\u201cOne day I\u2019m gonna die - and I\u2019m gonna take the whole town with me.\u201d\n\nA quote from today's first story. Our first tale is the legend of Louisiana voodoo priestess Julia Brown's curse in 1915. Did she take a whole town with her when she died? And does her ghost still haunt the Manchac swamp?\xa0Our second story revolves around the Hmong culture's belief in - and fear of - the tsog tsuam, "the evil spirit who smothers." Can this creature quite literally scare you to death? Can a nightmare kill you?\xa0\n\nThank you for sending in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

Through our fence, breakthrough thou not\u2026 we are protected though we may be frightened.\xa0 Our life you may not steal, though we may feel SCARED TO DEATH."
