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?? ~  |

MINNESOTA: The Kensington runestone  The stone is displayed in Alexandria, MN. Wikimedia Commons In 1898, a Swedish-American farmer found a gigantic slab of rock on his farm that had symbols that appeared to be Norse. And since then, no one has figured out where it came from.
While official historians have debunked that the Vikings made an appearance in North America before Columbus did, the myth has persisted. And, if it wasn't the Vikings, who did leave this mysterious rock? And what does it say? ~ |

MISSISSIPPI: Deer Island's haunted treasure  Deer Island is just off the coast of Mississippi. The Ghost of Deer Island originates from an old pirate story. The story says that back in the 1920s, two men were fishing on Deer Island when they heard rustling in the bushes, which they assumed was wild hogs. Eventually, they decided to check it out and encountered a headless skeleton. They ran back to their boat, and the skeleton followed them all the way there.
According to the pirate story, there was a ship that sailed into Biloxi Bay and buried their treasure on Deer Island. The crew decided to behead one of their own, and left his body behind to guard their treasure. ~

MISSOURI: Momo the Missouri Monster  Momo was first spotted in Louisiana, and then moved north. Momo is Missouri's version of Bigfoot/Sasquatch. He's been said to have terrible body odor, a pumpkin-shaped head, and eats dogs. In 1968, Momo allegedly tried to abduct a four-year-old boy, though no evidence was ever found. ~ |

MONTANA: The story of Sacrifice Cliff  Seen here in 2016, the cliff looks out over Billings, MT. Lecture Fan/YouTube The story of Sacrifice Cliff comes from an old Native American legend. Two members of the Crow Tribe arrived in their village from a trip to find that almost everyone there had been infected with smallpox and died. So heartbroken about the loss of their loved ones, the two decided to blindfold their horses and ride off of the cliff to join the tribe on the other side.
Sacrifice Cliff is visible from almost anywhere in Billings, so it's sad (and a bit spooky) to think about this story while the cliff is looming over the entire city. ~ |

NEBRASKA: The poisoned girl at Centennial Hall  Located in Valentine, NE, the building is now a museum When INSIDER chose the most haunted place in each state, Centennial Hall was a no-brainer. People claim that there are multiple ghosts roaming the halls.
But the creepiest story of Centennial Hall originates in the 1940s, when it used to be a high school. The story says that a student was playing her clarinet, suffered a heart attack and died — because her reed was poisoned. Now, people claim to feel cold spots, hear disembodied music, and to have witnessed an empty rocking chair start to rock. ~

NEVADA: The truth about Area 51  Entrance to Area 51. There is perhaps no urban legend, myth, or conspiracy theory more famous than Nevada's Area 51, a mysterious government facility that is rumored to be associated with aliens. The US government officially states that Area 51 is classified due to national security, which only fuels the fire.
The secrecy surrounding Area 51 is what makes it inherently creepy, and with the government admitting to a program investigating UFOs, the theories about what's actually going on inside continue to become more plausible. |

So what do you all think is in there? I ask because I've yet to be convinced of flying saucers or alien invasions although I AM convinced that we are not the only planet with life as we know it. However we know because of our own space exploration that any such planets would be light years away.

Mike, it turned out to be a spoof ... they are not going to storm Area 51 because they would be shot.
No need to worry about an alien invasion, Vicky ... any advanced beings that are capable of intergalactic travel have evolved far beyond violence. Plus if they were going to invade they would not have waited for Earthling governments to develop so many weapons of mass destruction!

Any kind of 'bunch' would be a bunch of fools to try to storm Area 51. The US Army would come down on them with their full fighting force with aircraft, tanks and everything they have at their disposal, which is everything
I so agree with Rick's assessment of this.

NEW HAMPSHIRE: The witch of Hampton, Goody Cole  Her real name was Eunice Cole Eunice "Goody" Cole was the only woman in New Hampshire history to be tried for witchcraft — multiple times. Her first charge was in 1656, and was charged again in 1671.
When she died and when her body was recovered, the townspeople were rumored to have to staked her through the heart to prevent her from haunting their town.
People continue to blame Goody Cole for the misfortunes of Hampton citizens for the past 300 years. For example, a boat full of Hampton residents overturned, and everyone on board drowned, even though they were in swimming distance of shore. People blamed Goody Cole for the crash and for cursing the passengers by having them forget how to swim. ~ |

Read them all since I last visited here and have a few comments.
Why did those Natives have to sacrafice their horses as well.
A Sasquatch that smells - one to stay well away from.
Glad I was never a student at that school!
Rick, I agree with you about no need to fear invasion.
Superstition can be a very bad thing. Poor Goody is now to be eternally blamed for everything bad that ever happens around there.

NEW JERSEY: The Jersey Devil  A well-known rendering of the creature. The story of the Jersey Devil has been around since the 1700s. The legend states that a woman named Mother Leeds became pregnant with her 13th child, and said "Let this one be [a/the] devil." Once the child was born, it grew hooves, wings, horns, and a tail.
Now, the monster has been spotted periodically throughout history in the Pine Barrens region of New Jersey. The state has embraced the legend so much that they named their hockey team after it.
