Happy New Year! We’re starting 2025 with a bang! Louisiana is known for its rich culture, spicy food, and lively music, but it’s also home to some seriously spine-chilling legends. From swamps cloaked in Spanish moss to bayous teeming with secrets, this state might just be the cryptid capital of the South. Tonight, we’re exploring the legendary creatures said to roam the Pelican State. We’ll be digging into tales of the Honey Island Swamp Monster, Rougarou, and maybe even a ghostly gator or two.
