- WE ARE GOING ON A GHOST TOUR OF NEW ORLEANS!! SO TOTES HAUNTED #nola #ghosts #haunted #boo<\/li>\n
- “I hate haunted houses!” “Me too!” “Why are we going on a ghost tour?” “I like real ghosts.” “I don’t like to be touched by surprise.”<\/li>\n
- “‘Touched by surprise’ sounds like a 90s pop song.” “I hope it’s the new Justin Bieber song.” #touchedbysurprise<\/li>\n
- GHOST TOURISM! http:\/\/yfrog.com\/kiwqlbj<\/a> HISTORICAL VAMPIRE TOURISM? http:\/\/yfrog.com\/kg10ukj<\/a> #nola #haunted<\/li>\n
- Our Ghost Tour guide: “This is parapsychology, not science. You can’t put a ghost in a petrie dish. I look forward to the day we can.”<\/li>\n
- Guide: “We’ll see a multi-million $ haunted house.” Me: “IS IT NICOLAS CAGE’S HOUSE?!” Guide: “… yeah.” #haunted #yessss<\/li>\n
- Also everyone besides me & my friends quit the tour already. Or got ghosted?! We think it’s the guide’s first day. #stillawesome<\/li>\n
- Me: “Do you know where Live & Let Die was filmed?” Guide: “Yeah, we already passed it.” Me: >:( #worstghosttourguide<\/li>\n
- Sam: Is this everyone? Guide: Yeah, everyone else left the tour. Me: They couldn’t take it when shit got REAL.<\/li>\n
- Ghost Tour guide (plaintively): “I wish I were better at telling ghost stories.” #ustoo<\/li>\n
- Guide: “I think the reason people don’t see many ghosts here even though it’s so haunted is it’s crowded & our electromagnetic fields….”<\/li>\n
- “… tend to interact with ghosts and repel them.” #ghostscience<\/li>\n
- “I’m thirsty. I’m going to die & haunt a water cooler.” “Ghosts can’t interact w\/ water. They’re noncorporeal.” “I’m so glad you said that.”<\/li>\n
- YESSS FINALLY, NIC CAGE’S OLD HOUSE. IT HAS A TRULY EFFED UP HAUNTING STORY ATTACHED TO IT. http:\/\/yfrog.com\/h3elkxhlj<\/a> [You can read about this house and its horrifying story from someone else<\/a>.]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- The tour guide’s friend, inexplicably dressed like a Newsie, has joined us on the rest of the ghost tour.<\/li>\n
- OH DUH the guide’s friend is a ghost. That explains his Newsies costume.<\/li>\n
- “Would that guy be offended if I asked him if he was a Newsie?” “Just ask if you can buy a pape.” #newsieghost<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/a>I didn't really mean to take a pic of the Newsie (far left, obviously) but I'm so glad I did.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n - \n
- Guide: “Now that this tour is over, I’ll confess that this is the first time I’ve given a solo tour.” #obvi #wecouldtell<\/li>\n
- I forgot one key piece of info: halfway through the tour our guide started smoking a corncob pipe. #wtf<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/a>We survived the Ghost Tour. Barely.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Honestly, I had an awesome time on the tour, which is no doubt partially thanks to the enormous Hurricane I drank during the tour. But also I was with a group of people who had a good sense of humor about how ridiculous the tour was. Oh, goodness. Anyway, so, I guess I would probably recommend taking the New Orleans Haunted History tour, because even if you don’t see any ghosts or receive a fully-trained tour guide, you can still have a really enjoyable evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
