Their subjects take many shapes, be they bloodthirsty creatures of the dark, vengeance-seeking ghouls, or sinister vortices. And each time they are told, the terror spreads.
America is a country rich in sociology, a place where cautionary tales have always been mixed into the pot and sprinkled into our collective nightmares. Yet some of our nation'southward eeriest and most persistent stories, whether because they're rooted in community lore or used equally means to synthesize local tragedy, don't travel far.

Alabama: Dead Children's Playground
Why information technology'southward creepy: This eerie playground adjacent to Maple Loma, Huntsville's oldest cemetery, doesn't just accept an eerie nickname for fun. The playground was presumably designed to entertain kids while their parents visited the graves of loved ones. Fable has it, though, that the spirits of children who've been buried in the cemetery since the first grave was dug there in 1822 come up out to play at dark. The living have observed orbs of light going down the slide, seen swings moving on their own, and even heard giggling. Creepier still, some say the spirits include victims of a rash of kid murders that happened in the '60s, when bodies were rumored to have been found in the expanse that now houses the playground.
Where it came from: The playground itself wasn't opened until 1985, so you tin can imagine how much pent-upwardly energy the tiny spirits had later on 163 years without a slide. In 2007, the city tried to raze the park to make more room for graves and removed the slides and swings overnight. After public outcry, information technology was replaced with more than modern equipment, making it slightly less creepy to look at, and also probably resulting in some happier ghosts. -- Andy Kryza
Alaska: The Alaska Triangle
Why it'due south creepy: Encompassing an area ranging from near Juneau in the southeast to the northern Barrow region to the western metropolis of Anchorage, Alaska's answer to the Bermuda Triangle is comprised some of the most barren wilderness in the US -- and information technology apparently craves souls. More than 20,000 people have gone missing without a trace in the area during the by half-century lone. Are they existence consumed by mythological beings like the abominable Keelut or the ghoulish kidnapper Qalupalik, lost on extreme hikes, or simply vanishing into a dark vortex? Nobody knows, though it's not for lack of trying: When the government lost House Majority Leader Hale Boggs' Cessna to the Triangle in 1972, a massive search turned up tons of conspiracy theories, just no bodies.
Where it came from: The expanse has been associated with evil spirits, and Tlingit lore for centuries attributed trickster demons for luring people to an icy death. Others believe the area exists amid an electromagnetically influenced "vile vortex." All the same others remember it's a Darwinian result of explorers taking on nature. Regardless, the expanse continues to claim people, and underneath that massive coating of snow and rock likely lies 1 of the largest and best-preserved mass graves in the world. -- AK
Arizona: Skinwalkers
Why it's creepy: It'southward piece of cake to feel uneasy while driving through the desolate desert roads of Arizona, specially at night, and particularly then when yous hear a brusque burst of taps on your window while cruising at sixty mph and turn to see the shapeshifting, mutilated, half-homo fauna responsible for the high-speed pause. Relax -- it's only trying to rip the mankind off your bones. This legend is and so ingrained in Arizona culture that, when a Navajo woman was found brutally murdered in Flagstaff, the accused killer'due south defense in courtroom was that the attack could have only been perpetrated past a Skinwalker. In that location's even a defined and well-documented portion of the country known equally Skinwalker Ranch where you are most likely to see 1 of the creatures. Not that you lot'd actually want to.
Where it came from: The Skinwalkers, like then many ancient American urban legends, have roots in Native American sociology. While information technology's fairly hard to gather specific details -- every bit speaking of potentially sinister legends is seriously taboo in Navajo culture -- information technology is understood that what non-Navajos refer to as "skinwalkers" are witch doctors who have get an evil reflection of everything the Navajo nation values. Basically, they are men who've transformed into malevolent, murderous creatures that have no qualms using their spiritual powers to kill. Navajo medicine men are trained to learn both good and evil aspects of their ability, and Skinwalkers are those who have turned to the Night Side. It's all very Star Wars. And, bluntly, nonetheless terrifying. -- Wil Fulton
Arkansas: The Dog Boy
Why it's creepy: The name sounds kind of goofy, or really fifty-fifty kind of like Goofy. But if you find yourself at 65 Mulberry Street, in the eye of the minuscule Arkansas town of Quitman, you won't laugh if yous meet the hulking outline of a 300-pound one-half human being, one-half beast -- complete with glowing animal eyes -- glaring out of the windows. Walk quickly, as he has been known to chase people downwardly his street, biting at their heels -- kind of like a dog, actually.
Where it came from: This is really the rare urban legend where the story behind the story ends up being even creepier than the folklore. Gerald Bettis, the simply son of the Bettis family unit of 65 Mulberry, was ever a problem kid. Merely not in the cute, Inferior Healy way. Bettis would "collect" and torture animals (hence the "dog male child" moniker), before turning his sociopathic focus to his elderly parents, allegedly imprisoning them in their own dwelling house and potentially even murdering his male parent. Eventually, Bettis would be imprisoned for growing marijuana on his back porch and would die in a state penitentiary in 1988 of a drug overdose. -- WF
California: The Many Horrors of Turnbull Canyon
Why information technology'due south creepy: Located near LA between Whittier and Metropolis of Industry, Turnbull is a 49,000-acre smorgasbord of nightmare fuel gear up amidst the the scenic hills. You want your scares rooted in American history? The natives called it "Hutukngna," or the place of the Devil, where the ghosts of those slain for not converting to Christianity dwell aslope witches AND satanists, who reportedly used the place to cede children, whose spirits at present walk the canyon and dangle from copse. They're joined by the ghosts of 21 kids who perished in a aeroplane crash back in '52... allegedly, as in that location'southward no existing record of information technology. And so there's the remains of the old insane aviary that came dorsum to life to kill a teen in the '60s via a long-dormant electrical wire. In that location are cults, alien encounters, gravity hills... It goes on and on. Basically, if information technology's something that gets under your pare, there's a story nearly it happening in this seemingly cursed canyon.
Where it came from: The identify's evil vibes date dorsum centuries, though information technology wasn't until the site was established as a fur-trapping site in 1845 that things started getting actually intense, with word of the site'southward terrors traveling far and wide and making it a place visited as much for its beauty every bit morbid curiosity. -- AK
Colorado: Riverdale Road
Why it'due south creepy: For 11 horrifying miles, Riverdale Route nigh Thornton, Colorado is crammed with plenty horrifying legends to bring even the bravest paranormal investigator to his knees, from a ghostly runner attacking parked cars on Jogger's Colina to various demons and even a phantom Camaro revving up and down the winding route. But the Gates of Hell seems the epicenter. The concrete iron gates are now gone, only what remains is the partial beat of an former mansion where a madman supposedly burned his married woman and children alive. Left backside are the arid, charred plot of land and a white-clad woman who wanders the surface area. She's joined by the ghosts of slaves supposedly hanged from the now-charred tree. Go alee and run abroad when y'all see something creepy like an ethereal pack of dogs... you're probably just going to bump into something worse, possibly Hell, a portal to which some believe is here. That maybe explains why so many demons were conjured in a weird underground chicken coop near a prepare of hugger-mugger tunnels.
Where it came from: It'south unknown when things got really hairy, though given the spirits of ghost slaves, it'south safe to presume terrible things take been happening on Riverdale Road since the 1850s. And each time something terrible happened over the decades, it simply kind of got stacked onto this nesting doll of a horror evidence. -- AK
Connecticut: Dudleytown
Why it's creepy: Often cited as a "dark vortex," rumor has it that whatsoever visitor that steals an artifact from Dudleytown will have a expletive put on them and their family. Dudleytown forest visitors report seeing merely about every kind of paranormal phenomena you could think of: People describe an unnerving lack of wild fauna in the area equally well as floating orbs of light and sinister "wolf-like" blackness shadows, murmurs and disembodied voices, every bit well as a feeling of general dread. Add on the fact that there'south a mysterious group chosen "the Dark Wood Clan" that polices the grounds with militant forcefulness and you've got yourself a serious case of the what the hell is actually going on here?
Where it came from: The curse of the sick-fated Dudleys began back in jolly ol' England, where Edmund Dudley was beheaded for conspiring against Rex Henry VII. This treacherous human action patently unleashed a curse on the balance of the Dudley clan, which emigrated from Guilford, England to Cornwall, Connecticut in 1748. They helped establish a customs centered effectually the town'south then-thriving iron industry before a series of untimely disasters befell the family unit. These calamities included a series of mysterious deaths which, in plough, inspired madness and suicide amidst the Dudleys, several of whom disappeared into the woods never to be seen again. The remaining residents very sensibly ditched the boondocks, which has been abandoned always since. -- Janelle Albukhari
Delaware: Mr. Chew
Why it's creepy:Samuel Chew was a respected man, a Chief Justice in the state back in the Colonial days. Yet, even in Colonial America, bullies latched onto his proper noun, constantly proclaiming "ah, Chew" as if sneezing. He evidently hated it and then much that his spirit still stalks those who mock him, showing upwardly in his robes and powdered wig to scare the ever-loving crap out of people who can't resist the easy joke at the expense of a centuries-dead legislator.
Where information technology came from:Chew was very much a real man, serving as Chief Justice of the Iii Lower Counties until he died in 1743. Things got so unsettling that people eventually held a "funeral" for the ghost in Dover's Green, laying his spirit to rest in an ornate grave. He seemed to be placated, though he's still known to mess with smartasses who sneeze at the mention of his name. -- AK

They tin can exist detected by a horrific scent that's been described as "sun-baked animal carcass" and "rotting garbage."

Recently, a Skunk Ape HQ has popped up in the Everglades where you can book tours out into the swamp or reserve a spot on a hunting trek to finally prove the hairy beast is existent once and for all.
Where it came from: No ane tin can say for sure. But because its lineage can be traced back to Bigfoot, many believe information technology migrated south from the mountains and found refuge in the swamplands, an environment rubber from humans with ample sustenance and room to roam. Others believe it'south just lore, a tale pioneers created in order to scare people off their lands and preserve the wilderness. Whatever y'all believe, should you find yourself camping in the Everglades and you olfactory property something foul, take caution. It could exist the Skunk Ape. -- Alex Robinson
Georgia: The Curse of Lake Lanier
Why it'due south creepy: The massive homo-made lake north of Atlanta is unnerving on multiple fronts, with a reputation for tragic and sometimes mysterious deaths, from a disproportionately loftier frequency of boating accidents and drownings to unexplained homicides. A construction crew discovered the skeleton of a woman who disappeared in 1958, nonetheless trapped in her motorcar at the bottom of the lake more than xxx years afterward, and since then people accept reported sightings of a ghostly female figure on the lake's waters. There are even reports of malevolent catfish lurking on the bottom that'southward large enough to swallow a dog or even drown a diver.
Where it came from: There were numerous issues with the structure of the lake, non the to the lowest degree of which included the deportation of families, businesses, and even cemeteries occupying the land the Army Corps of Engineers sought to develop. The vestiges of some of these structures still have a ghostly presence at the bottom of the lake, which some point to as a source of Lanier's haunted reputation. Others point to the simple "water + booze = accidents" formula to explain the tragedies (Lanier IS a notorious party lake). But, as noted to a higher place, many of the deaths go beyond simple canoeing accidents, leading some to believe there's something more sinister at work. -- Matt Lynch
Hawaii: The Nighttime Marchers
Why it'southward creepy: Moving picture yourself on a scenic Hawaiian beach at night. Imagine a full moon, and a cool breeze running beyond the sand. Dreamy.

These spirits of ancient Hawaiian warriors, dedicated to protecting the islands from all outside threats, will merely spare your life if yous -- reportedly -- lay confront downwards, pee on yourself in submission, or if (miraculously) share a bloodline with one of the warriors. Good luck peeing on yourself, tourist!
Where it came from: The beginning alleged "encounter" with The Night Marches, known as Huaka'I po in Hawaiian, was recorded when Helm Melt arrived on Hawaiian shores in 1778. In Hawaiian tradition, the nighttime marchers' role in life was to protect sacred members of the customs. In modern times, their spirits accept been reported all throughout the islands, mainly at the sites of sacrificial temples and other sacred grounds. Oh, and the decidedly corporate Davies Pacific Eye edifice in downtown Honolulu. Apparently, they still protect the isle from outsiders -- and if yous buy into the legend, they always will. -- WF
Idaho: The Phantom Jogger of Coulee Hill
Why it's creepy: At that place are rumors of many hauntings in Caldwell, Idaho's centuries-old Coulee Colina Cemetery, only the one that gets the well-nigh attending is the Midnight Jogger. As with many of the best urban legends, you have to do your part to get her attention: In this case it involves parking between certain trees in the cemetery at night. Practice it correct, and the legless apparition will knock on your window to let you know she's there, then keep on her route. It'southward creepy as hell, though now it's only the second-worst image conjured when y'all think of sinister joggers.
Where it came from: The origins are unknown, though considering there's another conspiratorial legend that the unabridged land of Idaho doesn't actually exist, perhaps the jogger is just a cosmos of a deranged and deceptive government. -- AK
Illinois: The Italian Bride
Why it'south creepy: An elaborate marble statue of a woman in a hymeneals wearing apparel is bound to stand out in a cemetery as it is, but that's not what's driven The Italian Helpmate to exist a subject of local fascination. Upon closer inspection, there is an actual photo plaque on the gravesite of a woman in a catafalque, looking perfectly preserved fifty-fifty though, every bit an inscription notes, the photograph was taken half dozen years after burying after the body was exhumed. Reports of unusual action comprehend everything from the smell of fresh flowers near the gravesite in the dead of winter to the ghostly figure of a woman in white roaming the cemetery (or the halls of nearby Proviso West High Schoolhouse) in the expressionless of night.
Where it came from: In 1921, recently married Julia Buccola Petta died in childbirth and was buried in her wedding wearing apparel. Legend has it her mother immediately began experiencing nightmares that Julia was enervating her grave be reopened. The source of the distress varies depending on the storyteller, often relating to some sort of discontent with Julia's new married man, simply what isn't in dispute is that six years afterwards the mother got her wish and Julia's pristine condition inspired her to raise funds for the statue that's been creeping out generations e'er since. -- ML
Indiana: Diana of the Dunes
Why it'southward creepy: Along the shores of Lake Michigan, fishermen, vacationers, and other passersby have reported sightings of Diana, a ghostly nude female apparition floating forth the shoreline and somewhen disappearing into the h2o without a trace.
Where it came from: Fishermen get-go started reporting the sightings of a woman skinny dipping in the waters off Indiana's Lake Michigan coastline in 1916 -- and that'south considering Alice Gray, the source of the Diana legend, was still very much alive at that point. The exact circumstances that acquired her to live a reclusive life in a lakeside shack aren't entirely articulate, only the years that followed saw her ally a man who subsequently became a murder doubtable, and then die an early death, allegedly from uremic poisoning. Her ghostly presence has been a subject area of local lore ever since. -- ML
Iowa: Villisca Ax Murder House
Why information technology'south creepy: Umm, what office of "ax murder house" don't you lot empathize?
Where information technology came from: So, the murders themselves are very much Non an urban legend. They happened. And they remain unsolved. Onetime between the evening of June 9,1912 and the morning that followed, six members of the Moore family and two houseguests were brutally murdered, with each victim having suffered an axe wound to the head. Ane suspect was tried twice and never convicted. Surprising no ane, the somehow all the same standing business firm is the subject field of numerous rumors, legends, and reports of paranormal activity. You tin can observe out for yourself, because y'all tin actually stay there, just like the ghost hunter who mysteriously stabbed himself in the breast in that location in 2014. -- ML
Kansas: Stull'south Gateway to Hell
Why it'due south creepy: The tiny town of Stull has counted very few residents since it was founded in 1856. The nearly famous is rumored to exist Lucifer himself, who some say appears at the town cemetery on Halloween and spring equinox. They say he uses the site where a roofless church building one time stood as a portal to and from Hell. Some say that he's drawn to the site of frequent witch-hangings. Others believe one of the graves actually contains Satan's ain kid. Either manner, new graves go along to be dug, despite signs warning confronting trespassers, perchance referring directly to the Prince of Darkness himself or the cults that are rumored to flock to the grounds.
Where it came from: The kickoff published commodity most the horrors are traced back to a 1974 article in the Academy Daily Kansan, though whispers about evil have persisted since 1900 or so. In 1998, the "hanging tree" was torn downwardly to stop people from visiting. Information technology hasn't lessened the need for the small town to bolster an almanac constabulary presence to deter visitors looking for a glimpse of the Devil himself. --AK
Kentucky: The Witch Girl of Pilot's Knob
Why it's creepy: Just looking at the pictures of immature Mary Evelyn Ford's grave feels a bit unnerving, with a series of interlocking white crosses forming a debate effectually a pit of gravel and the bars appearing unnaturally bent in some places. And then you hear the alleged backstory -- a mother and daughter both defendant of witchcraft and burned at the stake in 1916, with the mothers charred remains beingness carried to a far-off location while the daughter was buried in a steel-lined coffin covered in rock and encased in crosses to prevent her escape. Some have claimed to witness tiny footprints appearing in the gravel, or fifty-fifty a young ghostly effigy trying to escape the gravesite. Kid ghosts, as we know, are the creepiest ghosts.
Where it came from: While stories about the gravesite go back decades, and naturally increased in detail with the growth of the cyberspace, there'southward not much show that anyone was burned at the stake for witchcraft in the area in 1916: fifty-fifty back then, that was generally large news. Mary Evelyn Ford really did die a tragic young death, merely the stated crusade of death is peritonitis, an inflammation of the tummy lining. It'southward amazing what a truly unnerving gravesite tin can do for the imagination -- we notwithstanding wouldn't want to be near it at nighttime. -- ML
Louisiana: The Vampire Comte de Saint Germain
Why information technology's creepy: As far as spooky shit goes, Louisiana does not rely solely on voodoo/hoodoo, ghosts and Woody Harrelson'south accent from True Detective. Like whatsoever debonair bloodsucker male vampire worth his garlic, Jacques Saint Germain's hobby is seducing attractive young females in New Orleans, merely to promptly drink their blood. By some accounts, he was built-in in the early 1700s. In others, he has been alive since Christ. Later on "dying" in 1783, he was spotted all over Europe before reappearing to terrorize New Orleans 1902. He's still on his claret-drinking binge in the French Quarter today, though now he only goes by "Jack." Nice rebrand.
Where it came from: Comte de Saint Germain was certainly a real person, alchemist, and all-round loftier-society snob who befriended a laundry list of famous 18th-century luminaries. He ran with crews including King Louis 15, Catherine the Corking, and the philosopher Voltaire, who said he was "a man who never dies, and who knows everything." He has been tied to several local murders, and in the 1970s a French psuedo-celeb named Richard Chanfray publicly claimed to be the infamous Saint Germain. But then, he died of a drug overdose in 1983. Or... did he? Well, he probably did. -- WF
Maine: Wood Island Lite
Why it's creepy: Instead of providing useful light to assistance ships navigate, the lighthouse on Woods Island reportedly provides a infinite for strange moans, unexplained shadows, and other indicators of paranormal activeness normally attributed to a murder-suicide that took place at that place decades ago.
Where it came from: Howard Hobbs, a local fisherman and drifter, really did murder his landlord, Fred Milliken, on the Wood Island in 1896. Hobbs had been drinking and, afterwards shooting Milliken, left the scene and turned his rifle on himself. You can read nearly the events of that day in all their 19th-century paper glory here. From ghost experts who counterbalance in on such things, Hobbs is mostly considered the likeliest candidate to yet be haunting the lighthouse. -- ML
Maryland: The Goatman
Why it's creepy: Maryland'southward infamous Goatman allegedly does all the things y'all would expect a deranged half-goat/half man to practice: impale teenagers, eat dogs, scream similar a goat, etc. Only the most terrifying attribute is just how deep the lore goes. The USDA was even forced, at one betoken, to publicly deny accidentally creating the beast in their Beltsville agronomical research centre. Some other tale revolves effectually a goat farmer who, afterward realizing a grouping of rowdy teens had killed his tribe, went totally crazy and turned into a teen-slaying goat monster.
Where it came from: Though the lore had been effectually for a while, the get-go recorded media mentions of the Goatman occurred in 1971, courtesy of author Karen Hosler of the Prince George's Canton News. The first was a deep dive into Maryland sociology, followed by an actual news item most a family unit blaming the roughshod decapitation of their puppy on the Goatman... which they may or may not have just heard nearly via the County News. Ane month afterwards The Washington Post ran a national characteristic detailing the fable of the Goatman. Ultimately, the Goatman has become one of America'due south most persistent and well-known urban legends, with claimed sightings nevertheless occurring with regularity and cheesy fictionalizations still creepin' out the Old Line Country. -- WF
Massachusetts: The Expletive of Giles Corey
Why it's creepy: The Salem Witch Trials were creepy plenty to begin with (get read The Crucible again if yous don't believe it!), simply the story of Giles Corey, who was slowly pressed to death nether a series of progressively heavier rocks in an endeavor to extract a confession, is particularly unsettling.
Where it came from: Legend has it he uttered a curse against Salem right before his dying breath (you could understand why he'd have some ill will). For generations, his apparition has allegedly appeared in the cemetery earlier something terrible is about to happen, including a 1914 fire that burned downward a sizable proportion of the metropolis. In that location has too been a series of tragedies that have hitting the Salem sheriff's function (starting with the 1696 heart attack that killed George Corwin four years later he presided over the trials). -- ML
Michigan: Hell'southward Bridge
Why information technology'south creepy:The Nain Rouge and Dogmen? They've got nothing on the tale of Elias Friske, a deranged old preacher who, co-ordinate to blood-curdling lore, pied-pipered a group of tethered children into the woods about what is at present Algoma Township. He slaughtered them one by one, casting them into Cedar Creek before being caught by their parents and hanged, just not before saying he was possessed by demons. In its current class, Hell'southward Span is a creaky, narrow metal footbridge in the middle of the woods, where those brave enough to cantankerous at night claim to hear the voices and screams of children, and are sometimes greeted past a black figure with glowing optics equally they traverse it.
Where it came from: There is no record of an Elias Friske in the area, though in that location was a prominent Friske family commencement in the 1910s. Still, despite the lack of hard facts, anyone who's visited the bridge will attest that in that location'due south something out in that location, and information technology normally makes its presence known as you're teetering on a shaky metal bridge in the moonlight. -- AK
Minnesota: The Hairy Man of Vergas Trail
Why it's creepy: What'due south not to be creeped out almost? An 8-foot, musty-smelling, barefoot man with a reputation for being unnaturally aggressive is a hell of a thing to consider encountering in the woods. Some reported sightings were merely that: sightings. However, reports similar Ken Zitzow's fabricated the Hairy Man more than an apparition, but something to fearfulness. Zitzow returned from driving in the woods with dents all over his car hood and said the Hairy Homo jumped onto the road and began pounding the hood.
Where it came from: Nobody really knows. Sightings trace back to the '60s, had a meaning increase in the '70s, and yet happen from time to fourth dimension. Some say it'due south a legend. Some say there was an former hermit living in the wood who wasn't too keen on your rascally kids wandering his land. Others say the Hairy Man is real and point to a mysterious skull discovered in the Vergas Trail expanse that is homo-like, but non hominid. It was discovered by a individual citizen who didn't turn it over, so no one knows if information technology's homo, Bigfoot, fauna, or hoax. -- Dustin Nelson
Mississippi: The Three-Legged Lady of Nash Road
Why information technology'southward creepy: Whenever a strange person starts chasing your car as you bulldoze downwardly a dark, unfamiliar road, it's unsettling. When she bangs on your hood, it'south even worse. But when she has three legs -- and one seems to be a rotting limb she sewed to her body -- that's just the worst. Merely that'southward what generations of Mississippians have said nigh the stretch of Nash Road near Columbus where the Lady does her thing.
Where information technology came from: From Robert Johnson selling his soul to the Yazoo Witch, many ghost stories in Mississippi persist, but the Three-Legged Lady gets points for changing to arrange what scares you. Some say that extra leg was removed from a expressionless lover and fastened to her torso. Some believe she's the ghost of a female parent who got lost searching for her dismembered daughter after all she could find was a severed leg. Some say she wants to race you across a nearby bridge. Either way, turn off your headlights on a stretch of the road and don't exist surprised if y'all're forced to face the specter yourself. -- AK
Missouri: Zombie Road
Why information technology's creepy: The nighttime, canopied trail running through Wildwood, Missouri, just outside St. Louis, has been a hotbed of creepy tales for ages, frequently revolving effectually shadowy human being figures following and frightening those forth the trail.
Where it came from: Originally congenital as an access route for the gravel quarries along the Meramec River, the road fell into disuse and disrepair in the '70s and saw an increase in teenagers flocking to the surface area to party/scare the crap out of each other. The origin stories of the trail'south haunting varies widely, from the kind of plausible (railway accidents, executed Civil War spies) to the more sensational (sadistic children's infirmary). Several years ago the pathway was paved and then it might be used as a bike path, merely that hasn't done much to slow the legend. The constabulary are doing their best, however. -- ML
Montana: The Hitchhiker of Blackness Horse Lake
Why it's creepy: Usually, when you lot see a hitchhiker on a particularly desolate stretch of highway -- which Highway 87 certainly can be -- it gives you the willies. On this particular stretch near Great Falls, it'south compounded by the fact that the namesake lake is seasonal, and dry most seasons. Regardless, the end result of the body of a native-American man -- clad in jeans with jet-black hair -- slamming into your windshield every bit you're driving is sheer terror. Fable has information technology those who meet the hitcher suddenly find his torso bouncing off the front of their motorcar. When they finish to help, there'south nil there and no damage to the windshield. The hitcher, meanwhile, repeats the cycle incessantly, trapped in his own personal hell as he repeats his moment of decease with whichever driver happens to be cruising downwards the route at the wrong time.
Where it came from: Folklorists take traced the whole "vanishing hitchhiker" phenomenon dorsum to the 19th century, though given the presence of denim reported by most who encounter the hitcher, we're going to guess he met his demise in the '60s if he was real. Legends of wandering spirits of Native Americans are pretty prevalent in this part of the state, likewise, and then chances are the hitcher lore and the native stuff just mated logically. -- AK
Nebraska: Seven Sisters Road
Why information technology's creepy: There'southward no shortage of "creepy road where creepy things happen" stories, merely Nebraska's Seven Sisters Road is especially unsettling, with the legend telling of a immature man who, following a dispute with his family, led each of his sisters out to seven different hills and hung them from a dissimilar tree.
Where it came from: The precise origins of the legend are unclear (sometimes it'south the father rather than the brother, depending on who'southward telling the story) but information technology goes back long enough and is ingrained well plenty in the local culture that it'south taken into account when making highway construction plans. -- ML
Nevada: Area 51
Why it's creepy: Area 51 lore has been satirized, remixed, and riffed on and so much in popular culture, sometimes it'south hard to retrieve how creepy this whole deal was/is in the first place. Merely cloak-and-dagger government cover ups, dead aliens, and playing God in the middle of the desolate Nevada desert is creepier than probing Randy Quaid. It's been said that everything from fourth dimension travel, genetic experiments, and alien autopsies are commonplace at Area 51. Bluntly, no 1 outside of loftier government knows what goes on in there.
Where it came from: First off, Area 51 is a real, highly classified armed forces base in the southern portion of Nevada; its purpose is publicly unknown. But in the early 1950s, in the infant stages of the Cold War, President Eisenhower approved plans to build the U-2 stealth plane and created Expanse 51 to house the development labs and test field. When reports of the -- admittedly, spacecraft-looking -- aeroplane floated through the public and media, theories spread, and the theorize around Roswell's "alien crash" site merely fanned the flames of speculation. From in that location, it's been the epicenter for all Usa government suspicion. -- WF
New Hampshire: The Cursed Isles of Shoals
Why it's creepy: The charming archipelago of Isles of Shoals off New Hampshire'south eastern shore is the perfect destination for a seaside picnic... or you know, a series of brutal murders. Two young women were horrifically butchered via the particularly creepy bedlamite-with-an-axe method in the late 1870s, and patently you can still hear them screaming, often late at night, which is just objectively unsettling. This specific Island, Smuttynose, is said to be haunted by these ghosts, the axe murderer himself, pirates, and a gang of other poltergeists. And c'monday, accept you ever seen an abandoned old lighthouse in the fog?
Where it came from: The islands accept a history longer than the country they are in. Blackbeard himself was rumored to use the islands as a honeymoon destination and gold depository in the early 18th century -- and naturally he killed some people there forth the mode. By the time Louis Wagner murdered the women living on Smuttynose, there were already ghost stories nearly the haunting concatenation of islands.

New Jersey: The Watcher
Why it's creepy: Let'southward exist existent: The average NJ Devil'south fanboy is scarier than the apparently bullshit legend of the Jersey Devil. And the Watcher -- a legend that creeped its fashion to viral fame in 2015 -- is similar a David Fincher movie breathed into horrifying life. If yous don't know the details, in the summer of 2015 a young family moved into a million dollar house in Westfield, New Jersey. Soon after, they started getting letters signed by someone only ID'ing themselves equally "The Watcher" claiming information technology was his duty to "watch over" the house -- while also spouting crazy lines like "Do y'all need to fill the firm with the immature blood I requested?" and "Who has the bedrooms facing the street?" Holy shit.
Where it came from: Is this a prank based off a weirdly accepted local legend? A media hoax? A style to drive down real-manor prices? Information technology'southward impossible to know, but I experience very weird. And somebody is withal sending letters to inhabitants of the house. The debate and skepticism still burn in the creepiest corners of the internet, and while it'south a fairly "new" legend, information technology's probably 1 of the scariest entries on this list, no matter what you believe. -- WF

Which is well-nigh scarier.
Where it came from: Anyone who grew up in the Southwest knows near the legend of the Chupacabra -- down there, information technology's every bit large as Bigfoot, even if people can't agree on what it looks like exactly.

Hey, you lot've probably seen the show.
Where it came from: While there were rumors circulating around shady regime activeness on the Southeastern tip of Long Isle for nearly a decade prior, the legend wasn't fully baked until the early 1990s, when Peter B.

The story made the national news, and at that place were multiple hunting parties that attempted to grab the beast. They never did, but the killings eventually stopped. At least for at present. -- ML
North Dakota: The Gates of Hell
Why it'southward creepy: Abased towns are generally creepy, and North Dakota has an affluence of settlements that were all but abandoned after the railroad boom. Tagus, though, takes the cake due to the piddling fact that people believe that information technology in one case housed a Lutheran church that doubled as a hotbed for Satan worship. Legend is, it burned down, but if you lot stand in just the right identify, you can hear the screams of the damned bubbling up from hell itself. There are also reports of hellhounds, glowing gravestones, and a ghost train. Vandals and revelers have made the few people who call Tagus home very wary of visitors, and lord knows that the combination of a rumored portal to hell and extremely unwelcoming locals in a small boondocks is boilerplate horror-picture fodder.
Where came from: The Satanism business dates back to the Satanic Panic of the '80s, though Tagus been chilling since its founding in 1900, and ever since the late '80s -- when hundreds of loftier-schoolers turned up for a vandalism-intensive Halloween party were run out of the ghost boondocks -- visitors take been met with extreme skepticism.

Ohio: Melonheads

These Melonheads haunt the forest of Kirkland, and are manifestly the adopted children of a unscrupulous md who used the pre-Melonheads to test new medical and surgical methods... with not-and so-great results. In some versions of the tale, the kids are more likely to scurry away like chipmunks than bite your face off. In others, they are only ghosts of the kids. 1 thing is certain: They definitely inspired one very campy, hyper-local horror moving picture. -- WF
Oklahoma: The Skirvin Hotel
Why it'south creepy: Because the place is basically Oklahoma's equivalent to the hotel from The Shining, a luxury hotel whose permanent residents include eternally crying babies, a ghost that likes to grope people in the shower, spirits that slam doors, and the ghost of the original owner's mistress, who allegedly died along with his illegitimate kid... and who notwithstanding walks the halls with a stroller. Information technology's and so prevalent that even the toughest of NBA players -- who stay at the posh hotel when in OKC -- oft find themselves seeking alternate accommodations. And that's earlier the bedbugs start biting.
Where it came from: The place was built in 1911, and presently thereafter original possessor Fred Scheruble was shot to death, merely not before allegedly impregnating a maid who perished on the 10th floor. It'southward been downhill from there... fifty-fifty a renovation in the early on '90s didn't scrub the supernatural from the nigh haunted hotel in Oklahoma. -- AK
Oregon: The Bandage Man of Cannon Beach
Why it's creepy: Far from the rooted-in-history scares of Portland'south Shanghai Tunnels, the Bandage Man haunts a lone patch of decommissioned highway about the idyllic coast boondocks of Cannon Embankment.

Where information technology came from: The Bandage Human being -- most popularly a logger hacked up at the nearby mill -- made his earliest documented appearance in the '50s, and he was likely a spook story told around beach bonfires past teens weaned on monster movies (thus, the silly mummy-like roots). Yet, after hearing that tale tardily at nighttime then retiring to the confines of a secluded road for a fiddling third-base activeness, it's a story that carries enough creepy weight to seriously impale the mood, which is why it's persisted for decades. -- AK
Pennsylvania: Charlie No-Face

Where it came from: Ray Robinson was a existent human being. As a child in 1919, he was severely electrocuted by a trolly wire while peering into a bird'due south nest, which practically melted and disfigured his unabridged face. Equally an adult, Robinson walked Western Pennsylvanian highways (Route 351 to be exact), but just at night, equally his shocking visage garnered unwanted attention. His "glowing" appearance is probable due to the petroleum jelly he needed to coat his damaged skin. Those who know him claim he was incredibly sweet, though profoundly isolated. And no, he has nothing to do with Pennsylvania's OTHER "Green Man." -- WF
Rhode Island: Mercy Brown
Why it's creepy: Rhode Island's home to many a haunted business firm -- including the one that inspired The Conjuring -- just one legend you tin can feel without trespassing is the tale of Mercy Brown.

Where it came from: The specter archetype that Walking Sam is based on has roots starting with the proficient old-fashioned boogeyman and working all the way down to the 'Slender Man told me to do it' folklore of 2008.

However, the character of Walking Sam himself has existed among the Lakota and Dakota Native American tribes for some time now, with a record of him being described in Peter Matthiessen'due south In the Spirit of Crazy Equus caballus back in 1980. Sometimes known as "Stovepipe Chapeau Bigfoot" or "Taku-he", the character's been spotted past South Dakota Sioux and Little Eagle tribes every bit far back as 1974.-- JA
Tennessee: The Bell Witch
Why it's creepy: Essentially a real-life horror film, the hauntings of one Tennessee family by some sort of spirit believed to be a witch ultimately attracted the attention and subsequent visit by soon-to-be president Andrew Jackson.
