Jacob adjusted his suit jacket as he stepped out of the van, he shot Simon one more dirty look, in order to say 'just try me!". He ignored Tori's concerns and insisted they go and pick their number.<br/><br/>There was surprisingly little commentary and Jacob thought that the teams might be introduced, as he didn't recognize atleast two of them. Of course Taps was represented, but other than that the announcer simply blew by most of the ceremonies, it was slightly disappointing.<br/><br/><br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline">The Bourbon Orleans Hotel</span><br/><br/>Stories of the rooms and corridors of the Bourbon Orleans Hotel being haunted are about as old as the hotel itself. Prior to the hotel's existence, the site was home to the historic Orleans Ballroom and Theater before being converted into a convent in the late 1800s. Ghosts who roam the halls and rooms of the Bourbon Orleans today lived during many different eras of this building's history.  The Bourbon Orleans Hotel ranks as one of New Orleans' top haunted hotels. Chip Coffey, internationally acclaimed psychic and host of A&E's Psychic Kids, performed a reading at the historic Orleans ballroom as part of his Coffey Talk Tour and detected and communicated with several spirits, including a little boy and girl who experienced sudden deaths.<br/><br/>There is the story of the Confederate Soldier or "The Man" that surrounds both the sixth and third floors. A yellow fever epidemic struck New Orleans during the time the the hotel was convent and orphanage. The ghost children and female apparitions found at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel are most likely from the era of the Sisters of the Holy Family's convent, girls' school, medical ward and orphanage.<br/><br/>The most frequently told tale is of a little girl rolling her ball and chasing it down the sixth floor corridors. Light footsteps can often be heard in the hallway.  The famous Orleans Ballroom, home to the grandest social events of the nineteenth century, is also home of a lonely ghost dancer, seen dancing underneath the ballroom's crystal chandelier. Several reports have been made of the rustling and a person hiding behind the draperies in the ballroom, without a window open or person actually there.<br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline">The St. Louis Cemetery # 1</span><br/><br/>Annually, many exciting events take place in the New Orleans area. There is a great diversity in this area of Louisiana when it comes to culture, festivities, music, and more. In the shadows of the ever-popular French Quarter lies one of the most haunted places, as well as one of the oldest places in the area â€“ this is the St. Louis Cemetery which is often referred to as â€œnumber oneâ€. This is a beautiful cemetery with carefully sculpted tombs and markers of individuals who played a vital role in the history of the area. Here, you will learn about the fact that it is also the most haunted cemetery in Louisiana.<br/><br/>This Location has so many real ghost stories and legends associated with it, that Hollywood has made good use of it by making it the setting of very popular films. You may have seen the cemetery in the movie â€œEasy Riderâ€, or even in the box office hit called â€œInterview with the Vampireâ€. While these are two of the most popular movies to feature this spooky graveyard, they are not the only cinemas to feature the location. The entire â€œlook and feelâ€ of this particular cemetery lay way for some of the best of the best when it comes to ghosts and legends that are frightening in nature.<br/><br/>Not many individuals realize it, but New Orleans is an area that lies below sea level. This means, when it comes time to bury the dead, it is done by building above ground structures that house the dead bodies. These are often referred to as â€œtombsâ€. Instead of these grounds being called â€œcemeteriesâ€ or â€œgraveyardsâ€, they are often referred to as â€œThe Cities of the Deadâ€. This particular â€œCity of the Deadâ€ hosts one of the most notorious tombs of all time â€“ and that is of Marie Laveau. This particular woman is known as the â€œGrande Voodoo Queenâ€. Many individuals in the area believe that this particular womanâ€™s spirit haunts the graveyard, and any and all individuals who try to disrupt her rest, or â€œawakenâ€ her. She is also know to leave special visitors small gifts in the form of monkey or cock figurines.<br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline">The Hotel Monteleone</span><br/><br/>This location has long been a favorite haunt of distinguished Southern authors and many of them immortalized the Grand Dame of the French Quarter in their works. Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, and William Faulkner always made 214 Royal Street their address while in the Crescent City. While in the Carousel Bar & Lounge, Truman Capote used to boast that he was born in the Monteleone. (He wasnâ€™t. Though his mother lived at the historic hotel during her pregnancy, she safely made it to the hospital in time for Trumanâ€™s debut.) The list doesnâ€™t stop there; Anne Rice, Stephen Ambrose and John Grisham also joined the ranks of literary guests over the years making our hotel the premiere destination for haunted hotels in New Orleans.<br/><br/>Generations of hotel guests and staff have regularly experienced haunted events that would cause even the staunchest skeptic to take pause. This haunted hotel in New Orleans has a restaurant door that opens almost every evening and then closes again, even though it is locked. An elevator that stops on the wrong floor, leading a curious couple down a hallway that grows chilly and reveals the ghostly images of children playing. Many people who come to Hotel Monteleone donâ€™t want to leave. Some never do.<br/><br/>In March 2003, the International Society of Paranormal Research spent several days at the Hotel Monteleone, investigating the haunted New Orleans hotel.  While at the hotel, the team made contact with more than a dozen earthbound entities. Among them were several former employees, a man named William Wildemere who died inside the hotel of natural causes, and a boy who was much older when he died but enjoys returning to Hotel Monteleone as a 10-year-old to play hide-and-seek with another young spirit.<br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline">The Beauregard-Keyes House</span><br/><br/>In a house as old as the Beauregard-Keyes House, you'd figure there'd be a ghost or two drifting about. After all, the sprawling yellow mansion has been sitting in New Orleans' ghost-rich French Quarter since 1826.<br/><br/>But aside from a few run-of-the-mill vaporous presences, the Beauregard-Keyes House, at 1113 Chartres St., claims one of the city's more spectacular hauntings. The supposed supernatural sightings revolve around the mansion's most auspicious resident, Confederate Gen. Pierre G.T. Beauregard. Beauregard occupied the house from 1865-66.<br/><br/>On certain nights, folks say the boxy old Creole mansion comes alive in pitched and gory warfare, when a supernatural version of the Battle of Shiloh rages in the main hall.<br/><br/>"Men with mangled limbs and blown-away faces swirl in a confused dance of death," writes Victor C. Klein in his 1996 book New Orleans Ghosts. "Horses and mules appear and are slaughtered by grapeshot and cannon. The pungent smell of blood and decay permeates the restless atmosphere."<br/><br/><br/>Soon though it was time to pick locations and each team leader walked up to the upturned black top hat that contained folded pieces of stylized parchment with hand written location names. PSI's number was 4th, so they watched as the other locations were anomalously snatched up by the bigger teams first, they wouldn't know until Tori got back with theirs.  Tori walked up last and came back with the only location left, she looked slightly let down by the selection though.<br/><br/>"Don't keep us in suspense babe, What'd we get?" Jacob asked.
