Hi, all. First-time poster here, and I hope you all find this experience interesting--I sure did.

My husband and I were in New Orleans in 2005, about three months before Katrina. We took a ghost tour one night and I had two eerie experiences. Before the tour started, we were standing in a group outside one old building, waiting for the tourguide to collect everyone's tickets. I looked up at the second floor of this old warehouse, now used as a restaurant, and saw in my mind's eye a clear image of a man hanging by the neck. He wore 18th century clothing, was tall, and had his head & face covered. I shook off the experience, and chalked it up to the atmosphere of being on a ghost tour. When the guide started telling us the history of the building, though, it got a little uncomfortable: Sure enough, in the 18th century, a man had hung himself from the rafters of the floor I had been looking at. His name escapes me at the moment, but the tour guide distinctly described him as being tall. No explanation of the covered head/face.

At another location that night, I was drawn to one particular window of a reputedly haunted hotel. I was nearly overcome with a feeling of sadness, almost like I wanted to sit on the curb and start to cry. Then the guide explained: At that very window, many visitors have reported seeing a woman, looking out the window longingly and sobbing hysterically.

Sometimes I think back on that night as being full of coincidence, but sometimes, I wonder...

Hi readergal
You have visited a very haunted city filled with spirits, magic and vodoo. It sounds as though you were very sensitive to the energy there and was able to see in your minds eye vision of residual past.
