This was a really fun experience! I learned a lot about the ghost hunting equipment we were using and about some of the history around New Orleans. Going into the haunted locations and having a spirit box session with the tour group was really interesting as well. I was really satisfied with my choice to book this experience! Can’t wait for my trip back to NOLA

Best Ghost Hunt EVER

Jamie_S, Apr 2026
I’ve been on several ghost hunts throughout the country and this one by far was the best! Jen taught us so much!

Fun with spirits

Jen_S, Apr 2026
Our guide Jen was awesome! We used a lot of different devices to communicate with spirits in a fun, respectful way. It was clear Jen loves what she does and has extensive knowledge in her field and of New Orleans history. I can’t recommend this tour enough!

Absolutely loved it

Britney_M, Mar 2026
Definitely not fake! If you’re looking for a ghost experience, this is the place to go. The tour guides are amazing as well.

Excellent experience

Amazing adventure!

Melissa_H, Feb 2026
Chris is very knowledgeable about the subject, had great insight about the history of where we were going and what we could possibly experience. Great personality and genuinely cares for those who signed up. Make sure you venture in with an open mind. If you scare easily this is not the adventure for you. My wife and I look forward to doing this again when we visit New Orleans again!

Not a Tour, an Experience

Brandi_B, Jan 2026
If you have any interest in the paranormal, whether believer or skeptic, do not pass up this opportunity! Our Tour Guide, Chris, is very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. That being said, he has a keen ability to balance teaching and enjoyment. We had a fairly large group and he took extra time to make sure everyone participated in each experience in a way they were comfortable, while gaging what the group would most enjoy together. He explained the instruments, then encouraged hands on use while explaining if any results were a false positive or a legitimate reading. After the events of the night unfolded I’m able to say there were multiple encounters by several in attendance, of varying degrees, with the use of the high quality devices. Whenever I’m in this area again, this experience will be at the top of my list! Thank-you, Chris, for the exceptional evening!

Sadly not a good trip....

sylviaz168, Dec 2025
Sadly not a good trip. Felt very gimmicky and boring. They take you to a hotel courtyard where you're just standing around feeding mosquitoes. Then we mostly just sat in hotel rooms for hours listening to static sounds on our own, which eventually gave me a major headache for the night. I suppose it satisfied my curiosity which I am no longer curious about after the tour, but I can't recommend this experience

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Sorry the experience did not meet your expectations. Obviously we can not control the level of activity on each tour. Some people are unable to use the "static sound" device (spirit box) and that is certainly out of our control as well. One does wonder why it took you over 2 months to leave this feedback.......

Fun evening!

Great time!

Dawn_T, Nov 2025
Chris was so much fun! We had a great time and had some great encounters! Thanks for the amazing evening!

We loved this Paranoral experience!

Virginia_B, Oct 2025
We collectively as a family loved this experience. Jen was so knowledgeable and patient with everyone. She has all the neat paranormal gadgets and is quick to debunk any false craziness. We are so glad we chose this tour over all of the others. We would definitely recommend this hands on paranormal experience to anyone!

Real paranormal

Jesus_v, Oct 2025
100% paranormal, nothing like it ,book it you won't regret it .The guide was great ,knowledgeable knew what he was doing.

Highly recommend

Marie_R, Oct 2025
My family loved the tour! Chris was amazing… we got to utilize some great equipment. We all highly recommend this tour.

Great experience

shivani_a, Oct 2025
As it was a very intriguing and a great tour, Chris is a really good to a guide. I would highly recommend this store to anyone who is coming to Nola and who is into horror. Stuff..

Became a firm believer

Rita_W, Oct 2025
This is not your average ghost hunt! Our guide is very passionate and experienced with paranormal activity. He came with state of the art equipment and explained how each worked. Everyone in our group had a chance to “talk” with the spirits. We went to two different sites and both were active the night we were there. The more you participate the better you will have an experience. Whether you are a believer in paranormal activity this tour is very eye opening. I highly recommend it for anyone.

Unforgettable First Ghost Hunt with Chris!

Keyana_P, Oct 2025
I had an amazing first ghost hunting experience with the Paranormal Activity Tour in NOLA! Our guide, Chris, was absolutely incredible—he took the time to educate us on the different tools and techniques, while still giving everyone space to have their own unique experience. His storytelling was captivating, blending history and intrigue in a way that made the night unforgettable. I truly appreciated how respectful and engaging he was throughout the tour. Highly recommend this experience, especially with Chris as your guide!

Amazing time

Kerri_R, Sep 2025
We had an amazing time in our ghost hunt! Learned a lot and got to use all the equipment! So much history here in New Orleans.

A must experience!

Leonaka_S, Sep 2025
This was an amazing tour. Chris, our tour guide was phenomenal. This tour far exceeded my expectations get validated the thought of activity in a different dimension. I most highly recommend this tour!

Ghost Hunting Fun with Cathy

Ashley_B, Aug 2025
Cathy made the Ghost Hunter Experience a blast, mixing spooky history with cool paranormal gear. She kept things fun and the family engaged. By the end, I was half convinced something followed my son-in-law home.

Really cool ghost hunt. Good ghost activity.

Oliver_L, Jul 2025
That it was awesome. Really fun, lots of cool stuff happened. Very entertaining and eye opening. Great guides.

Give Chris a Raise!

Sarah_E, Jul 2025
We did this experience with two teenage girls, our host was Chris, and he was so engaging, they raved about it. We had so much fun learning about the history of the places we went and the equipment we used. 10/10 would recommend.

Not only did I get the...

Megan_M, Jul 2025
Not only did I get the chance to interact with spirits and learn the tools used and why, but also got some great history I would have never known.

Best Tour Experience: Get Actual Hands-on Experience not a Lecture

Shannon_M, May 2025
Excellent experience, my daughter and I enjoyed it so much. The guide, Jen, was amazing and so knowledgeable. We have been on several tours in NOLA but this by far was most interactive and even better than we expected. Thank you for providing us with the chance to learn about and utilize your equipment, I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an actual hands on experience. Will totally do again next time we are in New Orleans.

If you do one thing in New Orleans this is it.

Joshua_B, May 2025
I have been all over the world and this is the best tour that I have ever been on. Our guide explained all of the equipment and how it worked before we began our experience. We then went to the Andrew Jackson hotel where we observed at least three different spirits by using sls cameras. Some of the spirits were more active depending on who was left in the room and what questions were being asked. One of the participants who entered the room was told to leave and get out using the spirit boxes while you could physically watch some of the people being checked out by the spirits. We had some non believers turned into believers. After we concluded at the hotel we left to check out about property. This was an old bar and ballroom. We were actually able to play the card game Blackjack with the spirits. They would tell you if they wanted to hit or stay and even tell you what you had before ever flipping your card over. In another section of the room two chairs were sat out and some 1920s jazz music was played through Spotify. As soon as the music started two figures appeared and started playing instruments. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it myself. I know this is only our groups experience and this may not happen every time but I wish there was room on the tour tonight so we could see what else we could experience. Whenever we make it back to New Orleans this will be the tour we go on.

Chris is an amazing...

RobbieLyn_L, May 2025
Chris is an amazing hunter! This was our second time with him and we love him. Tons of activity and a great hunt!

Ghost hunting

Jennifer_G, May 2025
What a night! We were able to ghost hunt during a lightning storm outside. It just provided the mood. Second location was a little quiet inside but was still a neat experience.

Authentic Experience

Faye_W, Apr 2025
It was so good and so interactive with the equipment. Had a sign a passed loved one was with me keeping me safe which was so comforting.

Fun Experience

Benjamin_S, Apr 2025
Overall fun experience. While I would have preferred a little smaller of a group, it was still well run and engaging.
