I had a great time on the... - I had a great time on the True Crime Ghost tour. The tour guide Jamie Lindsey was amazing. She was friendly and well researched on the subject. Loved the honesty she added to each story. Be careful of eating sausage in the French Quarter you never know who or what you may find in it.
