New Orleans, Louisiana · Hotel
Hauntpedia records a girl in old-fashioned clothing who asks after her grandmother before disappearing, and an older man who silently nods at guests. Children’s laughter and footsteps are also reported. Its school-fire origin story is explicitly flagged by the source as a legend without an established death record.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana · Other
A self-described Pleasant Hall employee posted an account of a door opening in an empty room, movement heard in an unoccupied office and fleeting shadow-like shapes near a doorway. The writer knew the building’s older ghost reputation but explicitly acknowledged that ordinary explanations could account for the experiences. Firsthand community report; author identity unverified. Conflicting violent-origin legends and a supposed name are not adopted.
Natchitoches, Louisiana · Other
Haunted Nation records staff hearing disembodied voices and customers being asked whether they need assistance, only to discover no employee nearby. Objects reportedly move in the shop, and mist has been described on the rear spiral staircase. The account identifies the building through its former Plantation Treasures Gift Shop tenant.
Natchitoches, Louisiana · Historic house
The Natchitoches Parish Journal reported that Service League members shared the house’s ghost stories during a 2019 fundraiser. Their account mentioned investigations across several nights, unexplained activity interpreted as spirits and an elusive figure named Lilith. The newspaper reported the event without claiming that Lilith appeared that evening.
New Iberia, Louisiana · Historic house
Haunted Nation recounts visitors’ reports of Mary Moore’s shadow-like apparition and footsteps. During its own investigation, the team reported steps in an empty attic, a cough with no visible source, and a cold spot in the room associated with Moore’s death. The account ends with unexplained sounds resembling period music.
Shreveport, Louisiana · Theater
Louisiana tourism describes Sarge, a presence said to touch visitors’ hair, and a girl seen running on the arena floor. Other accounts involve doors moving and figures appearing in otherwise empty seats.
New Orleans, Louisiana · Other
New Orleans tourism recounts sightings of Père Dagobert walking the cathedral aisles with his head bowed. The priest’s apparition belongs to the building’s ghost tradition alongside its continuing role as a place of worship.
New Orleans, Louisiana · Cemetery
Behind the walls of New Orleans' oldest surviving cemetery, above-ground tombs hold generations of city history. Its best-known spiritual story follows Marie Laveau, the celebrated Voodoo practitioner whose reputed tomb became a place of pilgrimage and wishes. Visitors today must enter on an authorized guided tour.
New Orleans, Louisiana · Cemetery
Very Local recounts a robed figure believed by some to be the cemetery’s founding priest, seen on the paths or within the chapel.

New Orleans, Louisiana · Other
Tulane’s La Revue newsletter repeats accounts of a woman in white mourning her husband and a former mortician appearing in the basement. These alleged encounters are distinct from the staged seasonal scares now presented inside the former funeral home on Canal Street.
St. Francisville, Louisiana · Historic house
The Myrtles is a working guesthouse and historic plantation whose best-known ghost legend features a figure named Chloe in a green head covering.
Lafayette, Louisiana · Hotel
US Ghost Adventures associates this inn with Amélie Comeaux and accounts of an unattended piano playing, footsteps, knocking and misplaced objects. An apparition wearing a rose-colored dress was reportedly seen in the attic. Guests also describe the sensation of being tucked into bed, followed by playful tugging at their toes. The source explicitly challenges the often-retold suicide-in-a-well tale. Do not repeat that legend as historical fact.
