Ok so as I recall he mentioned that some people came to her funeral out of guilt for the way they treated her. So it could’ve been a warning for vengeance. I don’t think she had control over the hurricane at all but I do believe that she had some sort of premonition about it and the devastation that it would bring. I don’t think a lot of the town people like her very much outside of her own people. She may have been tired of being used for only her healing abilities from her practice and a lot of people may have feared her because they believe that the magic that she did was pure evil and not of God. This was also rural south Louisiana in 1915 so also consider the racial inequality and lack of civil rights for African Americans.

That hurricane was horrible. Meteorology is something we take for granted today, but one hundred or even fifty yeara ago we couldn't just look on the cellular, radar or tele for weather conditions. People relied on shipping to get news of hurricanes and sometimes that could take days. This storm killed around 275 people, but about fifteen years earlier in 1900, Galveston, Tx was struck by the deadliest hurricane to strike the USA. I believe about two thousand peoples perished in that storm. I love these stories and histories.

It seems to me rhat Julia was highly gifted with foresight and being intuned with the universe she fortold the storm. Yet the people did not understand and would rather demonize her instead of respecting her life and the contribution she made to that society. The universe was with her and all the elements.

I remember this story. I went on a swamp tour in la place. Her burial gravesite is in the middle of the swamp. It was crazy to see.. the story was sad.

I think a song like that would make me uncomfortable too. What a colorful life she lived. Not everyone can claim to be a voodoo priestess (shivers). I wonder if she predicted it coming (warning or just knew) or cursed the town or if the towns people made it up 🤔? Always interesting FL Thank you 💙

In ancient times AFRICANS learned to read the sun, moon and stars. With that knowledge, they also learned to read things that happened before a storm. Benjamin Banneker a black MOOR created the ALMANAC which predicts.

I think she's was told of the storm via spirits and was giving the best warning she could, example- maybe the spirits wouldn't allow her to tell exact details.

This was fantastic! I loved it. History like this is something that really gets me. Am subscribing!

Thanks FL, Yet another very interesting story. I had never heard of Julia before now. This was the sort of happening that creates a legend. Just imagine how the survivors must have felt. I would have been pretty freaked out! It's a reminder to be nice to your local wise woman... You never know what might happen! 🌀🌀🌀

And PAY that woman for services rendered!!! lol

I grew up seven miles from Rudock. it still has its own Interstate exit, but that is only because of the boat launch there. There is not one building to this day in that area other than some Fish Camps. It's a beautiful swamp area with great wildlife, hunting and fishing!!! thanks for posting this video!! I didn't know the real history behind it. I knew it was a logging town that dried up but didn't know it was because of a hurricane. Should have figured. It was amazing to see how high the water levels got back there after Hurricane Katrina. You could see the water level line 20 feet up on the interstate bridge and all the cypress trees that have since come back.

What an interesting story that of Julia Brown. I think there are few people who have special gifts.

I think she probably had a dream or vision of the town being destroyed.

The Little Wood made house reminds me of the Disney’s the princess and the frogs Mama odies house .

Came here from Brief Case and I am so glad I did! Such an interesting channel. Subscribed. Keep it up!

Great story, and narrative. Thank you 😊

Her Visions Showed Her The Storm But Even Today No Body Listens

Like the wise women of old, later branded "witches," she was a scapegoat. Women with knowledge and power were very scary to certain people. They still are.

It’s amazing to hear stories like this. Respects to Julia Brown

Another very interesting story. I don’t think she would curse the town if she was well liked and respected. Maybe she could sense things others couldn’t, being a healer.

No. Madame foresaw what was coming but because the town was ,once again, filled with ingrates and racists who behaved accordingly towards her....she kept the warning to herself-possibly stroking the storm ensuring it's verocity. She took the warning with her to her body's grave.

Thank you for this video! I never heard of this lady!

Awesome documentary Thank you so much for this information

I really enjoyed this , I think it was just coincidence that the storm came same day Julia was set to be buried, the haunting I believe it’s from the un rested souls that didn’t get to cross over .

Thank you for mentioning that Voodoo is actually for healing.

Thank you for sharing Julia's fascinating story. She seems like she must have been a capable midwife & healer to have been accepted in the town, but as we all know these types of powerful females were often treated with suspicion. Songs are an integral part of the Voodoo religion and new songs are considered prophecy... I wonder what she was actually singing? I would suspect a warning, not a curse.

Back in the mid 19 century , a hurricane was rare and the strength being CATAGORY 4 was very unusual. Many people never say or lived through a storm that strong. A Cat 4 hurricane has 150 MPH winds so the debris and downed trees would be numbing to the senses.and tales would abound as to the causes of the destruction.

Actually hurricanes have been going on since the oceans formed and the weather conditions were favorable for it. There was Camille that was an extremely strong storm back in the 60’s if I recall correctly and the Galveston hurricane was the most deadly in the us and that was back around 1900

Thank-you as always 😊❤️

I've watched this on Netflix, it was a trilogy of incidents that happened in the past and l wanted to recommend to my friends but couldn't find it or even remember what they it was called, then this was now recommended for me to watch oh brilliant.

Tyvvm....I believe the song was a warning. She helped so many local people that didn't do any harm.

"I'm going to die and take the whole town with me" could happily mean they attend her funeral..

Omg your channel is amazing! Glad I found it!

There are righteous returns or curses as you call them. If you act in return, you are justified and receive no harm upon you. Madame could have very well brought the curse upon them and, based on the towns anti socalled black racist treatment of her and their disrespect Madame would have been justified.

Agreed fascinating story! Hope you do more like this. 🙂🙂

Thank you for this... Born and raised here in New Orleans. I have never heard if Madame Brown. Will definitely do further research on her and her life. ⚜😎

If she was well liked in the town then she wouldn't curse it. Definitely a warning and maybe she didn't know how just that it would be right after her death.

Simple and common things struck the town but people are so superstitious that everything happened is written of as a curse by local woman like always just to spice up tourist interest.

I believe she had a kind heart and the rumors were just gossip.

I just found this channel, and I love it!

My suspicion is that she was doing what most song writers do: writing about her feelings. To me it sounds like a woman who felt she was doing so much for the town and yet they didn't respect her for it. She probably felt like the town was going to die without her there to heal them and was mourning the lives that would be lost because she was dead

Note to self, listen to what elders say a little more closely! Humans have the innate ability to come up with wild explanations to things that are totally out of our control. Instead of a random natural disaster that took innocent lives, the citizens found something to blame it on. We still do it today. Usually with a more modern technological reason, but we still look for a meaning in randomness. Then again, maybe she had motivation we aren't aware of...that's what makes folk tales so captivating! Love it! Such an interesting story. Thank you for explaining the importance of the folk healer and not demonizing her gift of healing! Her practicing voodoo, even though it is still widely practiced, often puts people on edge due to the stigma it has. Great work!
