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?? ~  |

An interesting legend but I think it was spawned by a bit too much drinking long ago ... LOL

NEW MEXICO: La Mala Hora  The legend originated in Mexico. La Mala Hora, which translates to The Evil Hour, is an entity that you don't want to run into on a dark road. Legend says that at first, it appears as a ball of black energy, constantly moving and changing its size and shape. If you look at it, it will drive you insane and will slowly kill you.
At other times, it appears as a scary-looking woman. It's said that if you see her at a crossroads, you or someone in your family will die. ~

A very real monster is more sinister.

NORTH CAROLINA: The beast of Bladenboro  Most people have been convinced the beast was a particularly large bobcat. In the 195os, multiple dogs were found dead and drained of blood in the North Carolina town of Bladenboro. People believed that there was a vampiric beast in the woods, an they tried to hunt the animal.
Today, the town of Bladenboro has embraced their history, and actually holds a Beast Fest every year. But it's never been confirmed exactly what was stalking their town.
Note: Anything is a good enough excuse for a festival. Don't you just love it? I do. Foxy |

NORTH DAKOTA: White Lady Lane  The road runs through Tetrault Woods. The story of White Lady Lane is a tragic one. The legend states that a young woman became pregnant out of wedlock, and her religious parents forced her to marry the father. The baby ended up dying after their wedding. The girl, so upset about her baby and her forced marriage, hung herself from a bridge in her wedding dress. Locals claim to still see her ghost hanging from the bridge. ~

Very sad and very likely to be true.

Yes, very sad and it probably is true ... parents controlling their daughter with a tragic result.

So sad, we still see evidence of controlling parents in certain religions.

OHIO: The werewolf of Defiance.  This person makes a pretty convincing werewolf. During the summer of 1972, the people of Defiance claimed they were being terrorized by a werewolf. The sightings always happened at night, generally by the train tracks. A couple of women said it would try to get into their houses by rattling the doorknobs. The animal was said to be huge, hairy, and dressed in rags.
But after summer ended, the beast disappeared, never to be heard from again. But the story lingers. ~ |

Yeah...they would be stupid to advance on Area 51 but I do think there are secrets there. I agree, any alien civilization would have wiped us out or whatever a long time ago and if they have the technology to come here than we certainly do not have any kind of technology that they would be concerned with us having. I think there are probably weapons advancements going on maybe, military stuff. I do believe there is other life out there of course and they probably have been here and may still be here, who knows, but they are not concerned about us and we are probably very violent, undeveloped and quite boring to them. Now what's REALLY going on with Area 51...and i get so tired of talking about it, it's quite painful....that is where they took Sandra when they took her from me and there is some incredible technology there that they hooked her up in to wipe her memory of anything related to me....memories, our relationship, yadda yadda yadda (tears...sniffle) so that's why we're not together any longer and I would appreciate it if we could quit talking about it as it is VERY hard on me......thank you.

OKLAHOMA: The mysterious Shaman's portal  The "portal" is located in Beaver Dunes Park. The mysterious occurrences in Beaver Dunes Park have been attributed to the fact that it was built upon ancient Native American burial grounds — which is why it's called the Shaman's portal. It's also known as the Oklahoma Bermuda Triangle.
Mysterious things have happened in the park, starting with the Spanish conquistadors who went missing while searching for gold in the 1500s. Since then paranormal activity seekers flock to the the dunes. Some people claim that a UFO crashed there, and a group in the '90s who tested the soil said it was abnormal. ~

OREGON: The Bandage Man of Cannon Beach  Cannon Beach is a beautiful place.
The Bandage Man is the American version of a mummy. He is rumored to be the ghost of a logger who died in a sawmill accident, and now terrorizes teenagers who hang out at a deserted area of a highway near Cannon Beach. Stories say that he knocks on car windows to try and get in and smells really, really bad. ~ |
