Voodoo Village is located on Mary Angela Road in southwest Memphis (USA). According to residents, the area is home to St. Paul's Spiritual Temple and is enclosed in a huge iron fence. But the legend suggests that something other than church services are taking place there. Reports of sacrificial offerings, black magic, and the walking dead suggest that Voodoo Village is ripe with supernatural activity. Rumors of animal sacrifices and strange masonic rituals make Voodoo Village one of the most enduring legends of haunted Memphis.
Known for generations to Haunted Memphis enthusiasts, many of whom have had strange experiences in or near the location, Voodoo Village is a rag-tag assortment of houses on a dead end road in a remote corner of southwest Memphis. It first gained attention in the early 1960’s when conflicts between gangs of white youths and the black residents of Voodoo Village made headlines. Ever since, Voodoo Village has been a site of many teen dares and initiations, and its reputation for weirdness has only grown over the years.
Several people have claimed to have witnessed residents of the Village sacrificing animals in these rituals – especially goats and dogs – and for a time there was a vigilante force in southwest Memphis solely to protect the pets of local residents.
