Louisiana is filled with old, and I mean OLD religion. African, Caribbean, French, and Indigenous religions have combined to create a magic realm of mysticism and mystery.

But, the Rougarou and the menagerie of poisonous and violent animals aren’t the only things you need to watch out for in the swamps of Louisiana.

As Rust Cohle says in True Detective, “Time is a flat circle. Everything we've ever done or will do, we're gonna do over and over and over again. And that little boy and that little girl, they're gonna be in that room again and again and again forever."

This might sound like pretentious freshmen-year philosophy talk, but there’s more to it than that. It might just be the ticket we need to better understand the very nature of reality. It might just be the starting point we need to analyze so we can stop the Hosannas of the world from happening again.

It might be pretentious, sure, but it also might be our salvation.

The plot of the first season of True Detective contains some of the most horrifying, degrading, and disgusting acts ever caught on film. It has old world magic. It has ritualistic abuse and sacrifice.

And it was based on a true story.

As the months wore down in 1918, more and more people were being found in their New Orleans homes with their heads brutally destroyed by an axe.

When this killer's reign of terror ended in October of 1919, six people were be dead and six more wounded. He prowled the streets of New Orleans for only a year and a half, but the psychic damage done to the city would last over a century.

Because at the end of the day, the man known as the Axeman of New Orleans was never caught.

If he was a man at all, that is…

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.

Bewitchment.

What are they? Let's try to find out.

In the 1860s, Boston photographer William Mumler took a self portrait that would change his life. In the photo, above his shoulder, was the translucent image of a woman. She appeared to be made of light, and upon further inspection, Mumler believed the image to be that of his cousin, who had died twelve years earlier.

Whether he meant to or not, Mumler stumbled on the first ever instance of “spirit photography”.

Drinking the Koolaid

In the fall of 1939, a mysterious being terrorized the streets of Provincetown, Massachusetts. As the season went on and the incidents became more and more violent, many started to believe that the thing haunting their town was the same entity that prowled the streets of Victorian London a century earlier. 

What are these beings, and what do they want with us?
