Haunted New Orleans Cemetery Cities of the Dead Tour
St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is the oldest and most famous. It was opened in 1789, replacing the city's older St. Peter Cemetery (no longer in existence) as the main burial ground when the city was redesigned after a fire in 1788.
It is 8 blocks from the Mississippi River, on the north side of Basin Street, one block beyond the inland border of the French Quarter. It borders the Iberville housing project. It has been in continuous use since its foundation. The nonprofit group Save Our Cemeteries and commercial businesses offer tours for a fee.
Famous New Orleanians buried in St. Louis No. 1 include Etienne de Boré, wealthy pioneer of the sugar industry and the first mayor of New Orleans; Homer Plessy, the plaintiff from the landmark 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision on civil rights; and Ernest N. Dutch Morial, the first African-American mayor of New Orleans.
The renowned Voodoo priestess Marie Laveau is believed to be interred in the Glapion family crypt. Other notable New Orleanians here include Bernard de Marigny, the French-Creole playboy who brought the game of craps to the United States; Barthelemy Lafon, the architect and surveyor who allegedly became one of Jean Lafitte's pirates; and Paul Morphy, one of the earliest world champions of chess. Delphine LaLaurie is also believed to lay in rest here. Architect and engineer Benjamin Latrobe was buried there after dying from yellow fever in 1820 while doing engineering for the New Orleans water works. In 2010, actor Nicolas Cage purchased a pyramid shaped tomb to be his future final resting place.
The cemetery spans just one square block but is the resting place of many thousands. A Protestant section (generally not vaulted) lies in the north-west section.

Lafayette Cemetery in New Orleans
Today I visited Lafayette Cemetery in the Garden District of New Orleans. This place has some very old tombs, plus it's one of the most used cemeteries in New Orleans for film and television! It's been used for productions such as, 'Double Jeopardy', 'NCIS: New Orleans', and even the New Kids on the Block music video for 'You Got It (The Right Stuff)'.

New Orleans - St. Louis Cemetery No 1. Photo Trek
Enjoy a journey through the extraordinarily and eerily beautiful St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. Founded in 1789, it was the first of New Orleans' famous above ground cities of the dead. There are several interesting photos in the album. The photo of the pyramid is Nicholas Cages' nine foot high crypt, which is at his disposal when needed. The white tomb you will see (there are two photos) is of the famous Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau's final resting place. Her tomb is marked with a series of three X's from individuals who have come to her tomb to beseech her for help. There is a photo of an old tomb, also marked with a series of X's. Is this the final resting place of another, though less well known, Voodoo priest or priestess? Just click on the video to be transported to New Orleans' first above ground city of the dead.

Touring The Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 In The Historic Garden District Of New Orleans A NOLA Must-See.
Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of New Orleans. Its' crypts and graves tell the story of Old, as well as present-day, New Orleans, starting in 1833 and continuing on until now, as it is still an active burial site. An interesting aspect of Lafayette Cemetery is that the inscriptions on the grave sites often will tell how the people died. We read of deaths from Yellow Fever, cholera, drowning, and the Civil War. It's also known as the Most-filmed cemetery in New Orleans, having been featured in several movies and TV shows. Among those are the movie, Double Jeopardy, and the TV shows, NCIS: New Orleans, and, The Originals. It has also been featured in a book by author Anne Rice, Interview With The Vampire. The cemetery is undergoing constant repairs to the tombs, conducted for the most part by the local, Save Our Cemetaries, organization. This is a very big undertaking, so as you walk around, don't be surprised if you see some tombs/crypts in different stages of disrepair. The Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 may not be something that everyone will want to see, but we found it a very interesting, historical, and sobering experience.

EVP Caught in St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 - New Orleans, LA
I found my old phone and I believe I caught an Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) on my old Sony Ericsson phone one time my friends and I went to have a stroll at the St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 in New Orleans. We were passing by Marie Laveau's Mothers Grave and caught something weird sounding. It was not on a normal wave length. I heard it over and over and checked to see if it was one of my friends or me or something and there was no explanation. You guys just have to check it out. --ps. that place is most definitely haunted by the way so many weird things happened that weren't recorded.

St Louis Cemetery No 2, New Orleans, Louisiana - October 2019 (Part One)
Exploring the historic, St. Louis No. 2 Cemetery, mid-October, 2019. The cemetery is spread across three blocks, alongside I-10 in the Tremé Neighborhood. I finally got a stick to hold the camera (no more thumbs over the lens!), but I was having issues with the mic. There's quite a bit of noise as a result of being below a heavily-traveled interstate, but hopefully the video is still enjoyable. I decided to break-up my visit over 3 videos, because I recorded almost an hour of footage on this visit.
If you are planning to visit St. Louis No. 2, I'd recommend doing so with a friend or a group. The cemetery is well-maintained, and this area of New Orleans has underwent gentrification in the past decade, but I would recommend caution if planning to visit. The cemetery is surrounded by high walls; the crypts are tall and tightly packed; and there's not a lot of activity from surrounding properties - so stay observant about your surroundings, and if something feels unsafe, listen to that instinct. If you'd like to tour the cemetery with a group and learn some priceless history, I recommend, Tour New Orleans -
St. Louis No 2 is often referred to as, The Jazz Musicians Cemetery due to the number of the city's finest jazz/blues musicians that have my this cemetery their final resting place. This is likely due to the fact that throughout New Orleans' Jazz History, many musicians chose to live in the Tremé Neighborhood. Some of the notable performers interred include: George Creole Guesnon, a banjo player that performed with Jelly Roll Morton and as a member of Celestin's Tuxedo Orchestra; Ernie K-Doe, an infamous R & B Singer who had a hit with the single, Mother-In-Law; Earl King, an R & B singer and songwriter whose prolific career was filled with his own hits, and those he wrote for others; and Danny Barker who is as essential to the longevity of jazz in New Orleans as is any musician to have called New Orleans home. Having worked with everyone from Cab Calloway to Charlie Parker, Daniel Moses Barker is the embodiment of the city he called home.
This cemetery is also home to some of the city's earliest mayors, and two of the state's earliest governors, Jacque Phillippe Villere and Arnaud Jules Beauvais. In fact, the sheer amount of French names throughout the cemetery is a testimony to New Orleans's heritage and where some of the city's oldest traditions has its roots. Additionally, St. Louis No. 2 is reputedly the final resting place of Marie Laveau III, daughter of the infamous Voodoo Priestess of New Orleans, and to pirate, Dominque You, whom, along with his half-brothers and pirates Jean and Pierre Lafitte, helped defend New Orleans from British invasion on 8 January, 1815. The inscription on his tomb is in French but translates into, Intrepid warrior on land and sea. In a hundred combats showed his valor. This new Bayard without reproach or fear could have witnessed the ending of the world without trembling.
Finally, as if the cemetery needed any further historical significance to warrant a visit, it's lore was expanded upon thanks to horror-punk band, The Misfits. Following a performance in October 1982, the band with several fans entered St. Louis No. 2 in search of Marie Laveau's tomb in the early hours of the morning. Residents that lived in surrounding buildings notified police and members of the band along with their fans were charged with criminal trespass. The Misfits spent a night in lock up and then skipped town. The story grew into tales of grave-robbing and necrophilia over the years, but those who were arrested have since set the record straight:
Along with an amazing history, storied residents - some of the city's finest architecture, bas reliefs, iron work, and society tombs are all contained in these three blocks that make up St. Louis Cemetery No. 2. It is perhaps the most beautiful and significant cemeteries in New Orleans, and I highly recommend adding it to your agenda. If you are visiting the city and only have a small window to see the above-ground cemeteries, this should be on your list, and then take the street car line to the end of Canal and hit the cemetery district.
