The Seventh Gate of Bayou Sorrel

Deep in the Atchafalaya Basin, past Bayou Sorrel, there is a stretch of water known only to a few. In the winter of 2019, a woman named Evangeline took me there. She'd lived her whole life on the bayou, and she'd seen things she couldn't explain. That night, she showed me the seventh gate—an old iron grate half-submerged in black water, rusted and half-eaten by moss. She said it wasn't a gate to keep things out, but to keep something in. And every time the water dropped low enough, the gate would groan. Not from the current. From something pressing against it from the other side. This is the story of what we heard that night, and what I saw when she opened it. #BayouSorrel #AtchafalayaBasin #TheSeventhGate #Evangeline #IronGate #BeneathTheWater #Winter2019 #LouisianaSwamp #BayouAfterDark #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SouthernGothic #SwampHorror #DeepWater #WhatLurksBelow #RustAndMoss #TheGroaning #NeverOpen #FolkHorror #Louisiana Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
