| New Orleans is known for it's above ground cemeteries. | Brian is standing next to the Voodoo Queen's Tomb....It's Cursed! | A family plot...some people want to be buried so they raise a plot of ground and shallowly bury them. |

|
|
| The cemeteries are like creepy cities of the dead. | Marie Laveau....the Voodoo Queen. | |

|
| Offerings to the Voodoo Queen...made at the wrong crypt. | Offerings to the Voodoo Queen. | |

|
| This is what the crypts look like inside...Families use them over and over. | Dennis Hopper is thought to be the reason this statue has no head...see the movie Easy Rider. | Marie Leveau's Tomb. Notice the markings on the outside. |

|
| This roach is dead...and an offering to the Voodoo Queen. | The dentures were from a body that was buried in this plot...Yuck. | This vertebrae was on top of a burial plot. When new bodies are buried...the dirt is mixed and bones rise. |
