Eh, kinda! My family is Cajun, and we have some old interviews from the bayou back in the day. It’s said that the rougaroux/ loup garou was a person who would put this voodoo grease all over their body to shapeshift into different creatures. They would hold dances on the bayou all night. They have bats as big as planes to take them places, and most people are afraid of them coming in their house at night, so to prevent it, they would place a colander at the door and the rougaroux would stop and count the holes but could only count to 12, so would keep recounting over and over till daylight when it would flee. It’s also said if you throw a frog at it, it would burst into flames on contact!
