Born in the late 1700s, Elisha Broadeaux, known as Lige Broad Ax, was brought to New Orleans from Cuba by a French planter. But it was in Kentucky where he earned his reputation as "the terror of Kentucky." The old Voudou priest preferred to be silent on the subject as he wanted to impress people with his declaration that he was 140 years old and would never die because he discovered the ELIXIR OF IMMORTALITY. Many folks asserted that the secret of his longevity was that he occasionally took the form of a vampire and repaired his shattered constitution with the blood of his younger victims. The power of old Lige to inhabit the bodies of animals at will was never disputed by those who knew him.
