The Acadiana region is a place unlike any other.

Located in southwestern Louisiana, within the twenty-two parish bayou lands that hug the Gulf Coast, you can find a variety of people. Traditionally, this area is thought to be home to the Cajun French people that were exiled from the Canadian Maritimes area. These Cajun immigrants would eventually intermingle with the natives, as well as other immigrants, and combine to create one unified culture. On this tour visitors can expect to be entertained by the mysteries and magic from this area in Louisiana and its people while also gaining the knowledge of all the peculiar things that helped shaped the Acadiana history.

To different people, the term “mystery” can be many different things ranging from supernatural activity to bizarre occurances with no simple or logical answer. The unknown peeks our interest and elicit invigorating feelings. Venturing into the unknown captures our attention and keeps us holding on for more. This tour seeks to tug at the curiosity by revealing various interesting, historical tales that surround the people and places within the Acadiana region. Tour goers will encounter narratives of mysterious events, unusual discoveries, peculiar or unsolved crimes, religious anomalies, folklore, unexplained disappearances, famous ghost stories, and haunted places.

Our Ghost or paranormal stories will offer insight into the lives and ways of those that have come long before us. When these individuals linger and lurk amongst the living, stories of ghosts and spirits are formed. The reports of paranormal sightings show that sometimes those who were here long ago may not yet be ready to leave. This contact and interaction with the departed provides a connection between the living and a past culture, allowing us to better understand the kind of places we come from.

Sometimes, spirits do not have to be seen or felt. From spirits that wish to help us and the ones that perform unusual rituals, the religion of the Acadian ancestors can be felt across the Acadiana land.

Here, you will read of alleged saints acting in bravery through traditional religious acts to cure the ill and provide spiritual healing to all, the mysteries of faith are brought to life and felt by those who wish to believe.

While also learning of non-traditional religious affairs that focus more into rituals, magic, and sorcery.

Either way, the strength of religion and spiritual belief is a strong force that has been present in the Acadiana region since the day that the Cajuns set foot in Louisiana.

On occasion, physical evidence is left behind to remind us of the past. The discovery of secret treasure, tunnels, and human remains allows us to peer into the past and see the world in a new light. The Acadiana land was shaped by a society long gone and strange to our ways.

Tunnels dug to provide secret passages or holes dug to hide human corps both create questions that cause us to look further into how life used to be and what those before us were experiencing.

The tales told on this tour were carefully chosen because they have stood the test of time and have hardly aged through the years. These stories are ingrained in history and will forever live on in books, photos, and in the mind of the residents who will pass them down from generation to generation. Come along with us on this tour to experience the spooky side of Acadiana. Read the stories or listen along as the mysteries come alive before you.
