Hauntings of the Hotel Monteleone
Many people who come to
Hotel Monteleone don’t want to leave. Some never do. Hotel
Monteleone is known for being a haunted New Orleans hotel, and is
one of the premier haunted hotels in North America. Generations of
hotel guests and staff have regularly experienced haunted events
that would cause even the staunchest skeptic to take pause. This
haunted New Orleans hotel has an elevator that stops on the wrong
floor, leading a curious couple down a hallway that grows chilly and
reveals the ghostly images of children playing. The International
Society of Paranormal Research spent several days at the Hotel
Monteleone. While at the hotel, the team made contact with more than
a dozen earthbound entities including several former employees, a
man named William Wildemere who died inside the hotel of natural
causes, and a boy who was much older when he died but enjoys
returning.

The Bourbon Orleans Hotel
The Bourbon Orleans Hotel is located behind St. Louis
Cathedral in the heart of New Orleans' historic French
Quarter. The Orleans Ballroom, one of New Orleans' oldest
and grandest ballrooms has seen countless carnival balls and
social events dating back to the 19th century. The famous
Orleans Ballroom, home to the grandest social events of the
nineteenth century, is also home of a lonely ghost dancer,
seen dancing underneath the ballroom's crystal chandelier.
Several reports have been made of the rustling and a person
hiding behind the draperies in the ballroom, without a
window open or person actually there.

Ghosts of the Hotel
Maison de Ville in New Orleans
The Maison de Ville is a three-story structure rebuilt by Jean
Baptiste Lilie Sarpy in 1783, in what was at the time the center of
the city. Among the early residents of the home was the apothecary
Antoine Amede Peychaud, who was to play a prominent role in New
Orleans’ cultural history. Long before today’s Hand Grenade or the
last generation’s Hurricane, there was New Orleans’ first signature
cocktail … the Sazerac. Peychaud developed this libation with a
concoction of bitters and brands, measured in a “coquetier,” or
eggcup. The beverage has become legendary, and to this day is still
made with Peychaud’s Bitters. His ghost continues to make drinks for
guests. Another ghost is a country music-loving soldier ghost.
Dressed in military uniform, the man first appeared to a hotel
employee twenty years ago. Reportedly, he changes the radio station
to a country music channel and turns up the volume.

Hauntings of the Hotel Provincial
The Hotel Provincial sits on land that was a
grant from King Louis XV. In 1718, Jean-Baptiste Le
Moyne de Bienville claimed the area as the original
"La Nouvelle-Orléans.” After passing through
different hands, a military hospital was constructed
in 1722. It’s said the ghosts of soldiers still
haunt the buildings. Guests have reported seeing
wounded soldiers crying out in pain only to
disappear when they turn on the lights or
bloodstains that mysteriously appear on the bed
covers only to be gone when one looks again. Guests
also report sightings of a young female ghost seen
in the Hotel Provincial thought to be someone who
cared for the ill in the hospital.
