Dunno there was some pedo allegedly hanging around some primary schools a while back.. and I think I saw him when I was picking sister up :D r3iz0

:oDid you take a picture?

There are several old train tunnels right outside town that are rumored to be used for witchcraft, satanic rites including sacrifices.

It is also rumored that one of the sacrifices ghost continues to haunt the tunnel.

I've scraed myself a couple of times walking through them..

Whats that noise?!

I thought I saw something!

Run....!

The coolest one here in Ky is the legend of Eagle Creek Road.  This much a recorded fact:  In the 1950's (57 I think) there was a cop who pulled over a teenager on suspscion of DUI.  It turns out he wasn't.  He was just out past his curfew and had never driven that particual narrow stretch of road.  The cop was warning him about the drunks that frequent the road and a drunk came along and clipped him off the side of the kid's car.  The cop was dead on arrival.  That much is a fact.  The legend states that if you drive along that road at midnight, with out of town plates, driving slowly or even fairly erratically you will be pulled over by a cop in a mid 50's style cruiser.  He'll warn you to be careful, get back in his car, turn off all his lights, and vanish.  He won't even leave tire tracks in the dirt.  The cop who pulled you over will be the same one who died.

Another good one is the legend of Annabell.  This one is kind of weird because I may have seen proof.  It's a long story and those who don't believe in ghosts are going to think it's insane so I won't go into it.  Most of Ky was dominated by large farms both livestock and vegetable.  One such farm had a little girl who lived there named Annabell.  Her father was, as legend goes, a very abusive petophile with no qualms about incest.  One night after a particularly violent session he discovered that he had murdred Annabell.  He torched the house to cover his tracks.  Even with the poor science and doctors of the time there were still suspicions about her death.  The doctors believed that she was dead before the fire began but they couldn't find any concrete evidence to prove it.  Because of this her father was never brought to justice.  Now her restless spirit hangs around the area where she lived.

That one is rooted in historical fact.  Annabell was a little girl who lived on a large horse farm in that area of Ky in the 1800's.  She did die in a fire.  She was the only one who died in that fire.  And the doctors did believe that she was dead before the fire "killed" her.

The Headley\Whitman house is also rumored to be haunted.  At night you're supposed to be able to hear carriges and cars and stuff pulling up the gravel driveway.  Doors open, floors creak, and other odd "paranormal" things occur.  There's a website somewhere that has the bulk of the hauntings and other related stuff in Kentucky.  Just google the term "Haunted Kentucky".

here are some of the few in my town

Long lake monster:  Kinda like the loch ness monster, but smaller

UFO's: this guy that lives down the road from me owns a UFO bar.  He takes a bunch of people up on the mountain at night and take pictures of the supposed ufos.  He even has christmas lights on his yard in shapes that are supposed to attract the aliens.

werewolf:  Theres supposed to be a werewolf running rampant through my town

General "Mad Anthony" Wayne

Anthony Wayne was born near Philadelphia at Waynesborough, Chester County, Pennsylvania, January 1, 1745. Wayne was named for his grandfather, who had fought with the British army before emigrating to America. After studies in Philadelphia, Wayne surveyed the coast of Nova Scotia and later returned to the family farm in Pennsylvania.
With the outbreak of war with England in 1776, Wayne was commissioned a colonel and assisted General Benedict Arnold in his retreat from Quebec. He held various positions with the Continental Army and shared with General George Washington the long winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge. In 1779, Wayne and his troops captured the English garrison at Stony Point, N.Y. This assault, according to writer Richard Battin, came against the "strongest British post on the Hudson River."

It was during this period that he earned the nickname "Mad Anthony" from his troops for his fearlessness and quick temper.

After the war, Wayne was recalled as a major general by Washington in 1792 to lead the Legion of the United States, (the newly formed United States Army) against the native American forces in Ohio and Indiana. The United States under Generals Harmar and St. Clair had suffered successive defeats to a confederation of tribes, Wayne's troops defeated the native Americans at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, Ohio. The victory led to the Wayne's Treaty of Greeneville in 1795, which opened the Northwest Territory to settlement.

Returning from battle in Michigan, Wayne grew ill from gout and died in Erie on December 15 or 16, 1796. He was buried beneath the blockhouse on Presque Island, Erie.

In 1809, Wayne's son Isaac disinterred his remains for reburial in the family plot at St. David's Cemetery in Chester County. Local residents wanted to keep Wayne's remains at the blockhouse grave. Unknown to Isaac Wayne, Dr. James Wallace boiled Wayne's body in a cauldron and separated the flesh from the bones. Wayne's flesh and clothing were reburied at the blockhouse. The bones were given to Isaac who transported them by wagon to Chester County and reburial at St. David's Cemetery.
