New Orleans is considered the No. 1 haunted city in the USA — the dead people outnumber the living 10 to 1. The city has the highest missing persons rate and a steep murder rate.

When Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne claimed New Orleans, the Native Americans told him the area was used as their burial ground, and any city placed atop of it would be cursed.

The city has since experienced its fair share of diseases, fires and hurricanes.

With tales of vampires and voodoo queens, the city has become a drawcard for the curious and macabre.

We are travelling to New Orleans this October and are staying right in the French Quarter. One of the oldest buildings standing in that part of the city is the old Ursuline Convent building, and as much as the nuns of the order were focused on the spiritual wellbeing of the people something, very weird caught the attention of the city dwellers back in the 1700’s, that was so terrifying that no one dared venture out at night for fear of death.

Myth?

Legend?

Truth?

Whatever - we all love a great vampire story and this one comes from the home of vampires in the USA - New Orleans itself.
