Oh, guess what guys! I'm a Tour Guide! I get to tell Ghost Stories to visitors in the French Quarter for a couple hours a night. And I get PAID for it! And on occassion, I get free drinks too! But that's not the point
( Read more... )
Well, the story of the ghost that inhabits "The Bottom of the Tea Cup" is the type of thing I (and probably they too) mostly expected from the Ghost Tour (and I've done 'em all, most of the NOLA ones twice). I mean, come on, the LaLaurie Mansion story is really horrific by anyone's standards. It still gives me the heebee jeebies because, of course, it isn't death or ghostliness that's scary-it's what those poor souls went through when they were alive that makes it so scary.
They freaked out over the mention of RIGOR MORTIS!!!!!!!! I would have taken your side if they hadn't been squeemish over that. I mean, C'MON!
I'm going to tell people in my introduction something like this: "If you are expecting the happy singing ghosts that hold your hand while skipping down the lane, Dinsey is about 660 miles THAT way! For those of you who can't tell the difference between Disney and New Orleans, I invite you to take another stroll down Bourbon Street."
I remember feeling very eerie walking past that house on our tour. It felt horrible! What I didn't like was our guide pointing out "That's where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie rent!" I was all "umm.. who cares?"
I'd really love to go see Myrtle's Plantation at some point. YOU SHOULD GO! TAPS has proclaimed it haunted, and they don't do that often :)
By the way, the code to make links to the Carnival sites is This is irritating me 'cause it's not showing up right. I'll try to email it.
I've never heard the "Box of Fluffy White Kittens Ghost Story" before, why don't you tell me how that goes
Now now, dear, you have to be careful of those fluffy white kittens. You don't know where they've been. Seriously, have you ever seen The Emperor's New Groove?... There's a scene near the end when the villainess accidentally transfigures herself into a fluffy white kitten. She's adorable. And horrifying.
