Well, the big enchilada of urban legends around these parts has gotta be Stull Cemetery, located in the tiny little town of Stull, Kansas. Just Google it to read some really interesting tales. There's a ton of really wacky legends about the place - which have resulted in people traipsing all over and causing all kinds of problems for the locals, so the cops really watch the place. I've never been out there, but the tales sound a bit *too* fantastic to be true.

According to local legend, it is the evilest place on earth. Even the Pope is supposed to be afraid of it. (HA!) It is one of the places that is rumored to be the Seventh Gate to Hell. It's said that the Devil's child was buried there, that he comes back as some kind of a werewolf, that the Devil comes there to visit a witch's grave, etc. There were all sorts of interesting legends about the burned-out shell of a church that used to stand out there - I think townspeople came and tore it down in the middle of the night to make people stop coming, although I don't know if it worked.

The cave of the Bell Witch is pretty close, does that count?

Secret caves and tunnels under a city that is famous as a major centre for Satanists and Wiccans. Used to have a legal opium trade/production thing going on 100 + years ago. China town has tunnels as well...oldest China town on Pacific Coast, next to the one in SF CA. Tunnels linked to Satanic rituals, super elite wealthy and powerful people in the city.

Search Green Mans Tunnel. thats a local spot about 5 minutes from my house. a fun tunnel also.

One from the UK, although this may be some sort of ghost/haunting thing cross, but in my area there was the old legend of Black Shuck, an enormous demon dog (this is like 1800s or something) he killed several people all over the county, and in one village people barricaded themselves into the church, they found scratches on the church door afterwards. Recently the Darkness wrote a song about him, and the story is being made into a film.

in deerfeild new hampshire theres an old colonial farmhouse that a woman supposedly died in, the story goes that if you are there on such and such a night (the date of her demise) you can hear her body falling down the stairs. ive only been to the house during the day, while im not one to believe in this sort of thing, its still a scary place.

There are a lot around here, but my favorite
has to be the Devil-Worshipper's house. It lies about three miles
outside town on private land in a glade of trees. (I'm being purposely
vague as to the location) Supposedly, the owner was a Satanist and
so on and so on. The house burnt down in an unexplained fire,
leaving just the concrete foundation and steps going up to it,
along with a basement that allegedly contained the bodies of
sacrificial victims. They say on nights of the full moon that the house
reappears and you can see the former owner running through the place,
but never what's chasing him.

I've been there and it's one very creepy place, and my brother-in-law,
a former City Police and Sheriff's Deputy, refuses to talk about
some of the stuff he saw out there.
I may have to get him drunk some night...

Fan death, a couple threads down. Twenty deaths in the last three years attributed to an electric fan in a room with windows closed.

i live in burien, but behind my church in west seattle there is a house that is supposedly haunted, it hasn't been demolished though it's been abandoned for decades..... in the middle of the west seattle junction

Posted by Freak I went to a boarding school for rural students from 9th-12th grade, that place had some wierd legends about it. The dorms were old WWII barracks....

my apartments are WWII military housing

I live in Norwich, CT. The only thing I have going for me (that I know of...) is the State Hospital. Geez, it's like I'm obsessed with it or something...

hmm... my area... well....

For hauntings [don't believe them]:
several buildings in milwaukee, my old high school, there's a house not too far from my town, Marquette University Dorms used to be the Children's Hospital during TB outbreak, ghost trucks that chase you, disapearing hitchikers...


Wierd Stuff (don't believe 1/2 of this):
Haunchyville (town of Midgets... I'm the self-proclaimed expert researcher on the subject lol), Whitewater (the second salem, MA) Thunderbirds, hundreds of UFO sightings, reptile men, bear men, dozens of bigfoot & littlefoot sightings (4-5 foot tall relatives), the world capital of werewolf sightings, um... lake monsters, the hodag, there's some crybaby bridges, 7 bridges park, grave markers that walk around at night, mysterious 'men in black', exorcisms, demon dolls, the list goes on and on...

and WHO KNOWS how many 'satanists in the woods go in at night in the dark and do this and this and then this will happen' kinda stuff is passed around. It's crazy.

Idk what it is about wisconsin, but there are so many urban legends here. Maybe it's the extreme amount of german immigrants in the 1900's, bringing the dark fairy tales with them? I'm not sure, but there's lots of them. Even the writers of the Weird U.S. series thought so, but also said they could have easily written a second book on wisconsin's urban legends, folklore & fakelore, because there's so much of it! I'm seriously surprised that there aren't more crazies stories of ax wielders running around out in the woods. I guess they wouldn't last with all of the hunters though. heh.

there's one in my area,down on soda creek.In the late 1800's a well known adventurer and gold miner named Jauquin Miller found a LARGE quartz bolder embedded with gold,it was his private stash.He would chip a bit out,cover it over with dirt and leaves, then cash it in and travel around.Rumor had it that he carved his initials in a large yew tree across the creek,but no one ever found them or the gold including my buddies and i.

There's a hotel in Va. Beach called the Cavalier. It's really old and has several interesting stories.
One of the original members of the Coors family(from the beer company) fell out of a 6th floor window in what is now room 666 to his death. Sometimes people claim to hear him "fall" in the middle of the night
Also, a young girl drowned in the pool there, and it's said that late at night you can hear her "swimming and splashing in the water"
There is also a piano and room that you can supposedly hear a party in.
This hotel was also used during one of the wars to house soldiers and has many underground tunnels and secret passages.
It's a really neat place and has lots of opportunities for exploration.
There is better info out on the net with more details, just search google for cavalier hotel virginia beach, va ghost stories

The best UE urban legend around the twin cities is the legend of Mr Creepy.
http://hollow-hill...creepy-by-greykat/

http://hollow-hill...w-mr-creepy-remix/

I created that UL to see how fast it would spread in the UE community or if it would just die. It took off and most TC area explorers have heard the legend of Mr Creepy now. We even had a guy use Mr Creepy as his screen name! Try it sometime and see if you can start a urban legend.

LOL, that's great you started a UL. I was going to.... I tried to find a good bridge for a bunnyman legend in the area, but me & my friend were unable to. I still might try though. I've always been a good storyteller, and because I do so much research in so many topics, people almost always believe what I say to be true, or as true as where I heard of it. Outside of HS's tho, there's no real group of people in my area. Perhaps I'll give it a go tho.

update:

if I ever take someone UEing that's a little looser on the non-believer front, I might try telling them the 'i heard a story about this place online' kinda thing
