Manchac Sunset 2
Pass Manchac (Akers), Louisiana
Calm waters and a cloudless sky make for a dramatic sunset on Lake Maurepas at Pass Manchac (Akers), Louisiana.
1719 map of Louisiana, made to promote the Louisiana Company. The company had a monopoly on trade with the Louisiana territory, and its director, John Law, managed to persuade many French people that there were unbelievable riches to be had there. A wild frenzy of speculation and investment ensued, leading to theĀ āMississippi Bubble.ā In 1720, there was a run on the paper money issued by the company, and the company collapsed.

The legend of Julia Brown, the lesser known Louisiana Voodoo Queen.
In Manchac Swamp in Louisiana, a woman named Julia Brown was a resident, prophetess and Voodoo Queen. She was an ornery neighbor and most people avoided her unless needed, but they definitely respected her.
She enjoyed singing ominous songs that often predicted doom and terrible outcomes. They were eerily accurate and in 1915 she sang the most frightening song of them all. She kept repeating āOne day Iām gonna die, and Iām gonna take all of you with me.ā
She died within a few days of singing her new tune. The locals of the neighboring village to the swamp wanted to honor her life and death with a grand funeral to send her off. Over 200 people gathered, but they never got to leave.
A strong and furious hurricane struck the funeral and killed most of its attendants. They were buried in a mass grave in the swamp, and to this day bodies occasionally float to the surface. They say you can still visit Manchac swamp and hear Julia Brown singing her final song.
āOne day Iām gonna die, and Iām gonna take all of you with me.ā

I have been deeply in love with the seemingly nonsensical answer for such a long time, this is unbelievable and wonderful and I adore it so much- what a paradigm shift!!
