People Don’t Want To Believe The Creepy Stories About This New Orleans Hotel Are True

By all accounts, it's also haunted.

One of the most often-reported ghosts seen here is that of a young child believed to be Maurice Beger. His family was staying in the hotel in the late 1800s, when Maurice contracted a fever and died suddenly. His mother returned to the hotel many times, hoping to reconnect with her child. One year, as she sat in the room where he died, he came to her and said, "Mommy, don't cry. I'm fine." Guests in that same room have also reported seeing Maurice.

Of course, the 14th floor is really the 13th. Many hotels avoid naming their 13th floor as such because it's thought to be bad luck. On the 14th floor of the Monteleone, guests have reported seeing apparitions, and hearing odd noises and footsteps.

If you mistakenly get off and walk down the corridor, you might see a couple of children playing. They vanish as you approach, leaving you shaken and confused to find your way back to the elevator.

Red is seen throughout the hotel. Perhaps he doesn't know that he's dead, and he's continuing to do his job? In the hotel restaurant, a door opens and closes by itself every evening...though it's locked.
