The Bell Witch of St. Landry Parish
from Bayou After Dark — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the summer of 1987, a seventy-year-old woman named Elodie Breaux lived alone in a shotgun house at the dead end of Parish Road 33, just outside the town of Melville, Louisiana. She kept a bell on her front porch — a rusted iron bell hanging from a cypress beam — and she rang it every night at dusk. The neighbors said it was to call her dead husband home from the swamp. But one night, the bell rang back. I was there when it started. I was there when the ringing became a conversation. And I was there on the last night, when the bell rang without anyone touching it — and Elodie answered the door for something that should not have had a face. This is the story of that bell, and what it summoned from the bayou. #BayouAfterDark #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #BellWitch #StLandryParish #MelvilleLouisiana #ShotgunHouse #CypressBell #SwampCalling #ElodieBreaux #ParishRoad33 #Summer1987 #DuskRinging #IronBell #SouthernGothic #BayouMystery #GhostStory #LouisianaHaunting #SwampHorror #FolkHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
