The Moss Gatherer of Bayou Taille
from Bayou After Dark — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
Deep in the winter of '97, a man named Elias Chauvin begins gathering Spanish moss from the deadest cypress stands along Bayou Taille. He claims the moss talks to him at night. The locals laugh it off until Elias starts building something in his backyard with the moss—something that grows denser each week, something that begins to resemble a human form. When the parish sheriff investigates, she finds Elias hollow-eyed and whispering in a language that sounds like wet leaves scraping glass. The thing in the yard is almost finished. And it has started to move on its own. #BayouTaille #SpanishMoss #EliasChauvin #LouisianaWinter97 #MossTalker #CypressDead #ParishSheriff #BackyardThing #WetLeaves #WhisperLanguage #HollowEyes #MossGathering #SouthernGothic #BayouAfterDark #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SwampHorror #FolkHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
