Welcome to our weekly feature ✨#HauntedHotSpot✨, where we take a deeper look at some of the most famous (and famously terrifying) sites in the world. ⁠ ⁠ This week’s pick: St. Louis Cemetery No. 1⁠ ⁠ St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, established in New Orleans in 1789, is Louisiana's oldest and most haunted. More than 100,000 souls are buried here, and that adds up to more than 300 bodies per square foot — which means everywhere you step, you’re disturbing the dead.⁠ ⁠ Visitors often encounter the ghost of Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen of the 1800s. Be respectful if you encounter her; she's said to pinch and shove non-believers. Ghosts from yellow fever epidemics and brutal Civil War battles may also stalk the grounds.⁠ ⁠ Virtually visit this iconic haunt at the #linkinbio. ⁠ ⁠ Use #HauntedHotSpot to tag us in a location you’d like us to dig into.⁠ ⁠ #discoveryplus #neworleans #nola #louisiana #visitneworleans #visitnola #graveyard #tomb
