Hometown myths, legends, and just scary ass places

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.
 
all i have is a abondon 300ft clock tower not hunted but super sketch climbing down into and up it in the dark on a half rusted out ladder straight up 300 ft. also theres a abandon hospital super sketchy huge place tons of weird thing moving and nosies coming from around that place dope to take the girls though
 
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.

some gnarly mine tunnels and stuff around PC. so much damn history in this town and people act like its no big deal at all. this was one of the coolest mining towns in the country in the late 1800's.

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.
