It's a pretty cool list. These guys do a nice job. So this one's from Montana all the way through Wyoming. Enjoy the spooky season. Montana a prison with a horrible past. The old Montana State Prison was decommissioned in the late seventies, and if you ask some locals, they may say it had something to do with the hauntings inside the prison walls. According to Haunted Hovel, the prison was never an ideal place, even as far as prisons go. It suffered overcrowding problems from the beginning, and this was during the Wild West days following the Civil War, when conditions in general weren't favorable. It was underfunded, lacking in beds for inmates, and dirty, not the type of place you'd want to send anyone who wasn't your worst enemy. As you might expect, these conditions led to riots, inmate takeovers, and unusually high death tolls. Now many believe this prison is haunted by the angry inmates who lost their lives on the grounds, and given the conditions in treatment at the facility, any spirit hanging around would have to be angry. It now serves as a museum where some visitors have claimed to have been attacked by spirits, while others see apparitions, aperations, excuse me, or feel heavy unnerving presences. Nebraska a teacher with a taste for murder. Being a teacher has to be a fairly difficult job. Let's face it, school children can be real jerks sometimes, and the gig requires you to deal with the less than pleasant parents that often accompany these kids. That, of course, wouldn't necessarily drive a normal teacher to murder, even if they've thought about it a time or two. But then again, the teacher from this Nebraskan myth couldn't have been exactly normal, now, could he. As the story goes according to only in your State, a teacher had been going about the usual teaching business one day in the early nineteen hundreds at one of these classic one room schoolhouses in the town of Portal, out of nowhere, and nobody seems to know I know exactly what caused this. The teacher became enraged. Moving to the doors, she barred the exits. Then she grabbed a hatchet and methodically murdered her pupils, decapitating them and placing their heads on the desks. In some versions, when the teacher snapped out of it, she was torn with grief, so she gathered up the freshly murdered children's hearts, which every iteration of the legend says she'd cut out, and tossed them off a nearby bridge, where it is said you can still hear them beating today. Nevada watch your kidneys. Nevada is fairly is a fairly diverse state. You have the rural desert areas with their own myths and legends, and then you have Las Vegas. Okay, maybe it's not that diverse. The legends from rural areas tend to be relatively old. But the cool thing about a popular tourist location like Vegas is that they have myths forming all the time. This one can be traced back to the nineties. It might make you think twice about visiting Sin City. If you find yourself alone in a bar in Las Vegas, you might want to call a friend to keep you companies so you don't lose any body parts. Throughout the night, as a Las Vegas Sun explains. Rumors of people having their kidneys stolen from them haven't just plagued Las Vegas, but numerous other cities as well. This is how the myth says it happens. You sit alone at one of the many bars in sin City where you meet an attractive person. The two of you share some good conversations and way too many drinks, then you black out when you awaken. If you awaken, you'll be lying in a bathtub filled with ice and have a large surgical incision in your torso, and you'll be short one kidney. New Hampshire a species of devil monkeys. I don't trust monkeys. Don't trust them. There are many areas with their own cryptids. Some of them are surprisingly well known throughout the world, such as the Lockness Monster, Bigfoot, the Yetty, etc. And a number of them tend to fall into one of two categories, the serpent or the primate. New Hampshire's Danville devil monkey is certainly the latter. Danville is located in the hilly south of the state, just above its southern border, and it's believed to be the home to a unique primate. The devil monkey, as the Sentinel Hill Press notes, is an ape like beast that lives in the woods and comes out every so often to wreak havoc. This odd and terrifying creature was allegedly reported to be around a dozen locals in two thousand and one, but according to the Seacoast Online, it turned out to simply be an escaped exotic pret or so they believed. Of course, that doesn't explain the devil monkey. Sightings throughout the state's history, which Strange New England says, include descriptions of giant baboons with pointed ears, raizor claws, and the snouts of dogs. Since the two thousand and one monkey was reportedly never caught, how do we know for sure it wasn't a devil monkey New Jersey, we all know what's coming the state's most famous cryptid. Probably the best known legend from the state of New Jersey is that of the Jersey Devil or Jersey Beast. The cryptid itself is said to be a horrifying sight, but it's the beast origin that's truly creepy. The Jersey Devil, as Pineland's Alliance explains, has been around for more than two and a half centuries, terrorizing the state's pinelands. The beast is said to appear as a terrifying amalgamation of animals, with the head of a dog, the face of a horse, wings of a bat, a tail and horns, and the kangaroo like posture with which it holds itself. The creature would surely leave anyone shaking. But the beast is also rumored to be the child of the devil. Centuries ago, a woman by the name of Missus Leeds was pregnant with her thirteenth child, having too many mouths to feed as it was, and desperately upset to be giving birth to yet another Excuse me, she cried, let it be the devil, and out pop the Jersey Beast. After exiting Missus Leeds's womb, the baby demon shot out of an open windo and disappeared into a nearby swamp to terrorize the state's inhabitants for years. In years to come, over a New Mexico, a shape shifting demon. Those are never good in New Mexico lives a demon straight out of your worst nightmares. The story is told all the way from this state's state to parts of Mexico proper, so its history is a long one, making La Mala Hoa the Bad Hour, a demon of the old world. I probably butchered that as I do. According to Sikh's Ghosts, the demon is a shape shifter that appears where roads intersect in the middle of the night, scary for kids, says. The demon can take on a multi to forms, but is usually seen as a rapidly changing black lump or a woman of the wickedest constitution. It will appear to drivers who are traveling by their lonesome, jumping out in front of the cars in a female form. One of the more popular stories sailing around the Internet claims that a woman was driving cross country when a frightening female figure jumped in front of her car, causing her to screech to a halt. When the driver looked around, she didn't see the woman at first, but soon noticed her at the passenger side window. Its face was clearly demonic, sharpened fangs, red eyes, the works, and her hands held terrible claws which she used to strike at the window. The terrified lady drove hard and fast, but the demon followed, with these growing gigantic as she did so. Somehow the driver got away from this powerful creature unharmed, or so the story says, New York a myth to scare campers into good behavior. Some of the myths and legends out there exist solely for the purpose of fun, to scare the Bejesus out of a campfire gathering, or perhaps lift spirits, but other myths are designed with a specific purpose in mind. The tale of the Cropsy Maniac, which is commonly told at the summer camps in the state of New York, has its beginnings as a camp story meant to keep kids from getting criminally out of hand and bringing a bad name to the camps. As one scholar at the University of Missouri tells it, the common version goes a little something like this. A respectable man, a real member of the community type, living right outside the property of a camp, was driven insane after a group of kids burned his house down. His child and wife both died in the fire. Naturally, the type of insanity that affected the unlucky man made him vicious and vengeful. He begins stalking camps and murdering campers, making sure to leave messages burned into their skin. So the rest of the kids would know this was his work down south to North Carolina, where the devil goes for strolls. If all the miss in urban legends from around the country are true, the devil must be a very busy entity. Wherever you look, someplace has a portal to Hell or a chair that Satan frequents. But it's the beautiful coastal state of North Carolina where the Devil is said to have taken his nightly strolls. This myth, according to WRL, was around before the US was even a country. The legend says that Satan comes to Earth every night and either tramps around or dances in a very specific circular patch of forest about fifty miles south of Greensboro. Now, the devil dancing probably isn't the creepiest legend on its own, but there's a phenomena at the Devil's tramping Grounds, as the circle is called, that turns some skeptics into believers. The circle of the Devil's Tramping Grounds is only fifteen feet wide, and since as far back as the eighteen eighties, it's been almost entirely barren. The few sprigs of grass that grow there are set to grow abnormally. Ncpedia even says the locals have tried transplanting the wiry grass to other locations, but the cursed blades refuse to grow. North Dakota a monster that'll drive you insane. There are almost as many myths about monsters in the waters of the United States as there are about the cryptids on land. But unless you're from one of the locations in which they reside, where you just really love cryptids, there's a good chance you've never heard of them. And the legend of the mini Washatu living in the Missouri River at the border of North Dakota is one such beast. According to a legend derived and twisted from an old Dakota's story via Ghosts of North Dakota, the mini Washatu lives below the water's surface and rarely breaches into sight. You should be glad for this if you ever visit the area, because the last person to see it was supposedly driven mad and died within days of the encounter. The man rambled long enough to give a description of the creature. It is said to be large, looking like a red stroke of fire as it swims through the depths, but when seen clearly. Its body is covered with red fur, thickness and texture of a bison's, a single giant horn on its head, a fin like a massive saw down its back, and a single eye in the middle of its face. The eyewitness died not long after he recounted what he saw. Moving on to the beautiful state of Ohio where I reside, I wear wolf on the loose. Ghost stories, connections to Hell, and tales of demons tend to dominate the local myths of the United States. You'll find stories of sea monsters and curses as well. But one mythological creature you rarely hear about in earnest is the werewolf in twelfth century Europe. Sure, but thanks to Hollywood, few people still believe in the beast of stories that haunted humans past. That is, of course, unless you live around Defiance, Ohio. In nineteen seventy two, The Toledo Blade ran a story about an investigation into werewolf sightings by the Defiance police via crypto kid. This wouldn't have happened if a single craze person called in a werewolf complaint, but there were several. As cl Weekend explains, the first was a pair of railroad road workers who claimed to have been attacked by a towering werewolf while working in the middle of the night. The odd part about this story is that the beast use a club instead of fangs and claws for some reason. Now, a different railway worker ended up calling in a werewolf incident not long after the first report. The next sighting came when a driver caught the creature in their headlights a week later. Due to the sheer number of reports, the police had to figure out what they were dealing with, But as soon as the article was published about their investigation, the werewolf panic broke out in the area. Of course, the reported creature wasn't found. Sounds like a guy in a suit running around. That's just me. Oklahoma a portal in the Panhandle. The myth of Shaman's Portal, located amidst the dunes of Beaver Dunes Park in Oklahoma's Panhandle, begins hundreds of years ago with the Spanish explorer who was searching the American West. According to Jean Marie Bajas boh Huh, a writer with a passion for the supernatural and other eclectic things. This explorer, Francisco Vasquez de Corona was taking part in some odd military excavations in the middle of the night in search of gold. Ignoring device of his indigenous guides, he brought his men out to the sand dunes, where he watched them disappear in flashes of weird green lightning. This location is still known as Oklahoma's Bermuda Triangle. As one O six point three the Buzz tells it, the site is believed to have a strange high number of disappearance dating all the way back to the fifteen hundreds when Coronado and his men first experienced Shawman's portal in action. No one seemed to know where this portal takes its victims or what it actually is, knowledge likely lost with the stripping of Indigenous American culture, but some people truly believe the dunes are the sight of a wrecked alien spacecraft that's been causing strange happenings from beneath the sands. Oregon Cursed to burn, There are a couple myths that serve as the origin for a single outcome in Lafayette, Oregon. The first, as green Lettuce explains, says Aroma woman laid a curse on the town, supposedly a mother and son killed their mother's boyfriend. The son was then put to death, but as he was hanged, the mother cursed the town, saying it would burn down three times. Another version of this myths says it a witch was hanged in the town cemetery sometime in the eighteen hundreds for you know, being a witch and all that, and this telling it's a witch's curse that will burn the town down three times. Whichever story is at the true root of the curse doesn't matter as long as the myth of the curse exists. You'll hear people say in the area and they'll claim that the town has already burned twice. But according to New Lafayette dot org's collection of old newspaper headlines, the town has already had several major fires that took out multiple buildings. So maybe there's some merit to this curse. After all, this is a pretty cool one. Moving on to Pennsylvania, a bus to Nowhere. Grief is one of the hardest human emotions to go through. Nothing you do or other people do for you seems to lift the weight of whatever tragedy put you in that dark place. But on the other end of the spectrum. There are certainly things that can make your grief worse, like being abducted indefinitely. Queue the bus to nowhere huh huh. There's a myth in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, regarding a phantom bus that only shows itself to those in the most pain. According to where wolfs dot com, maybe they're suffering from the loss of a job or a loved one, or maybe they were just served of hoorce papers or learned of a cancer diagnosis. Whatever the case may be, those who wander the streets of Philly under the haze of grief will see the bus to Nowhere. On the bus, it's quiet, singers stare off, consumed by their own personal hell. Time doesn't seem to move. Those who escape their time on the bus don't tend to remember many details, like how long they were on the bus or who was driving the bus. The bus can hold its passengers for mere hours or for years. That's if it allows you to escape at all. Some on the bus are said to ride it through eternity, locked within a dreadful sense of despair over to Rhode Island. The real freddy Krueger. Freddy Krueger is one of the world's most notorious and flavorful cinematic horror characters. He's as recognizable as Jason Vorhees and Michael Myers. A Nightmare on Elm Street kicked off an unnecessarily long franchise because it was a decidedly chilling flick for its time. But how much scarier would it have been if there was a real life creature like Krueger roaming the night? Some believe there is. The New England Legends podcast describes the myth of a man known as Fingernail Freddy. While he doesn't have metal knives at the tips of his fingers, he does have natural ones. The man monster lives in the woods around Cumberland, Rhode Island and prays on similar victims to that of his on screen counterpart children. The myth predates Freddy Krueger by at least thirty years, so the crossover is unlikely to be intentional. Figernail Freddy hates people, especially children, and spends his life as a recluse to avoid them, but when campers make too much ruckus at night, it draws Freddie in. This is bad news for the children, as few of them are likely to survive and encounter with the hermit down to South Carolina, taking your breath away. The islands in southern coast of South Carolina have an awesome local culture, the Gula people according to only in your state. They're South Carolina Creole if you will, and have a diverse heritage, much of it from Africa. Unfortunately, you never know what creatures of legends might be stalking any given locale. One that for sure lives on in the minds of locals at least, is the myth of the Boo Hag. The Boo Hag in essence, is kind of like a succubus or incubus, and it feeds off your life force, but it's a bit meaner since you don't ever get the good time along with your early death. The creature or spirit, depending on whom you ask, sneaks into your home at night and searches for your sleeping body. Once it finds you, it climbs into your chest and begins to drain your life force by sucking it and the air from your lungs. It should eventually fill up, but that doesn't mean it'll leave you alone just yet. The Boo Hag instead slips into your sleeping and draining, drained body, settling in for the night to use you as a muse of some sort, leaving only as the morning dawns, and taking some days away from your time on Earth. It's like the old hag huh up next South Dakota, a spirit causes suicides. The legend of the slender Man really gained in popularity throughout the early twenty tens before dropping off, But in that short amount of time it did some legitimate damage. As MPR explains, two high school girls in Wisconsin actually murdered a peer because they believed that stabbing the girl would make them servants of the weird Internet myth, thus saving their own families. But there's believed to be a different slender Man type being in South Dakota responsible for way more deaths, in this case by suicide. Much like slender Man. According to Hot one O four zero point seven, Walking Sam is a tall, thin spirit U don't want to meet. The Pine Ridge Reservation has gone through a serious wave of teenage suicides in attempts in recent years. Much of this has to do with issues affecting the Indigenous population who live there, but some claim this is the work of Walking Sam. As opposed to Uncle Sam. Teens report this being showing up to talk to them, talk them into taking their own lives. And it's not a new legend. The being has been around in local indigenous culture for years. Please this is important. If you or anyone you know is having suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at one eight hundred two seventy three. Talk. That's one eight hundred two seven three eight two five five. Now, slender Man always makes me think of Tulpa's or Tulpa's or enough power and belief in one, like a fake entity or a made up story, like giving it enough energy and power from enough people that it could actually exist. And for me, it's as simple as giving you know, I don't try to give energy or power to anything that would be evil. I mean, fear is a motivator in that, I think, so fight the fear. Don't give evil power. Good thoughts Man, Good thoughts up. Next, tennessee a haunted boy in the mirror. This is going to be kind of like bloody Mary. Maybe the effects of bullying are monumental. The harm is serious, and sometimes it lasts long after our spirits have left our bodies, whether only in myth or in reality. It really depends on who you ask, and if you were to discuss the topic with locals near Jamestown, Tennessee, they might just tell you where you can figure it out for yourself. The old Pine Haven School is a creepy site to behold on the best of days and without the knowledge you're about to learn. But as the story goes detailed by Urban Legends online, the decommissioned schoolhouse is home to a tragic tale and a deadly spirit. Supposedly, a nerdy boy was in the bathroom one day and he was jumped by a group of bullies. He was washing his hands and mining his own business, which unfortunately didn't make him invisible from the gaze of kids who took pleasure in causing harm to those they deemed weak. That's why you always fight people always fight back. The bullies likely didn't mean to kill him, but during their teasing, they shoved the kid into the mirror. It broke, sending a shard of glass into his neck, and he bled out. With a dead schoolmate on their hands. They had no choice but to hide his body in the floorboards to escape their deeds. It's said that if you look in the school's bathroom mirror, the boy appears behind you and shoves you to a similar fate. Now they say everything's bigger in Texas, but this is an out of this world experience. Ghost stories are so common in Texas that you can't step on a stone that's not haunted. Because of their frequency within local culture, it's unlikely a ghost really counts creepy anymore, but the state has more than ghost stories. This legend goes back more than one hundred and twenty years, according to Kera News, and it's still believed by many to this very day. On the morning of April seventeenth, eighteen ninety seven, this is one of my favorite UFO stories. A small vessel fell from the sky, crashing through a windmill before exploding in this small town of Aurora, near Fort Worth. Since airplanes weren't invented yet, this was even more of an unexpected site for the locals. Inside the vessel, which was said to have been shaped like a cigar, was an unlucky alien visitor. Now, the townspeople believe that the being had come from mars An. Aurora it was a good Christian town where even Martians weren't exempt from their God's grace, so they took the mangled body of the extraterrestrial and buried it in a local cemetery with full Christian rites. If the myth is to be believed, then we're far from alone in the universe. That's a really good story. Check it out. If you've not heard of that one before, it's pretty common. Do you find it out there? On a net Utah curse for stealing fossils. One thing you'll notice at national and state parks known for their fossils is a clearly posted rule telling you to leave said fossils where they are or face a fine. They're there for everyone to enjoy, and if people keep stuffing them in their pockets, the fossil spring will eventually run dry. Escalante Petrified Forest State Park definitely has a similar rule to the others, but they also have one thing more, a curse. SKSL News points out not only the locals, but visitors in general are usually aware of the myth at the Petrified Forest, though you might not be. It's a simple one that says the area is affected by some ancient curse, and stealing any piece of the park's petrified wood takes the curse home with you. Most report minor things like terrible strokes of bad luck or strings of accidents. The majority of people who steal from the park believe the myth is only superstition, but the park's mailbox is always overflowing with packages from those who decided otherwise. After the curse sets in, those unlucky thieves send their chunks back to the park as fast as possible, usually with an apology. Vermont a specter falling to their death. Insane asylums pepper the beginning of any good urban myth, with a touch of creepy spice, bringing with it a sense of derangement that adds just a few more chills to your spine as the story progresses. This myths starts out much the same in the Battle Burrow Retreat, as Only in Your State explains, began as the Vermont Asylum for the Insane in eighteen thirty four. That's an old one. The thousand Acre Mental Health and Treatment Facility treated patients with mental health issues and later addiction in issues. For the most part, the facility, which still operates, is quite nice and preaches a philosophy of humane treatment for their patients, something old asylums weren't actually known for. But on the grounds of this near paradise in comparison to other mental health facilities, is a building with a sinister look. Back. In eighteen eighty seven, a large retreat tower was built using labor from the patients, under the assumption that it would be good for their progress. It's a creepy looking thing. Soon after it was finished, as is said, the patients began to use the tower as a convenient place to end their lives. The number of people who've jumped has been well guarded, but many in the areas say you can still watch a lingering soul reenact their deadly jump, vanishing just before they reached the ground. Next up, Virginia, Beware of the bunny Man. Unlike our patients from the Vermont myth, this creature in Virginia was less concerned with his own demised demise and more with the deaths of others. As wa Mu eighty eight point five tells it, an old asylum was closed down in nineteen oh four because the nearby residents didn't want to be that close to a building full of people deemed insane and potentially dangerous. The patients were being taken by bus to another facility when the vehicle had an unfortunate accident and one of the patients, Douglas Griffin, escaped. Soon after, local folk started finding rabbit carcasses littering the woods. Griffin had been surviving on the animals halsent theefah bugs bunny reference an escaped mental patient eating rabbits. Rabbits isn't scary, but he didn't stop with hunting rabbits. A group of kids were reportedly hanging out at a bridge near the forest when a bright light shined and stunned them. The next time the children were seen, they'd been strung up on the bridge, gutted like dressed rabbits. Of course, like any legend, this one has gone through a serious game of telephone, so you can find several different variations out there. For instance, some people report a man in a bunny costume chasing children. Heard that one Washington, a faceless ghost wanders the streets. The town of Auburn, Washington, was once named Slaughter What that's horrible, terrible name. The name gives off some creepy vibes, but it was given to honor a soldier by the name who died in while fighting local indigenous folk who had a problem with their land being stolen. But with a name like Slaughter, you can imagine the legends surrounding the town instead of murder tales or mass executions. The myth that causes the most goosebumps in the area is that of a faceless spirit who wanders the town. Before Auburn, the area was owned by a rich landowner. As only in your State notes, it was the sale of this land that started the town in the first place, and for some reason, the landowner never left. This story is full of who knows, because no one has a single clue why the ghost behaves the way he does. So this spirit is supposedly seen around town, angrily walking the streets, passing through walls, and scaring townsfolk. There's nothing in the myth that explains why he's so angry. Maybe he regrets selling such a valuable piece of land, and there is likewise no explanation for the creepiest detail about him. The ghost has no face. Next up West Virginia, a haunted tunnel with a history of racial violence. The United States has a dark history of racial violence in turning a blind eye to it, and the heaviness of this type of evil deed is said to echo through Dingius Tunnel in Dingius, West Virginia. According to the Tug Valley Area CVB, the late eighteen hundred saw a spike in the coal industry and with it an increased number of black and Chinese workers being brought out east to mine via the railway. Well, the racist white locals didn't like that, so the most violent of the racist jerks would hide out in the tunnel, rifles trained on the emerging locomotives and straight up murder any of the incoming workers who weren't white. The Mingo Messenger says the Dingis Dingess Tunnel is considered one of the most haunted tunnels in the country. Given the pain it's known for, it's not surprising there arecounts of shadow figures as people drive through, and the dark past of the location is said to attract poultergeis. Check out the Moonville Tunnel in Ohio. You can take tours there. It's right outside of Athens. It's pretty cool as well, or haunted at least. I don't know if that one was cool. Wisconsin an ornary sea monster at the lake, as seems to be common in all the states surrounded by sea or large lakes, Wisconsin is home to myths about its own freshwater sea monster. As Pine Barn Institute explains, excuse a the creature known as Bosho. I'm going with Boso until you guys correct me. Now. This guy is believed to inhabited Lake Mendota, a nearly ten thousand acre body of water right next to the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Never heard of this guy before. The creature, whose myth can be traced to the eighteen sixties, was said in the earliest accounts to cause boating accidents simply due to its sheer size and boater's poor navigation skills, But within twenty years the beast had become more aggressive. A couple had their boat attacked by this critter, which they described as a twenty five foot black serpent, until the husband hit the creature with a hatchet. Since then, Boze is supposedly seen every few years or so. It causes havoc for boaters and blatantly scares the pants off anyone unlucky to see it. There's even a rumor that giant sea serpent scales have washed up on the lake shores. Luckily, the creature seems to be mostly harmless. No one is said to have been killed by the beast, but many have had their perfectly good days allegedly ruined, and probably won't be heading to the water anytime soon. This is an odd one Wyoming. A ship bearing word of death. Ghast Ships are fairly common myths in coastal waters, and every once in a while you'll hear one showing up at a large inland lake. However, you almost never find legends of spectral boats on the rivers out west. That being said, there's a legend about a ghost ship in Wyoming that would scare you senseless if you ever happened upon it. According to our friends over a Legends of America, a myth persists in the state claiming a ghost ship sails down the Platte River. But this vessel differs from similar legends. The ship rolls out of a dense fog that's pretty standard, with sails and masks coated in icy frost. A whole crew, also frosted, stands ready on the decks. They're huddled around a veiled image of a corpse laid out on canvas. As the ship approaches, the sailors begin to clear the way. They step back and expose the corpse between them. The body lying there isn't of a person who's already dead. It's someone set to die the day the ship appears. Those who witness this happening will recognize the face as someone they already know, but they'll be powerless to help the doomed soul. The sight of this ship of death would most definitely leave its viewers scarred for life, as would coming across most of the most of the myths on this list. So maybe don't go hunting them, I say you do. That's too much fun, guys. That is part two. We've gotten through all fifty states on this list from over at grune dot com. We do a pretty good job. I want to apologize this episode I have and it's sticking me two days to record this because we're harvesting out here and farm country and the dust is kicking.
