New Orleans’ French Quarter is a labyrinth of cobblestone streets, wrought-iron balconies, and centuries-old buildings steeped in history and legend. At 1024 Chartres St, the New Orleans Paranormal Society offers an immersive Ghost Hunt Experience that flips traditional ghost tours on their head. Instead of just hearing tales of the supernatural, you become an active investigator armed with cutting-edge paranormal technology. This hands-on adventure invites you into two notoriously haunted locations where expert guides help you wield gear including SLS Cameras, spirit boxes, and thermal imagers—tools used by professionals on private cases around New Orleans.
The French Quarter’s unique blend of Creole architecture and lingering history provides a dense atmosphere for detecting unexplained phenomena. Participants step into the boots of paranormal investigators, trying to capture audio, photo, or video evidence themselves in small groups capped at 13.

These locations vary regularly but often include spots tied to infamous local figures and events—from eerie residences connected to legendary voodoo queens to sites with somber pasts.

Their equipment lineup is among the most advanced available, mirroring top paranormal TV investigations, and their guides draw on a wealth of local knowledge and experience with over 1,500 hunts conducted. This is more than an overnight thrill—it's a methodical, engaging dive into one of America’s most paranormal-rich cities.
