Few people know the story behind Louisiana’s most haunted swamp in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, making it the creepiest town in Louisiana. Legend has it that Manchac Swamp is haunted by Julia Brown's ghost. Known locally as a voodoo priestess, Brown lived in the small town of Frenier at the turn of the 20th century, about 25 miles from the swamp. Due to a curse she had placed on the swamp, Brown is blamed for a hurricane that whipped through on Sept. 15, 1915, killing more than 50 people.
