Traveling through the swamp lands of Louisiana is an adventure, not only through nature, but through history. The dank humid air and large oaks filled with Spanish Moss add an air of the creepy. So much is haunted here. These swamp lands were once dotted with large plantations and some of them still exist today. Laura Plantation and Oak Alley Plantation are found near Vacherie, Lousiana. Today, they are museums that one can explore and possibly interact with a few ghosts. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Laura and Oak Alley Plantations! The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Jared Rang and features The Johnny Cash Tarantula and This Month in History features the pardoning of gunslinger John Wesley Hardin. Our location suggested by Yvette Tan. This episode sponsored by Surfshark. Get Surfshark VPN at https://surfshark.deals/BUMP - Enter promo code BUMP for 83% off and 3 extra months free!
