yea i know its probally a re-post but i havnt seen anything on the first page about this in a while so whats some scary places, myths, or legends in your town?

tonight i just got back from a house in the middle of the redneck part of the county where a guy shot his ex-girlfriends family and then shot himself, and another guy shot himself in the kneecaps in the middle of the road and bleed to death because someone kept screwing with his property and made him go insane, it was scary as hell there, there were papers and magazines from the 80's there, we didnt get to explore everything due to the main floor to the basement was caving in, it was all good we did it in the middle of a downpour though made it 10 times worse but nothing terrifying happened

another myth that we did a couple months ago was to drive on this longass bullavard that winds around a mountain that connects to towns, i guess about 20 or 30 some years ago a kid got pissed and decided to fly down this road, wrecked off the guardrail and rolled 100 some yards down the bank of the mountain, if you stop in the turnaround in the middle, turn off your lights and drive in a circle 3 times and wait 5 minutes your supposed to see a truck come flying down the road and it starts chasing you until you reach the begining of the town and it looks as if the lights of the truck go off the side of the mountain, we didnt and nothing happened it was just creepy cause a mansion is up there that belongs to Lou DeNaples that supposdly has connections to the mob and has been known to severly hurt tresspasseners

the a couple sanateriums and graveyards we plan on visiting over the summer too, soo if anyone has some cool as story to share, post it

Chompo.Well in Detroit there is the legend of loupgaru which is very complicated but in a nutshell is a guy that can turn into a wolf and killed lots of people in the late 1800's. Ironically our old wooden hakercraft is named loupgaru.

Also one of my great great aunt caught her husband cheating on her. She proceeded to shoot and kill him and then tried to wrap the gun around a tree. My great grandma got the gun and gave it to my dad. My dad later found that the gun is very valuable and got it compltley restored and says that it is his favorite gun. Nothing really haunting or scary, i just feel really weird when I shoot that gun.


I have a similar story. My great great grandma is a legend in leadville, CO. They call her the hatchet lady of leadville. she killed her husband with a hatchet because he gambled all their money and she wanted new shoes and her husband wouldnt wake up to go to work. crazy shit yo.

sorry bout my shitty written sentences, im blazed as shit.

There are a couple of pre-industrial revolution towns in my area that were abandon when people moved into the cities. Its really eerie to walk through them

We have a place called the Mattias Ham house in dubuque Iowa. I guess some ghost hunter show went to it a few years ago or something.
Basically the story is that some girl years ago was sleeping in the house and a supposed pirate came in too rob them but she heard the guy and took her gun out and shot him, he was wounded and left. The next day they found a blood trail and followed it down to the river, where they found a dead pirate captain. Now its supposedly haunted by some ghost. Never been in there at night though. They have tours in the day though.

T.Rexso i have pictures of thise place finally, i just went back the other day during the the sunlight so i was able to get pictures but shitty quality cause there from my phone but anyway here they are, the frist one is the barn thats collapsing its just filled with chainsaws and weird shit, the second one is the halfway house between the barn and the house its just cluttered with old tools and stuff, and the last picture is of the house, its pretty big, we didnt go down into it cause the trai lwas mad muddy and we were about to go to a concert, like i sad before the house is pretty much set in the worst location/ really out there not around anything




Where is this? I'm from Scranton and I've never heard of this place. I've driven on the boulevard at night and its really creepy. Almost crashed one night on a quad up there.

So there was this old junkyard (1960s?) In Londonderry vt. On the west river trail. It was super sketchy, trash everywhere,50 gallon drums smoldering. We actually met the guy. He was a hermit, beard, old. We went back the next year and turns out it burned down and he died. We were exploring a little and no joke a Gatorade bottle hit my friend and we heard like a guy yelling so we booked it outta there.

In Fitchburg, ma (next town over from me) there's a revolutionary war era cemetery. I'm pretty sure its one of the 7 gates to hell (not completely sure) but some sketchy shit goes down i guess (deaths, weird shadows)

about 10 min from my house theres an old tower called frankensteins tower. it used to be really creepy to go to at night because it was almost completely surrounded by trees and i guess back in the day a bunch of kids commited suicide in it or jumped off or something so theres no way to get into it anymore. but now theyve cut down a lot of the trees surrounding it so its not quite as spooky

Holy shit someone talking abut LoDo!


If you want to see something haunted in Londonderry, go check out the old Dostals at Magic Mountain. I used to date the caretaker and that place was like the shining when nobody was around, especially in the summer. Slamming doors, stuff moving, heavy footsteps and running noises, crashing sounds now and then, yelling every once in a while and weird whispering sometimes too... I got seriously freaked out a few times I was there and the first time I told her she was like "oh yeah it's just the ghosts- they're cool just don't yell at them, it pisses them off- you don't want to do that"

I was like DAFUQ???

When I asked her what they do when they're mad she responded "Throw things in my room while I'm trying to sleep or make loud noises to try to scare me"


Like WTF!?!??


The next caretaker was a total fucking badass- Dude was a Bronx native punk rocker covered head to toe with tats and he had a really tough disposition and a hell of a sense of humor- dude was not full of shit at all- He said the same shit! Literally described it as "the shining: VT edition" he said he had to leave his dog at a friend's place during the day or it goes apeshit barking and growling- or cowering sometimes.


For a guy like that to take action to account for "ghosts" was mind blowing to me. Jimmy Tats wasn't afraid of being stabbed but he was very concerned about the ghosts.
