Episode 42: The Hanging Jail - a podcast by Big Easy Spirits

About four hours outside of New Orleans, DeRidder is home to an architecturally beautiful, yet insanely creepy Gothic jail. After a double execution in 1928, the jail is forever known as "The Hanging Jail." Learn the story of the gruesome 1926 murder of DeRidder taxi driver J. J. Brevelle at the hands of Joe Genna and Molton Brasseaux and the duo's 1928 hanging. 

Is the jail haunted? Would you take a nighttime lantern tour of the historic site?
