Parlangua

The Parlangua

In 1987, I was 14 years old and living in Rapides Parish, Louisiana. A friend of mine told me he had a song he wanted me to hear. It was called, “The Legend of The Parlangua” by a band I had never heard of called Cahoots. I listened to it. It intrigued me. The song was about a swamp monster and how the singer goes out to kill it for killing his father and brother. In the end, he too is killed. I thought it was interesting but thought nothing more of it.

The thing was, callers didn’t take it as a joke and described seeing a similar creature. read more
