Even its graves sit above ground as tombs, creating a sort of "city of the dead," and New Orleans' oldest cemetery, established in 1789, has been the site of paranormal activity for nearly its entire existence over 200-plus years. The most famous ghost encountered on the grounds of St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 belongs to Marie Laveau. Better known as the Voodoo Queen, she has been the subject of reported sightings not only in the cemetery, but also throughout the French Quarter. Legend has it that people still visit her tomb and ask for guidance, and she can sometimes be heard from beyond the grave.
