Today, her spirit has been seen wandering along the road on nights with a full moon, wielding shrunken heads and voodoo dolls, determined to bring bad luck to the town that betrayed her." According to The Marshall News Messenger, "the old, red dirt road was the main thoroughfare for stage coaches traveling between Shreveport and Marshall in the early to mid-1800s before the Civil War."
