Take a guided tour of Louisiana's haunted history as you visit spirited hotels, homes, cemeteries, and bus stops. Shiver at paranormal tales told in New Orleans, such as the Devil Baby of Bourbon Street, who was so ugly that people were afraid to be near it; Violette, the Zombie Child, brought back to life using Voodoo by unknowing parents; and Madame Delphine LaLaurie, whose mean demeanor sent a servant to an untimely death. Explore other state haunts including plantation homes, colleges, prisons, and historic landmarks. Meet Marie Laveau, the Voodoo queen whose spirit still walks among the tombstones at Saint Louis Cemetery Number One. Follow the Honey Island Swamp Monster, a carnivorous, 400-pound aquatic-humanoid, the red-eyed Loup Graou creature, Grunches, and lizard-goats that will make you think twice before going into the swamps alone. Louisiana haunts await you, if you're brave enough to wander in... AUTHOR: Born and raised in the New Orleans area, Tracie began reading Tarot and communing with spirits at an early age. Growing up, her best friends were books, animals, and ghosts.
