Anything missing?  

Well besides VooDoo Tours & Fortune Tellers. Last time we were in town we found a pay as you go tour with a fabulous travel guide who showed us all haunted sites and did an amazing job explaining the history of VooDoo. I’m very interested in finding another one. It was the best ghost tour we have ever taken in any city. But isn’t New Orleans the most haunted city after all?
