New Orleans and ghosts have a history together. It’s not uncommon to walk into a bar, hotel, or a restaurant that doesn’t lay claim to a resident spirit or two that lurks around. Do you think you could stay the night in a room that’s haunted by a ghost? If so, then you’re in luck, because we’ve got just the spot.
The Garden District is a beautiful neighborhood in New Orleans filled with historic mansions nestled underneath canopies of ancient oaks.
One of those mansions is the Parks-Bowen Mansion, a stunning three-story architectural masterpiece that offers rooms for rent.
From the moment you walk in, you’ll be dazzled by the beauty of this place.
From the music room to the formal dining room, this more than 130-year-old house is a quintessential New Orleans home.
As you go up the staircase, you might begin to feel like someone is watching you.
There are three rooms available for rent at this southern mansion, and one of them is known as the "haunted bedroom."
The bedroom is said to be haunted by the spirit of the young girl from the 1890s, who is believed to have been one of the daughters of the original owners of the home. She has black hair and wears a yellow dress.
A peaceful spirit, she is sometimes seen walking the grounds at night, softly humming lullabies and walking with a slight limp. She has a tendency to hide pairs of eyeglasses so you might want to keep an eye on yours so they don’t go missing.
