But there is more to Haunted New Orleans best most haunted Cemetery then just the supernatural locale. It's an experience you will never forget!" 3421 Esplanade Ave., New Orleans, LA 70119-2902
The burials are in above ground vaults; most were constructed in the 18th century and 19th century. The above-ground tombs, required here because the ground water levels make burial impractical in New Orleans, are strongly reminiscent of the tombs of Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris. The three cemeteries are relatively intact following Hurricane Katrina, although all experienced some flooding.
Still many others believe that Marie's spirit rises on St. John's EVE, June 23rd, and holds court over a spectacular Voodoo Ritual held on Bayou st. John each year by Voodoo high Priestess Sallie Ann Glassman officiates and baptizes the faithful into the religion each year
