We recommend that everyone bring a bottle of water as well because our weather is as brutal as our murders.
The Rise of True Crime When did the nation start to get such a deep interest in true crime? Lately, it seems everyone loves a good story about murder. The truth is, people have always loved hearing stories about murder. That’s why popular serial killers like Jack the Ripper and Ted Bundy’s stories keep getting told again and again. Pop culture has of course fed into people’s need to hear about murder 24/7 with the rise of true crime podcasts and mini-series on streaming services.
We, as people, are fascinated with evil. We want to know how and why someone could do such terrible things. It’s like a trainwreck that you can’t look away from. With the pretty much constant 24/7 news cycle, it is now easier than ever to consume true crime information. It’s really an adrenaline rush and a never-ending ‘who done it” that you get to experience every day if you want to. But a true crime tour is a bit more interesting than watching the nightly news, and a little less anxiety inducing. The tales are more thrilling and the endings more satisfying. You get to learn the city’s history and be engaged with one of our amazing guides who are all skilled storytellers.
At the end of the day, people love a great story and true crime offers that in spades. If you’re looking to hear the tantalizing tales of New Orleans you need Unique NOLA’s true crime tour.
