Haunted New Orleans

Long a city of mystery and voodoo, New Orleans is also home to some of the creepiest places in the United States. Among the most interesting is St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, which contains the crypt of voodoo queen Marie Laveau. A tall, attractive mulatto woman born in Haiti, Laveau became famous during the 1830s when she started working as a fortune teller for the well-to-do women of New Orleans. Her talents with voodoo came to light soon after, and rumor had it she could make people's enemies die (using voodoo alone) for $1,000. Her death in 1881 was shrouded in mystery, and today lucky (or unlucky) visitors to her crypt sometimes report seeing dancing nude ghosts led by a tall woman with a snake coiled around her body.
