It’s this cemetery which is said to be haunted, haunted by the ghost of Marie Laveau. New Orleans has 3 separate cemeteries by this name. To make up for the lack of brutal jokes here are ten haunted places in New Orleans. I’ve been attempting to write a joke about the area also being haunted by the legacy of Hurricane Katrina, but they all end up just sounding harsh, rather than funny. As you’d expect there are countless locations within the old city which are said to be haunted by terrifying forces. New Orleans is known for voodoo and the various myths surrounding that culture.
But some legends and tales from local lore are much darker than the story of a woman who illegally sold barrels full of marshmallows. My personal favorite is the tale of the outlaw J Villa, a noble criminal some would say, but others would call her an insane cattle rustler. Louisiana is home to many unique legends.
