Louisiana Legends and Folklore

  • Summary

  • Grab your pirouge and rosary beads and come visit us in Louisiana! Our premiere episode includes a sighting of the Rougarou, which is a cajun werewolf or boogeyman. We talk about ghosts and haunted places here in our neck of the woods, and a trip to The Myrtles where Jess saw ghosts dancing on the front lawn! It will give you the "frisons" just hearing our account of creepy encounters from down the bayou, including folklores about the "lutins", souls of children who passed away before being baptized who are forced to wander the Earth in limbo. And we'll also dive into Spiritism as a way to explain why spirits from the other realm cross into this material world. So bring you Holy water and "Laissez le bon temps rouler", sha, cause we're giving you the lowdown from our home state!

    Excuse the audio, first timers here, but we promise to get better!
