Historic Lorimier Cemetery from the early 1800s is home to a phenomenon known as the Tapping Ghost. It is a sensation of something tapping you on the shoulder, usually making visitors think a nut has fallen from a tree. The tapping repeats, usually until the visitor gets freaked out and hurries away. Female visitors also have experienced their hair being tugged.

@Ghoststalkerspr There is also a little girl we named lorimier she’s English spoken and will talk to you just run you recoreder.
I might be going to this cemetary with a recorder for a youtube video. Does “lorimier” ALWAYS speak to EVERYONE?
I was there yesterday late in the afternoon after a huge rainstorm all alone. It is def a creepy vibe, but I did not encounter anything unusual. All I could think about was the noise from the casino that now below it & less than a block away.
Tapping ghost is at “New” Lorimier on Carothers.d
Years ago, I saw a tall shadow man with a long coat and brim hat. Almost like dark smoke in a contained form. It was my first true paranormal sighting.
The write-up refers to historic Lorimier Cemetery. Yet the map refers to the new Lorimier Cemetery.
This is definitely true.
