In my region the worst thing we have is a set of 13 graves that just appeared one night about 70 years ago. They where all empty. Oooo...
Umm, well, yeah.. Theres the Bell Witch. She's not an evil entity, more like a good one. Here, I'll explain the story. Though, don't assume the one I'm telling you is the one true one, there are many, this just happens to be the one I like, and has more accounts.
There was a married couple living in south-east Tennessee, just before the civil war. They were a happy couple, or so the wife thought. They owned slaves, even though it was uncommon in eastern Tennessee, and some people looked down on them because of this. One day, the wife found her Husband sleeping with one of the slaves. She became sickened with grief and ran and hid in a near-by cave. All the townspeople claimed she had begun witch craft, and the husband set-out to kill her and clear his name. Well, no one ever heard from Mr. Bell again, there was much speculation, no-one ever dared go to the far reaches of the cave in fear that the witch was still alive. That was, of course, until they decided to turn the cave into a tourist attraction. Thats when things got weird. For instance, one man who everyone knew was unfaithful to his wife, lost his way in the cave, and the next week, they found him buried in the old house where the bells used to live. He was buried in the cellar. Despite this, they finished cleaning of the cave, and the because most people believe the wife of the man had just come up with a clever way of killing him. They also turned the house into part of the attraction. But remember, I said she was a good spirit, right? Well, Mrs. Bell was never able to have children, but she loved them dearly. As such, her spirit did too. One day, a small boy got separated from the tour group. This happened when they turned all the lights out, as they do in most cave tours. He found his way out of the cave all on his own. Strange part of this is, he had no way of emitting light. When asked how he navigated the cave, he simply said, "The white lady, she told me where to go." So, I leave the rest to you, is the Bell Witch a good entity, or a bad one?

I wish.
I love cryptozoology, but there's nothing near me.
EDIT: Yay at above post! but nno sightings since 1938 if I remeber correctly.

Lemme think...last month I hatched out a baby dragon, waitied until it hit 30 pounds, then slaughtered, barbecued, and ate it; I think my neighbor's oldest son is some kind of voodoo werewolf; last night a fox that was 3 times larger than any I'd ever seen wandered into the yard and took three buckshot rounds to the upper body before it showed any noticable signs of pain (it ran away); my friends claim that I'm a vampire (I'm not...I think); and I'm pretty sure the local high school only takes zombies.
Oh wait, those are regular teenagers. Scratch that last one.

Ha, my dad was going to buy a house in Croglin and told me about the legend there. Sadly the house needed too much doing it but that's by the by.Grouchy Imp said:
Down here in Anglia we have legends of Black Dogs. Ghostly black hounds that supposedly appear to travellers as warnings of impending death or other misfortune.
We have plenty of ghost stories in the town though, especially seeing as two battles of the English civil war were fought around here. Ghostly soldiers on the anniversary of the battle of Naseby are apparently still seen, or the thundering of horses hooves or screams of pain yet there is noting there.
We have an old Abbey which was shut down by Henry VIII which has a couple of stories, one of the theatres, an old school. The local villages all have their little folk stories. My Pap used to tell me the story of Bobby Bannister when I was little, used to scare me lol.
Uh. There are a lot of Dutch legends and beasts, but the one that instantly jumps to mind is about Witte Wieven, which is sort of dialect for White Women or White Ladies, which refers to the white swirls of morning fog that could be seen in the forests and over the bogs when those were still plentiful. They were believed to be witches or ghosts in common folklore, I believe.
I think Slender Man might be lurking around my area. Little odd but interesting...and horrifying.
Sorry about the double post but this made me laugh sooooooooooo much. 1000000pts to you for South Park reference!Furious Styles said:
I live in Manitoba, part of Canada. We have something called Manipogo that's supposed to live in one of our huge lakes that are like inland seas. It's like Nessie, but the legends surrounding it date back to the time of the natives. Could be a pleisiosaur.
Oh and for all of you nature-deprived britons, I just came back from camping where we had to lock up our garbage at night or else the black bears will come for a visit. Seriously. The other night we left out a small bag of garbage and when we woke up the bag was ripped to pieces and garbage was everywhere, but in this case we think it was just a muskrat (huge aquatic rat the size of a housecat, my native grandparents used to trap them for fur and eat the meat, which is delicious like rabbit).
