St. Louis Cemetary No. 1 (Louisiana)
If you or anyone in your life are fans of the occult, then you will love this next stop on our list. Not only is it an impressive cemetery by itself, but this cemetery in Louisiana is actually the eternal home of the most famous voodoo practitioner, Marie Laveau.
Despite earning her living as a hairdresser, what she became famous for was the fact that she practiced magic. People went to her to get their fortune told or to buy charms that would help them with their ailments.
It has become a common legend that she had the power of saving prisoners from execution as well. Despite not being able to confirm any of these claims, it is believed that she had been buried in St. Louis Cemetary No. 1, in her family’s tomb.
Even if you aren’t a fan of the occult, it is still a cool place to visit and learn about the history of the people who once walked the streets of New Orleans. Just make sure you do not visit at night, there are people who try to communicate with Marie Laveau.
