If you know the history of this house, it's worth it to walk by. If you don't, it just looks like the rest of the buildings in the french quarter. You can walk right up to it any time though. I felt a weird presence just being near the house knowing what happened there.

The tours will take you here and the story is interesting but the building is a private home now so you have to stand outside and listen to the stories about the place, it would be cool if you could inside...

We took a ghost tour while in New Orleans. Our guide told the story of this mansion. I took several pictures and got several orbs in the shots.

Regardless, our tour guide...

I just didn't understand what the hype was. We went looking for the house and it looked like all the other houses on the street. It didn't seem creepy unless you knew the story behind it.
