See Scary Sights like Huguenot Cemetery
On the Ghosts & Gravestones tour, you will pass by some of the scariest and most sacred sites, including the Huguenot Cemetery, the final resting place of the victims of yellow fever... or was it final? Some visitors to the burial grounds have reported seeing eerie apparitions and translucent orbs floating about.
If you keep a watchful eye while passing the City Gates, you might catch a glimpse of Elizabeth, a child victim of yellow fever, waving to passersby.
You will also pass the Tolomoto Cemetery. Who’s playing games in the cemetery when the sun goes down? Is it the spirit of five-year-old James jumping from branch to branch in the trees, or is it the Ghost Bride, still waiting for her walk down the aisle?
Hear About the Old Drug Store and Enter Potter's Wax Museum

Unexplained noises, cold spots and shadows reportedly moving on their own makeup only a few of the hundreds of documented supernatural occurrences.
