There's the story of the beheaded Baptist. It goes something like this, a preacher was late for services at a rural church one Sunday. the congregation waited and eventually decided to go look for him. At just that time they heard a knock at the door and there stood the preacher without his head. They went looking for his head and found it next to some RR tracks where he had fallen out of his buggy and the train lopped it off. I usually round this up with extras like a little drinking etc. and set it near the locale where I tell the story.

I have seen and heard quite a bit.  I investigate the paranormal and also live in a house with some activity.  \n\nI have quite a bit of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) recorded.  Just two nights ago, I recorded someone saying, "Go back", "Interesting" and "Can you hear that?".  The recording also includes kids laughing, moans and someone blowing gently into the mic.\n\nI once saw a drop of water fall from the bathroom ceiling into a bowl in the tub.  I even heard it land and saw ripples.  There was no sign of water on the ceiling and the bowl was nowhere near the faucet.\n\nI saw my daughter standing across my bedroom staring at me.  I looked away and looked back.  She was still there.  I did that again and she was gone.  It wasn't my daughter because she is very afraid of the upstairs.  She senses a presence that doesn't want her up there.  Besides, I would have heard her go up and down the sqeaky stairs.\n\nShe has seen a bearded man in army fatiques standing near her in the living room.  Also, in her bedroom, was a little girl in a white dress messing with the blinds.\n\nMy 2 yr old son was in my bedroom and told me he saw a "ghost dog".  He ran and hid under my covers.  He wouldn't come out for quite some time and wouldn't let me talk about the dog.

Have you tried the "Native American Indian Resources" website? \n\n"Native American Myths" is another website with lots of links.\n\n"American Folklore" has a lot of information on Native American myths and legends.

I think Loren Coleman is great. I've read his books and I've seen and heard numerous interviews. He has some very neat stories to tell :0) Check out his interview on www.ghostlytalk.com!

thanks for that fantastic site.  i looked some stuff up...  not bad, not bad, but it could be better.\n\nthe monticello/crying baby bridge.\ni've been there.  it is not an urban legend, though the story i've heard is different.  there wasn't a 2-buggy crash, as much as one just went off the bridge.  the man and wife escaped, but the baby they were unable to rescue.  those old bridges in the back farm areas of illinois only have two slats for your wheels, so if you mess up it's the river for you!  the bridges are still there.. o'er the sangamon river.  ...  in fact, the whole area around the sangamon river is haunted.\n\nthe champaign/university of illinois--any building.  they're ALL haunted.  university high school is haunted, as well.  you can even feel their presence (yes, multiples) during at midday.  in fact, the champaign, urbana, savoy area (for those of you who don't know, they're basically all connected.. even have a tri-city bus system.  all cemetaries are haunted.  all old buildings are haunted.  the whole place is a veritable hot-spot of activity.  heck, right now i work in a little "mall" on campus... which is more haunted than any cemetary.  the ghostie there is quite the prankster, and takes delight in scaring you.  nothing malicious, of course!  heck, if i were a ghost, i'd haunt people like that, too!  he likes to stomp up and down the stairs late at night, making noises, and laughs when you go to check them out.

GHOSTS? Yes. In the summer of 1977 a ghost took up residency in my electric fan. It was very entertaining. Had a penchant for ABBA tunes and sang to me in a weird electric voice. It lasted for just a few months then disappeared. I still miss the ghost.  \nWITCHES? Yes. I went to elementary school with a girl whose father was a Warlock. Nice guy but those big bushy eyebrows made him look scary.  \nKELPIE? Yes. When I was very young I saw a "pony" swimming in a bayou in Baywood, Louisiana. I ran home and told my Grandad about the swimming pony. Grandad asked me what color it' eyes were. Red I told him. Grandad became excited and told me it wasn't a pony at all. He called it a Kelpie. He said a Kelpie was a water "imp" that took the guise of a horse to entice innocent folk into the water with it. Once the victim entered the water the Kelpie would return to it's true demonic form and drown the happless swimmer.  Grandad forbade me to return to the bayou ever again and I never did.\nBLOODY MARY? Yes. I remember some years back I was dining at a truck-stop. A drunken trucker was dared into saying "Bloody Mary's" name three times. He did. After the 3rd time he excused himself to use the bathroom. He never returned. The cook went into the bathroom to see if he was ok. The bathroom was empty and quiet except for a broken mirror over the sink. No trace of the trucker at all. I heard his Semi stayed parked at the truck stop for 4 days before it was towed.\nVAMPIRES? Yes. I saw one years ago as a spectator at a carnival. He was a pale, bald, bony man dressed in black & gray. He was wiping his mouth of what looked like ketchup. He caught me watching him. I felt uncomfortable and turned to walk away. As I did I faced a Fun-House mirror. There was no reflection of the strange man. He was right behind me! Surely there would be a reflection! There wasn't. That's when I realized he was a vampire. I ran through the mid-way until I caught up with my friends. I never told them about the vampire because I knew they would never believe me. \nJACK the RIPPER? Yes. There is documented proof Jack the Ripper existed. The question is who do you believe he was? Some Historians say he was a respected Surgeon others believe he was a prominent member of High Society while others claim he was a member of Brittain's Royal Family. Me? I'd have to go with the Surgeon theory because of the proffessionalism of the knife wounds. Experts claim the wounds were very precise and were administered with expertise. \nCANDYMAN? Yes. The legend of the Candyman is just a variation of the "Bloody Mary" legend. They are one and the same theory but the Bloody Mary legend is much older than the Candyman .  \nBLACK CAT THAT CROSSES YOUR PATH? Absolutely. A black cat has no supernatural powers ......unless it is a "Familiar" sent by a witch to cast a spell. A familiar is an animal (cat, owl, rodent, wolf, etc.) charmed by a witch or other sorcerror to cut-off or "cross" an intended victims path. By doing so the essence of the spell or curse will possess the victim. Folk-lore has it....since the animals were small or at least not very large they were only capable of containing mild spells like clumsiness or "bad luck". Fortunately A cursed black cat is the only supernatural element I have not encountered in my strange and very eventful life (aside from Jack the Ripper that is!)...So far!

Anything with demonic puppets or dolls....chuckey, puppet master and such. I don't know if it counts, but moving the spirit to a non-living human doll is mythology right? *looks around for someone to agree*\n\nI also like the Wishmasters (genies- djinn)\nThe urban legends movies were okay.\nThe lepracaun movies were just sad (death by pogo stick *droll stare*)\nThe vampire movies like Interview with a vampire (great) and Aaliyah's Queen of the damned (okay) are good myth/horrors too.

Try this idea..........For halloween we take a walk around the block with the kids and adults that want to go.....Everytime we come to a house that is empty and for sale, one of us makes up a story as to why they are moving, or who died there, or who was murdered there...........Some of our made up stoies are quite elaborate........they can be funny, sad or downright  gruesome.\nIt.s up to the storyteller to hold the interest of all.  Good luck!
