The Beauregard - Keyes House

Location:

Can be found across from the Convent of Ursula in the French Quarter.

Address: 1113 Charles Street, New Orleans, Louisiana.

History:

This grand mansion, built in 1812, is a strong candidate for being the most haunted house in New Orleans. A General Pierre Gustave Toutant de Beauregard lived in this house until 1869. General Beauregard was the commanding officer of the southern troops at the bloody battle at Shiloh.

* At 2:00 in the morning, on foggy, moonlit nights, General Beauregard and his troops materialize out of the wood paneled walls along the hallway near the ballroom. The living are treated to the clattering footsteps of his entire phantom troops. All the soldier apparitions and the General appear in full Confederate dress uniform, and then slowly turn bloody and tattered, as if they are revisiting their bloody battle.

* Also, an apparition fiddler player and dancing entities have their own dance party in the ballroom, complete with fiddle music, perhaps reenacting a happier time.

Lafitte Guest House

The smaller, the creepier. Lafitte Guest House is a 14-room Civil War-era mansion gives each guest the experience of owning a private villa in the heart of the French Quarter. Just don’t be surprised when the ghosts don’t obey that privacy. Young “Marie”, who allegedly died of yellow fever in Room 21 the mid-1800s, is popularly thought to roam the halls, flipping light switches as she goes. Meanwhile, her distraught mother can still be heard crying from time to time.
