Last year I wrote about five popular real haunted places that also have top Halloween haunted houses.  I got to thinking about it the other day when I was reading a copy of Woman’s World magazine. In their Getaway section they had a “Get Scared, America!” article that listed eightContinue Reading

One of the most interesting things my ancestors showed me on their ghost tour of New Orleans was the cleaning of Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau’s tomb. I spotted the volunteers setting up and receiving instructions when we first entered St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, but I thought they were relativesContinue Reading

I took a ghost tour when we were in New Orleans. But I didn’t book a reservation with any of the tour companies. My dead ancestors guided me around. You see, with my heart of hearts I believe that when I went looking for the ghosts of my ancestors in New Orleans,Continue Reading

Do you ever feel like kicking yourself? I just had one of those moments. If you read about my jaunt to Saint Louis Cemetery No. 1 in New Orleans you may recall I said we ended up there on accident. There I was in one of the most haunted places in the U.S.Continue Reading
