New Orleans and the state of Louisiana have a reputation for haunted legends and supernatural creatures, including vampires, ghosts, and swamp monsters.
Vampire lore in New Orleans is almost as old as the city itself. One famous story is The Casket Girls of the French Quarter, where French girls arrived in the 1700s with small wooden trunks, which locals claimed contained vampires from Europe.
Locals claimed their “caskets” contained no clothes, only vampires they brought from Europe.
It is alleged that at least 50 real vampires live in New Orleans, adding to the city's mysterious and haunted reputation.
