Behind the iron gates of St. Patrick’s Cemetery No. 2 in New Orleans lies a silent city of the dead — a place where towering marble tombs hold the stories of thousands of Irish immigrants who came to America searching for a better life. Instead, many were met with deadly disease, grueling labor, and tragedy during the 1800s.

In this episode of Harlots of Spooktalk, the hosts explore the haunting history of St. Patrick’s Cemetery No. 2 and the devastating yellow fever epidemics that filled its tombs. But history isn’t the only thing that lingers here. Visitors have long reported ghostly figures wandering the narrow tomb pathways, unexplained voices echoing through the cemetery, and eerie sightings that have turned this burial ground into one of the most mysterious in New Orleans.

Are these stories simply legends born from tragedy… or could the spirits of the forgotten still walk among the vaults?

Join LD Pteloma, Karli, and Tiffany as they uncover the dark past, chilling folklore, and paranormal encounters surrounding one of New Orleans’ historic “Cities of the Dead.”
