The Ghostly Tales of New Orleans

by Laura Roach Dragon

Overview

Welcome to the spooky streets of New Orleans!

Stay alert! Ghosts lurk around every corner. Even the most unexpected places might be haunted by wandering phantoms.

Did you know that New Orleans cemeteries are built above ground? Or that thousands of visitors each year come to see what ghosts and spirits may appear in these beautiful Cities of the Dead? Can you believe that the ghost of Marie Laveau--the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans--was once seen dancing on a tomb, with a snake wrapped around her?

Pulled right from history, these ghostly tales will change the way you see the Big Easy, and have you sleeping with the light on!
