The Night That Changed Everything: A Voodoo Video Gone Wrong
It was supposed to be just another fun night in with friends, but for three young women in New Orleans, things took a terrifying turn they’ll never forget. What started as a casual evening of watching YouTube videos about voodoo quickly spiraled into something sinister—leaving them frightened, shaken, and questioning whether the spirit world had crossed over into theirs.
Meet the Girls
Emily, Tasha, and Jessica were your typical social media-savvy twenty-somethings. They lived together in an old, creaky apartment in the heart of New Orleans, Louisiana—a city known for its rich history, spiritual traditions, and, of course, its voodoo culture. New Orleans is a place where the line between the living and the dead often feels blurred. But none of them had ever really believed in the supernatural—until that fateful night.
It all started on a lazy Friday evening. The three girls had ordered pizza, grabbed some snacks, and were scrolling through YouTube looking for something to watch. Jessica, always the adventurous one, suggested, “Hey, why don’t we check out some voodoo videos? We live in New Orleans after all—it’s practically part of our culture!”
Emily and Tasha laughed nervously but agreed. What harm could it do, right?
The Video That Changed Everything
They came across a video titled “The Power of Voodoo: Summoning Spirits in Your Home”. The thumbnail alone was creepy enough, showing an old, dimly lit altar with candles, strange symbols, and offerings. The girls clicked play, not knowing that this one decision would change the course of their night.
The video started harmlessly enough, with a narrator explaining the history of voodoo and its origins in New Orleans. But about halfway through, things started to get strange. The narrator’s tone changed, and the camera zoomed in on a voodoo doll while eerie chants began playing in the background. The chants were rhythmic and unsettling, filling the room with a heavy, uneasy feeling.
As the video continued, the narrator urged viewers to chant along with the video to “feel the power” of voodoo. The girls giggled nervously but didn’t join in. They paused the video and joked about how “weird” it was, but none of them could shake the strange feeling that had settled over the room.
What they didn’t realize was that something had already begun.
Eerie Voices in the Dark
The first sign that something was wrong came later that night. The girls had brushed off the weirdness of the video and gone to bed. But around 2:00 a.m., Emily woke up to the sound of faint whispering. She thought it was just Tasha or Jessica talking in their sleep. But as she listened closer, she realized the whispers weren’t coming from her roommates—they were coming from the living room.
She shook it off, thinking maybe one of them had left the TV on, and decided to check it out. But when she opened her door, the whispers stopped. The living room was dark, and the TV was off. Confused but too tired to care, Emily went back to bed, unaware that this was just the beginning.
Things Start to Move
The next morning, Tasha was the first to mention something strange. “Did either of you go into the living room last night?” she asked over breakfast. Both Emily and Jessica shook their heads. “That’s weird,” Tasha said. “I could’ve sworn I heard someone out there.”
As they talked, they started noticing other strange things around the apartment. The curtains that were usually tied back had been mysteriously pulled down, swaying slightly even though the windows were closed. A chair in the corner of the room had been knocked over, and no one remembered moving it.
“Okay, this is getting creepy,” Jessica said, trying to laugh it off. “Maybe the wind knocked the chair over?”
But deep down, none of them really believed that.
The Night It All Fell Apart
That night, things escalated. Around midnight, the girls were sitting in the living room, too creeped out to go to bed after what had happened earlier. They tried to distract themselves by watching funny videos, but the atmosphere in the room was tense. Then, without warning, they all heard it—the sound of water running in the bathroom.
The girls exchanged nervous glances. “Did one of you leave the sink on?” Jessica asked. But they all knew no one had been in the bathroom.
Slowly, they approached the bathroom door. The sound of flushing echoed from inside. When Emily opened the door, the bathroom was empty, but the toilet was flushing on its own. The girls stood frozen in the doorway, too scared to move.
As they stood there, a cold breeze swept through the room, sending the curtains fluttering even though the windows were shut. And then they heard it—faint at first, but unmistakable. The same chanting from the YouTube video began to fill the room, coming from somewhere they couldn’t see.
Terrified, the girls ran out of the apartment, not caring where they were going as long as they were away from whatever was happening inside. They spent the night at a friend’s place, too shaken to talk about what they had experienced.
The Aftermath
The next day, they returned to the apartment cautiously. Nothing seemed out of place, but the eerie feeling lingered. They agreed never to speak of the video again, but the memory of that night haunted them for weeks. None of them ever felt safe in that apartment again.
Some people might say it was all just a coincidence, but the girls knew better. Something had been stirred that night—something they didn’t understand and couldn’t control. Whether it was the power of the voodoo chants or their minds playing tricks on them, one thing was certain: they would never watch another video like that again.
