If anyone read my bio, they would know that I’m an Army brat, but claim Louisiana as home. I love Louisiana. It’s a place of rich culture, sensual people, enticing food, and an underlying mysticism that draws you to it. And if you’re looking for the perfect place to celebrate Halloween, then New Orleans is your stop.
New Orleans has a special kind of love for the paranormal and otherworldly. On a normal day, you can take a ghost tour, visit a psychic, or check out a voodoo shop. But Halloween brings a special kind of supernatural craziness to NOLA. Some of the must sees during Halloween are:
· Krewe of Halloween Parade
· The Voodoo Music Experience
· The Vampire Ball
· Stay at a Haunted Hotel
· Visit the The LaLaurie house
· Cemetery and Voodoo Tour
· Myrtles Plantation
With so many spooky creepy activities, how can any paranormal lover not want to be in New Orleans? So, if you have the chance to visit my home state, I hope you jump at the chance. If you’re a brave soul, then try out some of the undead activities. I will admit that I stay away from many of them, because other than in my books and imagination, I tend to leave the otherworldly folks along. Don’t get a chance to hang out in the Big Easy, then pick up one of my stories.
Giving away a copy of Soul Catcher with a download in Nook as well!

I think you are so right Louisiana has such a rich paranormal history. From the haunted graveyards to the deep seeded voodoo practices. But I don't mess with that stuff. I will read it but I steer clear of the real thing.

I would love to go to New Orleans some day, but I also want to visit some of the old plantations of Louisiana.

I love your post. I have lived in Louisiana for forty years!! I love it. In fact my granddaughter is at the Voodoo Music Festival this weekend. As you say, there is always something to do. Margay the old plantations are elegant. My younger granddaughte who is 12 wants to go the Myrtles and spend the night for her birthday in February. Her 13th birthday.

You have quite a list for any tourist to be thrilled with aside from the spooky things to do. Would love to visit New Orleans some day.
I would love to visit New Orleans! From the food to the music, it constantly feels like one big party. It's so exotic and the stories add to the mystery of the city. I wish my town was even half as exciting.
