Episode 237: The Curse of Manchac Swamp

For our second installment of creepy ass bodies of water, Alaina tells us the story of Manchac swamp in Louisiana and a voodoo healer called Aunt Julia who predicted her own death AND informed the town that she’d be taking them all with her. Boy did she follow through on this promise. We also share 2 listener stories regarding not only this area in Louisiana but also Lake Lanier!

I’m from LA and drive thru Manchac quite a bit. Never knew that story. There’s an awesome seafood restaurant there you have to try.

I love that you love Louisiana!
