I dont know what it is but cemeterys have always fascinated me. Here in scotland you have graves 600+ years old and the cemeterys are kept in great condition. In the summer we walk around them and its interesting to see who is buried there and what their live must of been like, I will spend hours looking at them. Its always quiet and peaceful and full of history, Espescially the ones in Edinburgh where you can see great big tombs of famous historic people such as the "Greyfriars Kirkyard" in Edinburgh.

Dean, you're not alone! Here in Savannah, GA we have a cemetery named Bonaventure. It's not as old the cemeteries in the old world, however it is one of the most beautiful on earth! I spend hours reading all their stories and thinking about all the people in there wishing I could see just a glimpse of what all their lives were like. What they looked like, how they talked, what they thought, etc.

I'm glad you are enjoying NOLA when its not Mardi Gras. So much to see and do. We used to visit the graveyards and wander around for hours back before they required folks be in a tour. Have some interesting pics and memories. One time I left a tube of lipstick for Marie. I did not, however, win the lottery. Still, I hope she enjoyed the lipstick.

My grandmother was buried in number 4 not too long ago. My great-grandmother bought the tomb in 1911. The tomb right next to my grandmother's tomb was bought in 1843 I belive. It is such a beautiful cemetery. Please visit number 4. I think it is really interesting!

Vandals ruined it for the people who wanted to come in without being in a tour group.

New Orleans is amazing. Glad to see you enjoying this great place.

Great tour. The tour director is a hoot 🙂

That cemetery is something else! Thanks Jacob for this tour👍

Just came across this- I hope Cathy is still doing the tours, I would love to have her as a guide.

As soon as I clicked on this I got American Horror Story vibes😂😂

Love that woman`s voice.

I want to see this cemetery and hear the guide talk about the history of the graves. I love old cemeteries

This tour guide knows her stuff. I always worry the guides at SL#1 might be slinging anti-voodoo or anti-Marie propaganda. She is 100% on point.

Should go check out The Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville. It is around the Baton Rouge area.

I live here . thank you for covering us

Wow so awesome. Tour guide was so cool. I would love to visit someday and go on her tour❤

Went to New Orleans last year and absolutely loved it!We did this tour and man do they hate Nicolas Cage down there,not that I blame them!

Wow 😮 you actually got one of the golden girls to give a tour 🤣

Interesting, I know all the graves are above ground because of the high water table, but I didn't realise that the bottom half of the crypt was a bone depository.

I absolutely love historic cemeteries. Excellent video!

Omg that was my tour guide this past February! Very informative woman.

Ion know why I feel like I’m watching American Horror Story Coven 😂

Fascinating tour, Jacob. I was there decades ago and wish that I had known the history of that cemetery then. I was green behind the ears and so very, very young. Thanks!

Cathy is not from New York or New Jersey. Believe it or not New Orleanians that live in the city have that dialect which is affectionately called 'Yat' (as in the common greeting Where y'at?) and it does sound very northeastern. I think that since New Orleans has always been a major seaport is why the accent became prevalent. My wife is from NO and had no idea what I was watching on the KZreads and immediately identified it when she walked into the room. Don't worry accents 'southern up' more the further you get away from the greater metro area.

I went on the cemetery tour in December 2015 and the tour guide told us that we could take pics but no video. I’m surprised they let you video tape

Awesome I've always wanted to visit this cemetery

Hey Jacob great video love from NC.

I love looking round cemeteries

Great video! I really enjoyed watching it!

I love this tour guide!!❤

Kathy deserves 10 dollars Thumbs up!

The St. Peters street cemetery is actually the oldest cemetery in New Orleans. The French quarter is built on top of it

Awww wow!! You did a vid here!! This is cool.

So wierd to see! I toured the same cemetery with my parents as a kid (just months before hurricane Katrina) and that was a time where they still allowed people to make the red X's for Marie Laveau. I had no idea they had stopped that and repainted it.

Last time I went to New Orleans in 2000 my brother and I took this tour. It was very fascinating!

Thanks for sharing

Good job Grampa and I were there years ago

I went on this tour with the French Quarter Phantoms company and I learned so much, not just about the graves but the history of the city. How the Catholic church influenced it's development, how the Spanish and French influenced it's culture. Awesome.

Great video. Creepy cemetery though.

Thank you for the video interesting and a little bit scary

Very interesting cemetery

Hi Carpetbagger, I have donated money to your pateron site there’s no need to sent postcards as it would be very expensive to send to Australia, take care all the best . Cheers Gary

Good stuff

Good job very interesting

super cool!

I did that same tour a few years ago.

Whenever I hear Marie Laveau I just think of the Volbeat song

Wow I want to go see it

My tour guide told me not to film lol. Got some great pics though

A New cemetery in Belgrade - Serbia is so beautiful and in a well condition, if I can say so. We take care about our graves and our familyes and we pray for them!

Marie Catherine Laveau is in St Louis Cemetery # 2, her daughter is in St Louis Cemetery # 1. Thank you for the video.

another man done gone 🎶

I love my city of New Orleans

In 1994 or 95, my husband and I were wandering St. Louis 1. This is before the guards and restrictions. We love old cemeteries and there's so much to love in the ones in New Orleans. We were looking at the graves and turned the corner to another aisle and we saw someone bold out of the lane. Once we were in there, we found a full-blown voodoo altar set up on the step of one of the graves. We knew better than to touch anything and to be reverent to whomever this guy had called. There were candles, coins, a big bottle of rum, half filled, and a cigar that was lit. We just excused ourselves to which ever Loa the worshiper had been celebrating and then went our way. It was weird. In 2013 I wrote a novel that has a few scenes in St. Louis 1 and I have that incident in it, with a few creative changes. We've wanted to go back to visit since Katrina but haven't been able to go. Good and informative video, thanks!

The last one you showed looks like Marie's crypt not the one the guide showed unless they built a newer one and moved her which might be true since her daughter and other family wanted to be buried with her. It would be interesting to find out it that's the case. She was Boquor (spelling is probably wrong). Like you said, Voodoo Priestess.

Maries gravesite had been used as a point for voodoo rituals since the day she died...and now its an issue? you would put 3 xxx's on her site and leave a gift for her to grant your wish. it wasn't vandalism and nobody from NOLA ever thought so. Its a damn shame that somebody came alone all these years later in their infinite wisdom and closed not only the cemetery to public but her grave. absolutely ridiculous and whoever did that didn't know, doesn't know or doesn't care about the people in the voodoo community that used her site for voodoo prayers

You should check out places in kansas city Bagger

The guide makes me remember Sylvia Browne... Maybe her hair, maybe her voice...

God rest there souls

I love our Brick Oven crypts

Just so you know that the hurricanes did a lot of damage to all the Graves.

I read the book about this

It’s been 20+ years ago but when I visited New Orleans I was walking around some of the grave yards and came across a metal one the lock was cut off the door so I opened it and seen 3 skeletons on each side then went in and took pictures.

Great this video

Do they allow people to take selfies with the tomb?

Legend has it when you visited Marie laveau's grave you had to put three x's on it with chalk or some kind of Mark that's why her grave Hakeem Stone was so desecrated

Oh of go to new Orleans I am not coming back to Michigan😱😱🔮😍😍😱😏👊

You broke a big rule

Hearing about Marie Laveau reminds me of Van Halen's song "Voodoo Queen", a demo which was later reworked into "Mean Street" for Fair Warning. It's great, but doesn't have that amazing intro from the rework. Check it out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/laWauNuyaKmtprA.html
