The Lost Treasure of Jean Lafitte

Jean Laffite was a privateer and smuggler who is best known for taking a little break from pillaging, to fight for the United States in defence of New Orleans in the War of 1812. But Jean was a pirate at heart. Right after this he went back to his pirating ways, and he made quite a bit of money. Local lore tells that Jean did not put his treasure in a bank, or spend it all before he died. It is believed that Jean buried a large treasure trove somewhere in the Bayous of Louisiana, or along the United States Gulf Coast.

So get ready my spooky friends…you are about to hear the story of Jean Laffite and his buried treasure.
