Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Most swamps are regarded as places that are beautiful but downright scary, and one should know better than to visit them. The Manchac Swamp in Louisiana is no exception, as it is believed to be cursed by a woman known as Julia Brown.
Located near New Orleans, the Manchac Swamp offers admirers magnificent nature views and enjoyable kayak tours around the beautiful waterways. This murky swamp is home to countless alligators, turtles, and migratory birds. In this natural paradise, one can relax or be trapped with lost souls.
The Manchac Swamp is believed to be one of the most haunted swamps in Louisiana.
The reason behind the scary stories can be traced to Julia Brown, who once lived and died here. In this area, it is impossible to move without a boat. However, this did not bother Julia. She paddled through the swamp without fear of the dark waters, dangerous alligators, and sunken trees blocking the way. Julia may not have feared anything, but locals feared this Voodoo queen and her magical powers. Still, many visited her to get magical amulets, mixed love drinks, and voodoo curses they could use to destroy their enemies, or at least they hoped so.
Legend tells the Voodoo queen Julia Brown used to sit on her porch singing: "One day I'm going to die and take the whole town with me."
As strange as it may sound, it is exactly what happened one day when she died.
