From Jackson Square to the Casket Girls' Convent After Dark
An 8:30 PM French Quarter walk that pairs ghost stories with voodoo, pirates and the Casket Girls vampire legend.
New Orleans Ghost Adventures sells separate voodoo, ghost and pub-crawl walks. This combo puts a slice of each on one route, starting across Decatur Street from Jackson Square, with a bar stop along the way.
Walks leave nightly at 8:30 PM, and the card below books a seat on the shared group walk.

The listing pitches this as ghost stories told at French Quarter properties, each checked against historical research, and says plainly that it is not about theatrics. Travelers mostly read it that way. One wrote in May 2026 that the guide did a great job distinguishing historical facts from rumors, legends, and folklore.
A family of four the same spring had hoped for more scary stories and found the walk more factual. Book it for the history under the legends; the travelers who came for scares were the ones left wanting. The mix also shifts with the guide. One 2026 traveler said theirs warned at the start that the walk runs a bit differently with each guide.
LaLaurie, the Ursulines and a Bar Stop
The listing's route passes the LaLaurie Mansion on Royal Street for a photo, St. Louis Cathedral, and the Old Ursuline Convent, where the guide covers the Casket Girls and New Orleans vampire folklore. Two stops come with time on the clock: five minutes in Pirates Alley and five at Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar on Bourbon Street, the stop for buying a drink. Travelers describe it as the mid-walk break, a chance to rest your feet and grab a drink.
Voodoo Authentica on Dumaine Street is on the route too, though the listing notes it will be closed at that hour and suggests coming back by day. Read the stops as the usual route. The listing says routes may change for parades, festivals, construction or any other reason, and two travelers wrote that their guides skipped stops they expected, the LaLaurie Mansion among them.
A Crowd on Narrow Sidewalks
This is a big-group walk. Travelers who counted put theirs at about 20 to 25 people, and one wrote in 2026 that several groups of 20 to 30 were working the same few streets at once, sometimes telling a story a block away from the house. Stand near the guide: several travelers in 2025 and 2026 said they struggled to hear.
The listing ticks wheelchair and stroller access, yet in the same list warns that French Quarter streets can be hard going for people with mobility issues, and it recommends against the walk for anyone with poor cardiovascular health. A 2024 traveler noted the guide calling out where to watch your step, since the sidewalks are uneven.
Kids, Weather and the 24-Hour Line
The operator calls the walk suitable for all ages. On this booking the child ticket covers ages 5 and under, and everyone 6 and up books at the adult rate. How it lands with children depends on the night: a 2026 family with nine-year-olds said the guide kept the content age appropriate, while parents of a 15- and 17-year-old that year found the content fine for them but would not bring kids much younger.
The listing is not set to cancel for bad weather, and travelers have finished the walk in downpours with no ponchos handed out, so bring your own rain gear. Summer nights run hot, and one September 2026 group walked through record heat. Cancel at least 24 hours before departure for a full refund; inside 24 hours, nothing comes back. As of October 21, 2026, the calendar shows the 8:30 PM walk running on Halloween night, a Saturday, like any other night.
📍 Meet at Bon's New Orleans Street Food, 620 Decatur Street, next door to Landry's Seafood at the corner of Decatur and St. Peter, across the street from Jackson Square. The operator's booking system asks guests to arrive 30 minutes before the 8:30 PM start to check in.
The posted schedule runs 8:30 to 10:00 PM, though the listing's own description calls it a two-hour walk and several travelers said theirs ran close to two hours, so keep the rest of the evening loose. Drinks at the bar stop, tips and parking are on you, and travelers disagree on whether there is a restroom chance along the way, so use one before you go. Get there by 8:00 PM and you will be waiting across Decatur from Jackson Square as the group gathers.
