So here's my contribution of todays hauntings.....

http://www.hauntedtravels.com/louisiana_ghosts.htm


The Bourbon Orleans Hotel, New Orleans
Several spirits still stay on at this hotel on Bourbon St. in New Orleans. In the 1800s the Quadroon Ball was held there, where young African American/Creole women made their social debuts. The story goes that a young woman and a gentleman met at one of the balls here and fell in love. He went off to fight in the Civil War and never returned and she committed suicide. A few times a year a couple from that era are seen separately in the large ballroom area, apparently searching for each other. Another ghost is said to be that of a gambler who lost his house in a poker game in one of the parlors there used for card games. Upon handing over the deed he shot and killed himself. From 1881 to 1963 the building was a convent. The nuns in the convent took in many orphans, some of whom died there of yellow fever. A nun has been seen, children’s voices are heard, and sometimes children’s faces are seen in the windows of the upper floors. Crying comes from one room, and water faucets will turn on by themselves. Oh, and be sure to look up as well as around when you enter – chandeliers in the hotel sometimes swing for no reason. The hotel has 211 guest rooms including suites. They have a restaurant, bar and pool onsite and offer a “Haunted History Tour” nightly that leaves from the lobby. 717 Orleans St., New Orleans LA 504.523.2222

I had that happen multiple times when I stayed there, plus other very odd things.

My next haunting will be this real castle!



Here's a really cool picture of it, but it's huge

Who is the person hanging out of the window on the forth floor? Is that a ghost?

Yes, SpydeeMan, that's a ghost, it's either Sam the Bellhop, the burning bride, or well actually I sent Morty to do some Canadian haunting...
