The Rougarou
from The Timber · host Tyler Liston
Louisiana is a mysterious place. Over time, French Catholicism and Southern Baptist Protestantism merged with West African and Haitian religions like Vodun and Hoodoo to create a region filled with spirits, myths, superstitions, and strange beings in the swamp. One of these beings is the perfect amalgamation of French, Indigenous, and African mythology. It stalks the swamps and sugar cane fields around New Orleans. It has the body of a man, and the head of a wolf. It has an insatiable desire to feed on human flesh, especially the flesh of a child. And it might just be real. This is the story of the Rougarou.
