urban legend

Urban legends have captivated us from ancient eras to the modern day; a deep dive into scary lore and 'could be true' tales about Bigfoot, Slender Man, the Suicide Forest and beyond.

Size Doesn't Matter
The Little People Legends of little people have been heard from all around the world and in many cultures. Many of the Legends are from Native American tribes. Today we are going to focus on the Passamaquoddy Indians legend. The Passamaquoddy Indians mainly resided in two primary areas. One was Indian Township in Princeton and the other was Pleasant Point Reservation in Perry. The Passamaquoddy Indians also lived across the border in Canada.

Why not believe in the unknown?
Legends are stories told in scary campfire tales and sleepovers. Tidbits get scrambled and added, but the core of the legends remain intact.

This Good Deed Will Save Your Life!
Catherine's Hill Maine has a beautiful landscape and where there is beauty, there is terror. This legend starts like most paranormal hot spots and that is with an unfortunate death leaving a spirit trapped on earth to forever wander. Catherine's Hill is located near Fox Pond and Black's Woods Area in Hancock County (between Franklin and Cherryfield on Route 182). The legend says that Catherine will approach vehicles and ask for a ride, sometimes to Bar Harbor, for those who decline to suffer a variety of consequences.

Creepy Creatures and Myths #5: What the Hell is an 'Agropelter'?
What the hell is an Agropelter? Well, it's a "fearsome critter." What is one of those? It's apparently a step below the standard cryptid, as people seem less inclined to believe so-called fearsome critters actually exist. Indeed, the Agropelter seems to match that category, as it is apparently a tall tale linked to lumberjack lore. Basically, an Agropelter is an ape-like creature with long, whiplike arms that can throw logs (and presumably sticks and rocks) at any people who piss it off. In other words, if you could somehow meet an Agropelter, you'd better run quick or come equipped with an Agropelter-repellant. They don't call them fearsome critters for nothing!

The Black Cat in the Attic
I remember hearing tales of the Black Cat all of my life growing up in the Appalachians. A superstitious town, with superstitious people situated between mountain Valleys, and seemingly disconnected from the modernized world.

Haunted Movie
What is it with old vacant homes that bring out the fear in us? What about those falling apart marionettes? Especially those that are supposed to be clowns? I blame Stephen King and his story, IT. The literal God of horror he is. I still blame my mother for getting into all things old, ghostly and haunted; though I'm not mad about it. It just gave me a better appreciation for Halloween and how it can be just as pretty as Christmas lights on a snowy night. If you know what to look for that is.
