New Orleans: Home to Real Vampires?
New Orleans is allegedly home to at least 50 real vampires, according to local legend.
The city and state of Louisiana have a reputation for haunted legends and supernatural creatures, including swamp monsters, ghosts, voodoo, and vampires.
Vampire lore in New Orleans dates back to the 1700s, with one famous story being The Casket Girls of the French Quarter.
Locals claimed that the "caskets" of French girls, known as les filles à la cassette, contained no clothes, only vampires they brought from Europe.
This legend has contributed to the city's reputation for being a hub of paranormal activity, not just during Halloween, but year-round.
