If you travel far enough down Swan Lake Road in Bossier, you come across JuJu Road. By day JuJu Road is a quiet place surrounded by farmers hauling hay. By night it's a place of terror, or so several Bossier residents claim.

The story I have heard is pre-Civil War. A master caught his slave named JuJu with his daughter, the enraged Master dragged JuJu and hung him on a tree. The area called JuJu Road off of Swan Lake in Bossier is considered by many locals as one of the most Haunted places in Northwest Louisiana. Those unlucky enough to find themselves on JuJu Road at night encounter the deceased slave. Many claim they see the shadow of his body in the moonlight swinging from that same tree where they claim he was hung. Others have encountered the slave freeing himself from the branch and wandering the road. Hooded figures with torches can also be seen approaching the tree.

One woman shared her high school scare, she and her friends went out to JuJu road at midnight to catch a glimpse of JuJu. This woman swears they felt an unsettling energy and when they tried to start the car it would not start. Can you imagine the fear that these high schoolers felt?

I asked several Bossier residents about their experiences at JuJu Road and here is what was shared with me:

  1. You can see a man hanging from a tree if you go at night. It is the creepiest feeling that will ever come over you.
  2. Tractors break down when they normally wouldn't. A simple job of bailing hay is followed by a lot of mechanical issues that normally wouldn't happen.
  3. If you go after midnight, you will see shadows of torches and several hooded people.
  4. When there is a full moon you can see the slave with the rope around his neck wandering the area.
  5. Don't shut your car off if you go out there, it will struggle to turn back on if you need to get out of there ASAP.
  6. If you visit the area at night you will become ill over the next several days.
  7. Panic attacks will take over your body.
  8. Your phone will randomly lose reception. If you try and make a phone call the call will drop.
  9. You might see hooded figures with torches approaching a tree.

Everything that I have heard about JuJu Road freaks me out and there is no way I will ever find myself there to find out for myself. ParaSeekers of Shreveport posted a video on their YouTube Channel of an EVP at JuJu Road in Bossier City, what do you hear in the video below?
