Hoodoo Tongue Found in New Orleans Tomb Believed Hoodoo Fetish
In New Orleans the old St Louis Cemetery yielded a deer tongue wrapped in white thread and studded with pins and needles. An assistant sexton removed the artifact from a low brick tomb near Conti Street, sparking fear among two local girls and sparking talk of hoodoo magic. A prior incident involved a dead stuffed cat with $250, and a photo left in a tomb, all tied to alleged conjuring practices.
