Le Fou Follet: The Cajun Swamp Fairies
Ash introduces Le Fou Follet, mysterious lights from Louisiana bayous also known as Cajun or swamp fairies. These entities appear as flickering balls of light ranging from quarter-size to cantaloupe-size, dancing along tree lines in the darkness. While initially seen as good omens, they're actually malevolent forces that lure unsuspecting victims into the swamps to their deaths.
- Le Fou Follet translates from French as 'marsh fire' or 'crazy fire'
- The lights appear as balls ranging from quarter-size to cantaloupe-size that flicker like candle flames
- These entities mask themselves as what victims want to see—loved ones, help, or treasure—but lead people to death
" They are masking as such and are in fact there to lure you into the swamps to your fucking death "
