A Cajun Christmas Tale

Highlights

Description

Dare to celebrate the holidays with a dark Cajun twist aboard the **Santa and The Rougarou’s Creepy Christmas Cruise and Haunted Trail** in the mysterious bayous of Mississippi. Hosted by *The Mystic Ghost Ride Company*, this one-of-a-kind evening adventure drifts through the haunted swamps near Pearlington under twinkling lights and tangled moss. Your storyteller, Mystic Molly, will guide you through tales of Santa’s darker side — from the Rougarou, the Cajun werewolf of Christmas lore, to Krampus himself waiting deep in the marsh. Glide past cypress trees draped in mist as ghost stories and legends rise from the dark water. Midway through, the boat stops for the **Haunted Trail**, where guests can walk among flickering torches to the **Creepy Camp** for bonfires, s’mores, and hot cocoa. Those feeling brave may meet Krampus at the old cemetery for the final tale of who’s been naughty or nice. Prefer to stay aboard? You can remain on the boat and soak in the eerie glow of the bayou while the others explore. With the sound of jingle bells mixed with distant howls, this haunted Christmas cruise is equal parts fright and festivity — perfect for spirited adventurers aged nine and up. Bring your camera, your courage, and maybe a little holiday rum to keep warm as you experience the South’s strangest Christmas story.
