The One Spine-Tingling Tour In Louisiana That’s Only For The Brave
New Orleans tends to get the reputation for being the most haunted city in Louisiana, but today we are headed to northern Louisiana where there’s a tour company that’s giving a spine-tingling tour of the most haunted areas in Shreveport. Are you a believer?
The tours last approximately three hours and you’ll tour several haunted areas in the city and learn the history behind the attractions. Even if you’re not a believer, the historical aspect of the tour is truly fascinating.
Oakland Cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Shreveport, with the first noted burials dating back to 1842, though it is suspected that there are older, unmarked graves on the grounds. Those that find themselves in the cemetery often report seeing strange balls of light and feelings of being watched.
Built in 1897, this Victorian-inspired mansion is reportedly haunted by an 11-year-old girl named Theodora Hunt, who lept out of a window in 1904 and some have reported seeing her ghost in the house. Objects move seemingly on their own, and doors open and close without explanation.
Built in 1916 by Mrs. Ella Hunt Montgomery, the current owners of the house have noticed several odd occurrences throughout the house. Not only have they heard voices, but they also hear footsteps and tapping throughout the house, who they believe to be the spirit of Mary Montgomery David.
Other stops along the tour include the Caddo Parish Courthouse, the Spring Street Historical Museum, the Calanthean Temple, the Ogilvie-Weiner Mansion, and a few others.
Tours are $60 per person and include trolley transportation, guided tours of the locations, and refreshments and/or light buffet dinner. Check out the Historic Haunts of Shreveport website to find out about the next available tour.
