Unlocking Mysteries: Essential Spirit Empire FAQ

Listen, there are enough ghost tours in NOLA to fill up a graveyard. When picking yours, it's less about the company and more about the guide. We can't vouch for anyone else, but our tour is led by an accredited doctor of clinical psychology, lifelong NOLA resident, certified parapsychologist and demonologist, and masterful tale spinner. Plus, Dr. Edward has seen some ^$#@ in his day, trust us. Not feeling our haunt by the end? Money back, no problem, boo. We want you leaving freaked, not fleeced—our ghastly guarantee.

You will meet your guide at 916 North Peters Street, New Orleans, LA 70016, 30 minutes prior to your departure time. Our gathering point is tucked away in Dutch Ally, so don’t fret if you don’t spot us at first. Look for a sign, and your host should be waiting at the foot of a set of steps in front of the address.

Fo' sho'! Our phantasmic friends work for tips to haunt and taunt. They'll take you on a 90+ minute spine-tingling tour through the thrilling, complex history of the Big Easy. Bring some dead presidents to thank them accordingly, ya heard?

NOLA is steamy and stormy, so dress cool and light. But bring a light jacket in case the weather gets worse. Comfy kicks are key for all that walking.

We feel ya, but a little rain never slowed this city down! Only if things get truly dangerous (flooding, tornadoes, etc) will we cancel. Check your email before arriving in case of issues. Safety first with specters!

Sorry, late creepers can't join once we leave the curb. But we gotchu - rebook for just $5 a head and we'll see you on the next haunt!

As if! You seen the movies - that never goes well. Historic NOLA is protected and people actually live in these creepy abodes. We can ghost peep from outside, but don't need paranormal trespassing charges!

It's definitely freaky with some unsettling history, but nah no fake ghosts or ghouls jumping out. The French Quarter itself is scarier than our tour! We focus on real haunts - no staged scares here.

Like a little ghost yourself! We'll give you a bat phone number to reconnect with your phantom guide and group posthaste.

Absolutely, let the spirits move you! But behave yourself - rowdy drunk mortals will get exorcised quickly. Just don't ruin it for others. We'll stop midway so you can refill your poison.

Plenty of hidden haunts in the Quarter if you gotta go! We stop halfway for a pitstop so you can drain your mortal liquids if need be.

We welcome all lost souls! Hit us up beforehand if you need any accommodations. But be warned - NOLA streets are as uneven as the veil between worlds. Bring an aide who can assist if needed. E-scooters are recommended for serious mobility issues!

Oh, you sweet, spooky nerd! Every day is Halloween in New Orleans, so dress to distress however you like!
