He starts with the real history of the location, then tell the supernatural stories. The guy was fantastic with his story telling and actions. He had Deanna scared out of her mind (he picked on her the whole tour) as he had her check his pulse... then apparently made it stop as she was checking. He also "cut himself" with his long nails at the end of the tour enough to draw blood, then healed it before our very eyes. Of note... he never blinks. Great guy, highly recommended tour, money well spent if you feel like being entertained by something different for a few hours.
Here's a bit of what his MySpace site says:
I am Lord Chaz. First and foremost, I am an entertainer. I am an actor, musician, illusionist and storyteller. I am most well known for being the creator and host of Vampire Street Theatre, the original nightly Ghost and Vampire Tour in New Orleans. We call it "street theatre" for a reason; it is far more than a typical tour.
I host and entertain brave souls on journeys through the darker streets of the French Quarter and share stories of murder, suicide, vampirism, and other tragedies that make up some of the city's most macabre history. These are the tales that have inspired famous authors such as Anne Rice, Poppy Z. Brite, and Robert Lynn Asprin. Come walk with me and ponder the timeless questions; What is a ghost? What is a haunting? What is the difference? Do vampires really exist? I will let you come to your own conclusion regarding that final question.
He also claims that over 100 people have fainted during his tour, and 1 guy had a heart attack.
The only strange thing that happened during our tour actually occurred during the break. We stopped at LaFitte's Blacksmith Shop for a potty break and of course some drinks mid-tour and a couple that was with us was snapping a few pics of a pretty fountain and something really strange turned up on only 1 of the pics... sort of a floating mist. It was really odd. Add that to the fact that LaFitte's is actually over 200 years old and supposedly haunted and we all had a blast with it. The couple said they were going to send the pic to Lord Chaz, so I'm watching his site to see if he posts them and I'll share them sometime. We'd actually been in LaFitte's already the night before for a few brews and I had a weird sort of feeling myself when I went back to the dark, creepy bathroom area as the place wasn't very populated that night. Fun stuff!
