Backwoods Signal

Louisiana is a land of bayous, swamps, old roads, deep folklore, spiritual traditions, and unexplained encounters. In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, Lon Strickler presents a chilling collection of Louisiana reports involving swamp creatures, Loup Garou/Rougarou legends, reptilian humanoids, UFO abduction, time-slip anomalies, haunted New Orleans, and disturbing high-strangeness accounts from the Bayou State.

Reports include a recent bipedal swamp creature near Westlake, a terrifying canal encounter in South Louisiana, an Oil City Loup Garou story, a lizard man sighting on I-55 in Tangipahoa Parish, a New Iberia UFO abduction report, the mysterious vanishing 1940 automobile between Abbeville and Lafayette, and eerie New Orleans accounts involving howls, ritual atmosphere, and post-Katrina recovery work.

These cases suggest that Louisiana’s old stories may not be mere folklore. Something strange moves through the swamps, roads, canals, and shadows of the Bayou State.
