But they are real. In this video, we uncover some of the most insane facts about Louisiana that sound fake at first: from its French and Spanish roots, haunted legends, wild bayou culture, strange local traditions, unusual geography, and the deep contradictions that make this state unlike anywhere else in the United States.
