Located on the banks of the Mississippi river, New Orleans is famous for many things such as jazz music, Creole and Cajun cuisine, and a rich cultural heritage that blends African, Native American, Spanish, Caribbean, and French ancestry.

Nicknamed “The Big Easy”, New Orleans conjures up images of Mardi Gras parades with their colourful purple, green, and gold bead necklaces, and bands walking the streets playing to roaring crowds… But the joyful, celebratory side of New Orleans has an equally dark, sombre, and much more frightening side…

This is Haunted UK Abroad, and today we visit the Southern state of Louisianna in the U.S. and, specifically, the – by all accounts very haunted – city of New Orleans.

Please don’t forget, we are part of an exciting new study – you can get involved too! The Haunted UK Podcast has teamed up with Northumbria University who are interested in sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is when people wake up and are unable to move and often see vivid experiences. We would particularly like to hear from people who are over eighteen years old and have paranormal experiences during sleep paralysis.

We are proud to be a part of this fantastic study, and we'd love for all of you listeners to get involved if you've had any experience with sleep paralysis ... no matter how small. Let’s find some answers!
