Swamp Secrets

Uncovering the secrets of the swamp

“The basin keeps what it's given. I just write down what it gives back.” — Bayou Beau

Short version: no real names, no coordinates, no faces.

Long version:
1. No real names. Yours, your cousin's, the deputy's. Handles only. The basin reads.
2. No coordinates. Parish is as close as you get. If a place wants finding, it does its own finding.
3. No faces. Blur them or keep them. This includes reflections. Especially reflections.
4. Doc gets one debunk per thread. Every choir needs a pew for the unconvinced, and he brings his own hymnal.
5. If something follows you home, you post from somewhere else. That is not superstition, that is logistics.
6. The stove is real. Moderated posts are not deleted, they are burned. I do it on Sundays.

Your host. Twenty years in the basin, one working tape recorder, no last name you need. The rest of your questions, answered badly →
