Join Kristin and Jen as we crack open a road soda and visit New Orleans for a second time. This time we head to the Bourbon New Orleans Hotel, right down the street from Madame LaLaurie’s house. The Bourbon New Orleans Hotel offers beautiful rooms, a cool bar, and a saltwater pool, which Jen will never swim in.

We talk about the construction of the theater and ballroom (where Jen caught a ghost on camera!), the infamous quadroon balls, and how every creepy place had to have once been a convent and/or a girl’s school. There are over 20 known ghosts in the hotel, and we talk about them as well as the difference between residual and intelligent hauntings.
