People love telling stories about some of the scariest places in America— it's a tradition at campfires
and sleep overs all over America. While some stories, like Bigfoot, have entered mainstream pop
culture, others have stayed local, like the poisoned girl at Centennial Hall in Nebraska.
I wonder....what goes on in your state?? ~  |

KANSAS: The Devil's Chair  The chair is located in Alma Cemetery. The legend of the Devil's Chair goes like this: an old farmer in Alma refused to sell his land to the city in order to build a new cemetery. Someone got a little too tired of waiting for him to sell, so he was pushed into his own well. Eventually, someone said that there was a terrible smell coming from the well, so the city sent someone to investigate. It was ruled that the well was empty, and it was boarded up.
Now, if you make your way to Alma, you can actually sit on the boarded-up well, but legend says that people who have sat on the well have been known to mysteriously disappear. ~

Homey the clown is darnright scary looking. If I ever saw him, I would be quickly be gone in the opposite direction.
Not going to go to any cemetary to find out about when I die. I prefer not to know!
I have heard about the Black Angel before. Think I actually read about it in a fictional novel I was reading. I gues there is no law about putting an urban legend in a fictional novel if it adds to the story.
So sad that you can get murdered because you won't sell your land. Couldn't the town just have found a new location?

KENTUCKY: The Goat Man of Pope Lick  He's been spotted underneath this railroad trestle.
There's no clear consensus on how the Goat Man came to be — some say he was a circus freak, others say he was a farmer who tortured his goats for Satan, and in return was transformed into a hideous goat monster. However, everyone does agree on his appearance: dark fur, pale skin, goat legs, and horns.
The monster is said to hide under the bridge at Pope Lick Creek in Louisville and lure people onto the train tracks, only to see them be hit by oncoming trains.
Sadly, this urban legend has had some dangerous consequences. In 2016, an Ohio woman fell to her death from the bridge while looking for the Goat Man. ~

O wow. The Goat Man got what he deserved, poor lady who fell to her death though.
I never even heard about that one in Alma. It's probably in one of my books though

LOUISIANA: The Grunch  The Grunch make their home in East New Orleans. Grunch Road is an old dirt road that leads deep into the woods, and eventually to a dead end.
It was a favorite place for teenagers to go and do whatever teenagers do, until they learned the about the Grunch.
The Grunch are rumored to be a group of deformed half-human, half-monsters that resulted from years of isolation in the Louisiana bayous.
In the present day, it's said that if you find yourself on Grunch Road, don't get out of your car if you see a goat who looks injured. The stories say that the Grunch use goats to lure people out of their cars so they can eat them and drain their blood. ~

MAINE: The stain on Colonel Jonathan Buck's tomb  Buck's tomb is in the town bearing his name: Bucksport. Wikimedia Commons The tomb of of Colonel Jonathan Buck in Bucksport bears a mysterious leg-shaped stain. The story goes that Buck sentenced a woman to burn for witchcraft, and while she was burning, her leg rolled out of the fire. It's also been said that the witch cursed Buck's tomb to always bear a stain for this injustice. It is said that people have tried to get rid of this stain twice, but the stain keeps reappearing. ~ |

A goatman. I wonder if he just had the misfortune of being deformed and the rest of his appearance has just been added to by the superstitous.
The bayou picture looks enchanting, but I'll stay away - don't want to run into those Grunges!
I think Jonathan Buck's tomb is a good reminder for people not to get caught up in a witch burning hysteria again.

MARYLAND: Chessie the Chesapeake Bay monster  Does a sea monster really live in the Chesapeake Bay? Chessie sightings have been around since the 1930s, but really started to pick up steam in the '80s, when photographic evidence became more readily available. Chessie is said to resemble a snake, measure around 30 feet long, and is the approximate thickness of a telephone pole.
There haven't been any recorded attacks from Chessie, but a 30-foot-long snake does not sound like something most people would want to run into. |

MASSACHUSETTS: The spirits of Hoosac Tunnel  The tunnel took 24 years to complete. Doug Kerr In the 24-year-long construction of the Hoosac Tunnel in western Massachusetts, approximately 200 men died. Death was so associated with the tunnel that it was actually nicknamed "The Bloody Pit."
After a particularly gruesome explosion in either 1867 or 1868, 13 miners were trapped inside the tunnel. The other workers assumed that the miners had died, but eventually it was discovered the miners had lived, built a raft to combat flooding, and eventually died due to poisonous gas inhalation.
It's said that these 13 miners haunted the tunnel for years, moaning and briefly appearing as ghosts.
