About this listen

Swamps don’t just get dark. They get occupied. In this episode of Cryptid Captures, Phreak heads into the Louisiana bayou to track the Rougarou: a Cajun twist on old French werewolf lore that’s survived for generations as both a warning and a legend. We dig into where the name comes from, why the story stuck so hard in South Louisiana, the religious and cultural threads that shaped it, and the kind of modern encounters people still swear by. Is it a literal creature? No clean proof. But in a place where the treeline watches back, sometimes folklore is dangerous enough all by itself.
