Dawson – New Mexico’s Forgotten Town
In New Mexico, Dawson was once a prosperous and growing town. Now it is a haunted cemetery. The town is gone, and all that is left are residents’ spirits. Witnesses report seeing ghostly figures walking in the cemetery, they disappear when people approach them, and reports of seeing lights bobbling add to the haunted reports. ...Alabama’s Dead Children Playground
If you are in the mood to see something creepy one night, drive-by Maple Hill Cemetery in Huntsville, Alabama. It is one of the most haunted cemeteries; well, the playground next to it is. Witnesses have reported seeing swings moving by themselves. Passerby’s had heard the laughter of children when there were no children. Visitors ...Washington State’s Batsquatch
There is a lot of documentation on Bigfoot and many sightings reported. I wanted to write about a cryptid not as well-known. So, after my research, I found "Batsquatch."Virginia’s Vampires
I have family living in Richmond, Virginia. I have visited them during the holidays. Richmond also houses the museum of my favorite author and hero, Edgar Allan Poe. The museum has been on my bucket list of places I want to see but haven’t yet. I wonder if Poe haunts the museum. With Richmond’s bloody ...The Texas Donkey Lady
San Antonio, Texas, brings to mind the Alamo and the River Walk. I took a trip out to San Antonio and had a blast at both places. I never knew about the unusual cryptid that haunted the outskirts of San Antonio. The Donkey Lady haunts a bridge just outside the city. It is an isolated ...South Carolina’s Boo Hag
It has been an exhausting day, and you are ready for a good night’s sleep. Your tired body sinks into the soft mattress, and you drift into dreamland. However, something wakes you up out of a sound sleep. You jerk upwards. Well, you try to, but you cannot move. You cannot scream or move, and ...Oregon’s Crater Lake Mysteries
This week is Oregon, and The Pacific Northwest is a hotbed for Bigfoot sightings. Yet, when I started looking for reports, Bigfoot wasn’t the one that appeared the most. Crater Lake showed up a lot more often than any cryptid, including Bigfoot. Crater Lake, like Pyramid lake, is haunted. In fact, Crater Lake is a ...Ohio’s Dogman
I first heard of the Dogman when I researched Michigan’s legends. Then exploring Ohio, I learn that Ohio has either a Dogman or Werewolf. I thought how fascinating. Michigan and Ohio have Dog-like creatures running loose in their forests. It makes those stories more accurate because the sightings aren’t random. There have been so many ...New York’s ‘Champ’
New York has two fascinating lake monsters worth writing about. I only have time this week to write about one, so I will be writing about ‘Champ.’ Champ haunts Lake Chaplain in upper New York. He shares similar characteristics with Nessie of Loch Ness monster fame. Like the Highlands of Scotland, the cities and towns ...Nevada’s Pyramid Lake
It has been an exciting journey researching monsters from across the United States. This week’s monster, though, isn’t a cryptid; it is a lake. You read correctly. The monster lake is Pyramid Lake, an enclosed lake 15 miles long and 11 miles wide. Its maximum depth is 350 feet deep, and the lake’s haunted. The ...
