What even is a Sackabilly?!

Gather around the campfire as Papa Gage tells you the story of one of Louisianas lesser known Boogeymen: From the 337 to the 985, all the way up North to the 457 children have been told stories of Louisiana boogeymen like The Rougarou and Pere' Malfait but there's one in particular that is often forgotten about...The Sackabilly?! (rustles paperwork) Hold up what the $#@% even is a Sackabilly? in all my years of narrating episodes you guys really make me second guess the research I've done... Nevertheless the sackabilly is one of Louisiana's boogeymen that deserves to be more well known! is he a man, a goblin, or just a breeze in the wind that snatches up children throughout not only the swamps and forrests of Louisiana but also Portugal, Spain, Mexico, and India! Some consider The Sackabilly to be some mishmash gumbo made by Nonk Carl at 2 AM after regailing you with one of his stories about how he saved Grand Isle from a Giant 60ft tall blue crab. _________________________________________________________________________ Want to watch our episodes?

Bourbons Lot: Vampires in the Swamp

When you think of vampires the first place that comes to mind might be Transylvania right?! Wrong Louisiana is home to countless vampire stories and surprisingly enough our own town called Transylvania! as well as a whole Cafe in New Orleans called The Vampire Cafe, so hold on tight as the boys will show you the skin of a killer loca, watch as they glisten in the sunlight and tell two of the stories less commonly known around the state much less the country. The casket girls of New Orleans were genuinely misunderstood? or were their disguises completely seen through? Maybe they might have just been misunderstood implants from the french empire to grow the louisiana settlement? If you were in their shoes at that time would you have leaned hard into the accusations of being a vampire and if so what kind of bloodsucker would you have been? Jacque Saint Germain or as Alec likes to refer to him off camera the most interesting man in the world, we talk about the man known throughout time as the count of Saint Germain a multi cultural enigma of a man with occult and vampiric ties, even royal and biblical ties?! listen as the guys discuss this time traveling vampire and how he shaped not only france but partied it up in New Orleans for a time! __________________________________________________________________________________ Want to sink your fangs into some good food while in New Orleans?

The Rouga-Who?

Located deep in the heart of Louisianas swamp lands lurks the most well known big, hairy, and down right terrifying creature...Dr*nk Uncle Carl?! Wait no that can't be right, I mean I know he takes peoples catalytic converters but still? this whole episode is about him? let me look at these notes again...I apologize dear readers it is in fact THE ROUGAROU! Travel back in time with the boys to learn about how Louisianians have been terrifying their children for centuries with tales of being turned into a dog, or how they better tuck their feet under their blankets at night and if they didn't the Rougarou would pull their toes, or how their parents brought them to the Audubon Zoo to see the "Rougarou" in person; now listen I know what you're saying Mr. Ominous Narrator we already know the story of the rougarou?! and to that dear reader I say: Mais no you don't beb. We re-tell the stories passed down for generations as well as talk about the cultural impact that the stories of the rougarou had on us growing up, from a simple story told to children to make sure they behaved ESPECIALLY during lent, to a full blown 3 day festival this October 17th-19th 2025 in the Rougarous biggest hotspots for sightings: HOUMA LOUISIANA. The secret word to score yourself a BCZ koozie is (long circles) so come find the boys as they walk around the festival and tell them about any weird or supernatural stories you may have and make sure to bring up the secret word! So follow along with us as we take you on the fantastical ride, feet first into the big hairy Magnalite pot that is the rougarou. Put you on your lil robe, let the vinyl needle fall on your favorite Vin Bruce album, pour you some black berry wine, and make sure to keep 13 pennies close to you because you would'nt want to be the rougarous next victim would you? __________________________________________________________________________________ Want to bring your kids see the rougarou in person?
