Description

This week Eli, Jasmine and Alex take a little trip down to the bayous of New Orleans to look into the history of the mystery of a werewolf creature. In Cajun folklore, the Rougarou is a curse that one inflicts on themselves if one does not follow Lent for 7 consecutive years. Join us around the Campfire as we discuss this sinning cynic of a cryptid!
