The Hermit of Bayou Teche
from Bayou After Dark — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the summer of 2019, a drought shrank Bayou Teche to a trickle. That's when the parish drainage crew found something in the mud: a door, perfectly intact, hinged to a cypress root, leading nowhere. Luna's cousin Camille worked the crew. She told Luna what they saw when they pried it open — and what crawled out after dark. This is a story about a hole in the ground, a man who forgot his own name, and the sound of something scraping against the bottom of a pirogue. It happened just south of Breaux Bridge, on a stretch of water where the moss hangs so thick you can't see the bank. It happened to someone Luna knew. And it didn't end when they filled the hole back in. #BayouTeche #BreauxBridge #Louisiana #TheHermit #MudDoor #CypressRoot #Drought #DrainageCrew #Camille #Pirogue #SpanishMoss #ChimneySweep #UnderTheHouse #SouthernGothic #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #BayouAfterDark #SwampHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
