The Dauphine Orleans Hotel in New Orleans is considered a haunted location due to its history as a bordello run by May Bailey and as a recovery place for Civil War soldiers, with reports of ghostly figures, unexplained footsteps, and objects moving on their own. The most active areas include May Bailey's Place bar, where visitors report feeling someone touch their leg, the library, where books are knocked off shelves, and the bordello suite, which is considered a place of unrest and is so unsettling that one employee refuses to enter it. The most haunted area, this bar was once a brothel. Guests report feeling an unseen presence trying to touch their legs. Bordello Suite: The former private rooms of May Bailey and her sister, this suite is said to cause feelings of unease. Carriage Rooms: The oldest part of the hotel, these rooms were used as an extended rear wing of the brothel. Library: A ghost is sometimes seen knocking books off the shelves. Guests have reported doors locking themselves, footsteps, shadows, and even TVs turning on by themselves. May Bailey's sister, Millie, is said to be seen wearing her wedding dress, as her fiancé was shot on their wedding day. Spirits of soldiers who recuperated on the premises during the Civil War are often seen. The property has roots dating back to at least the late 18th century, with parts of the current building built around 1831.
