Legends...

OK, trying to get out of the movies area for a while... What's your fav legend that somehow has to do with horror?

Ah, if you can tell me some not too well known legends, I'll be quite glad too...

Its gonna be tough to find something that somebody hasn't heard of. Especially the horror crowd we got here. One that comes to mind is The Mothman. The movie [ yeah , I know, you wanted to get away from movies ] piqued my interest so I read up on it and there was some pretty strange happenings in the 60's in West Virginia. hmmm the 60's....coulda been some bad shrooms.

here's a link

My favorite horror legend is that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre really happened. LOL! I've had to tell five asswipes the truth. Sad thing is that all of them didn't believe me. I tell them it's loosely based on Ed Gein and they don't know who he is.

If TCM really happened it would be the most famous serial killing in history. An entire family of cannibals/killers.

Some people are stupid.

In my town of origin, there was a train track running deep below my neighborhood....so at night I'd be awoken with the creepy sound of the infamous "Midnight Express." Anway, legend has it that a porter was killed in a crash more than a century before I was born. The porter was in the back of the train, so he didn't know they were plunging toward doom. Upon imact the porter was decapitated. It's said that his head flew up and was snagged on one of those old timey train post light thingies. Rumor has it that on certain nights you can see his head swinging back and forth.

Now there are stories like this or kinda like this all over NC. The most famous is in Wilmington. However, since we're going with the obscure, I thought I'd give a town legend.

I'm interested to see what other people remember.:)
