Louisiana - Ghost Pirates of Barataria Bay

Listen on

Episode notes

In this episode, we dive into the murky waters of Louisiana's Barataria Bay, home to one of the most enduring legends of the Gulf Coast: the story of Jean Lafitte and his ghostly pirates. Jean Lafitte, the notorious French pirate-turned-folk-hero, built an empire of outlaws deep in the bayous, where he and his crew amassed unimaginable wealth by plundering Spanish ships. But Lafitte’s cunning went beyond piracy—he was a master of secrecy, and his treasure remains hidden in the Louisiana swamps to this day.
