The tour begins on Bourbon Street where humid air and neon signs press close; a guide checks a small group and the city seems to lean in to listen. As you step off the sidewalk and into shadowed alleys, the chatter thins and stories take over — love turned violent, unexplained deaths, and the occasional EMF meter clicking like a second heartbeat.
