2007 # OF INVESTIGATORS=2 WEATHER= SUNNY TO CLOUDY 85-92F
MOON PHASE=NEW TO WAXING CRESCENT MOON
AH, NEW ORLEANS. IT'S STILL THERE, AND GOING STRONG. WE NOTICED A FEW PLACES THAT HAVE CLOSED UP AFTER KATRINA. SOME STORES HAVE LESS STOCK THAN USUAL. STATE TROOPERS HELP PATROL BOURBON STREET AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE POLICE FORCE IS NOT BACK TO 100% YET. OTHER THAN THAT IT'S THE SAME WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL PLACE THAT IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN. GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT MUSIC & GREAT FOOD! THE RELIGION OF VOODOO IS STILL ALIVE & WELL IN THE CITY, AND IT'S A BEST PLACE TO LEARN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN STUDYING THIS. PRACTITIONERS ARE HAPPY TO SPEAK TO ANYONE WHO HAS GENUINE INTEREST IN THE SUBJECT. STILL HAUNTED TOO BY THE WAY, THOUGH WE SENSED A LOT LESS ACTIVITY, AND CAPTURED NONE AT ALL. KATRINA TOOK HER TOLL ON THE SPIRIT WORLD AS WELL AS THE LIVING WORLD I GUESS. PERHAPS NEXT YEAR IT WILL BE BACK TO NORMAL-PARANORMALLY SPEAKING. HERE ARE A FEW PHOTOS OF SOME OF THE HAUNTED SPOTS, AND OTHER FAMOUS PLACES WHICH HOLD POTENTIAL FOR THE FUTURE...
(CLICK THE IMAGES FOR LARGER VIEWS)
 A SHOP SELLING "BABY CLOTHES" |
 THE CAFE DU MONDE, WHERE REPAIRS ARE STILL IN PROGRESS AFTER KATRINA. |
 THE CORNSTALK HOTEL AND THE FENCE IT IS NAMED AFTER. NOTICE THE KEYHOLE IN THE GATE LOCK IS UPSIDE DOWN. THIS WAS DONE ON PURPOSE BY THE ORIGINAL OWNERS TO CONFUSE ANY EVIL SPIRITS THAT MAY HAVE TRIED TO ENTER THE PROPERTY. |

 A DRAWING ON THE SIDEWALK OUTSIDE ESOTERICA-AND OCCULT & VOODOO SUPPLY STORE ON DUMAINE STREET. (SEE LINK AT BOTTOM OF PAGE) |
 LAFITTE'S BLACKSMITH SHOP-REPUTED TO BE THE OLDEST CONTINUALLY OPERATING BAR IN THE U.S.A. PERHAPS THAT HAS CHANGED AFTER KATRINA. IT IS HAUNTED BY THE GHOST OF JEAN LAFITTE, A PIRATE IN THE 1700'S WHO USED THE BUILDING AS HIS HANGOUT WHILE IN NEW ORLEANS. |
 THE TOMB OF MARIE LAVEAU IN ST. LOUIS #1 CEMETERY. THIS CEMETERY FLOODED BADLY DURING & AFTER KATRINA, BUT MARIE'S TOMB REMAINS INTACT. PRACTITIONERS STILL DO SERVICE TO MARIE, AS CAN BE SEEN BY THE OFFERINGS LEFT BEHIND. |
 THERE ARE AT LEAST 2 BARS IN NOLA NAMED AFTER MARIE LAVEAU. THIS ONE IS ON DECATUR STREET, AND HAS SEVERAL PAINTINGS HANGING ON THE WALLS TO HONOR THE FAMOUS VOODOO QUEEN. THE BARS ARE ALL SIMPLY CALLED MARIE LAVEAU'S. |
 THIS IS MURIEL'S, A RESTAURANT OFF JACKSON SQUARE. IT HAS THE REPUTATION OF BEING HAUNTED, AND THERE IS EVEN A SPECIAL TABLE INA PRIVATE ROOM SET UP FOR THE GHOSTS. THE 2 PHOTOS AT THE RIGHT ARE THE ONLY PARANORMAL SHOTS WE GOT DURING A 5 DAY STAY IN NOLA. THEY ARE THE SAME SHOT-WITH THE ONE AT FAR RIGHT CROPPED & PUT INTO GREY SCALE TO SHOW THE ANOMALY BETTER. I WAS SIMPLY TAKING RANDOM PHOTOS OF THE INSIDE OF THE BAR AREA. IT LOOKS LIKE PERHAPS THIS MAN HAS A FACE FACING BOTH DIRECTIONS (HIS ON THE FRONT, AND ANOTHER ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD) |

 SIGNS OF KATRINA WERE EVERYWHERE... |
