It has taken me a while to post this on the Official Haunted History Tours page but I want to take this time to acknowledge and remember our original owner, Sidney Smith, who left this world on September 5, 2025, after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Sidney and I originally launched the company in 1995, starting with just a handful of ghost stories and 1 guide. Over the past 30 plus years, we have grown to become the oldest and largest walking tour company in New Orleans. Through his mastery of marketing and my knowledge of the paranormal, the company grew offering a wide array of both walking tours and tours by bus.

Sidney's presence will be missed but I will continue to carry the torch with Haunted History Tours leading the tour industry in New Orleans. We will be offering all of our popular tours this Halloween season day & night; walking & bus. The brand, Haunted History Tours, will live on and continue to grow and prosper. We will make you proud, Sid!
