How Locals Blamed Voodoo For One Louisiana Hurricane

The story of Julia Brown stands today as one of the most well-known Louisiana voodoo legends. “Aunt Julia” was the community healer for the tiny town of Frenier, LA. Although she was their healer, many people believe she put a curse on the town. Frenier, located just east of New Orleans along the shores of Lake Ponchartrain, was completely wiped out by the Great Storm of 1915 on the day of Brown’s funeral. It’s rumored that Aunt Julia placed a voodoo curse on the town that leveled the community when she passed.
