet Emmet Flaherty, the Irish immigrant who loves to regale the customers at Tracy's about his hard work on New Orleans' Basin Canal while knocking down a pint. The only problem? He's been dead for a hundred years.
