Deep in the murky swamps of Louisiana lurks the Rougarou, a fearsome, red-eyed beast that blends Cajun folklore with werewolf legend. Said to be a shapeshifter cursed by disobedience or witchcraft, this swamp-dwelling terror stalks those who break the rules of Lent or dare to wander too far into the bayou at night. From eerie encounters to its lasting legacy in festivals, theme parks, and pop culture, we unravel the chilling tales of the Rougarou—along with other Louisiana legends like the Honey Island Swamp Monster and the sinister Grunch. Join us at Creatures Unknown to explore!
