As someone who used to work at a museum (that had an actual crypt in the basement lmao) I kind of dislike haunted house tourism because it seems like everyone’s ignoring interesting histories of the buildings they go to and commodifying the culture for haha spooky ghost stories. It’s a nuanced topic and of course places like New Orleans have a long history with supposedly haunted places, I don’t want to erase that, but I do feel like there’s a certain carelessness and disregard for culture and history involved in haunted house tourism.
