ApparitionsDisembodied ScreamsUnexplained SoundsPhantom Gunfire

The operator recounts reported sightings of tormented souls and the executioner Louis Congo near the Andrew Jackson statue at Jackson Square. At the Beauregard-Keyes House, the operator describes General Beauregard reportedly hearing gunfire and cannon fire after moving in, followed by apparitions of soldiers, and frames later resident Frances Parkinson Keyes as having 'joined' the general's haunting after her death. The LaLaurie Mansion material centers on the documented 1834 case of Madame Delphine LaLaurie, whose treatment of enslaved people in the home was exposed after a fire, with the operator describing reports of disembodied screams and other phenomena in the centuries since. The French Opera House stop carries the operator's 'Witch of the Opera House' legend tied to a performer named Marguerite, following the building's 1919 fire.

All of this is the tour operator's own marketing material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim. The LaLaurie Mansion and Jackson Square material involves real documented violence against enslaved and executed people and is presented here as the operator's own historical framing, without invented embellishment beyond what the operator states.
