EP. 05| VOODOO OR LIES: CLEMENTINE BARNABET AND THE AXEMAN OF NEW ORLEANS

IN VOODOO OR LIES: Clementine Barnabet and the Axeman of New Orleans, WE’RE STEPPING INTO EARLY-1900s New Orleans WHEN FEAR WAS IN THE AIR, AXES WERE SWINGING, AND THE CITY WAS READY TO BLAME SOMEBODY.

WE’RE GETTING INTO WHO CLEMENTINE BARNABET WAS, WHAT SHE CONFESSED TO (AND WHAT PEOPLE SAY WAS COERCED), THE RUMORS AROUND THE Church of Sacrifice, King Harris, AND HOW ALL OF THIS COLLIDES WITH THE LEGEND OF THE Axeman of New Orleans — A CASE THAT STILL HAS Louisiana SIDE-EYEING ITS OWN HISTORY.

THIS EPISODE IS A MIX OF FACTS, CONTEXT, AND “ALLEGEDLY,” BECAUSE SOME OF THIS STORY LIVES IN RECORDS… AND SOME OF IT LIVES IN WHISPERS.

⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: VIOLENCE, MURDER, ENSLAVEMENT/RACIAL VIOLENCE CONTEXT, AND DISTURBING HISTORICAL THEMES.
