It was the last tour of the day so I took up the place as last in line to make sure that everyone was out before the park locked up. I know that no one was behind me going down but as I decended about halfway I heard footsteps behind me. I went back up just to be sure that I had ushered everyone out and there was no one just as I thought. I preceeded back down and just as I stepped off the last step I heard them again. Knowing that I had checked twice and no one was left inside I closed the door and told the ranger it was all clear to lock up. This was my very first paranormal expericence.

The Battle field itself in accualy located in the Parish of St. Bernard, just on the border of Aradi and Chalmette. As well as I am aware of, Orleans Parish has little or nothing to to with the maintenance of the Chalmette Battlefield. Furthermore, the wonderful people of St. Bernard Parish take great pride in keeping there hisorical landmarks alive. Thank you for your time. I hope this is helpful. John E.
