10 The lost dutchmans mine
We all want to be rich so we dont have to worry about money ever again but what are
you willing to risk in order to get it.
Maybe you will go in search of the missing dutchmans mine but Ill have to know that it
might be the last time that anyone has heard from you.
The tale goes all the way back to the 1800s, when the land was fought over by the natvie
Americans and the settlers.
There was a Dutch explorer by the name of Jacob Waltz who came in to try and strike
it rich after the land was taken, he heard that people were mining precious metals and
he wanted a piece of the pie.
But no matter where he dug there was nothing to be found.
He heard about a mountainous area where no one had tried digging, he thought he would
head up there and give it a shot.
However there was a good reason no one went looking around there, the native americans
said the area was cursed, they wouldnt go near the place.
But this didnt stop Waltz, he wanted money more than he was afraid of superstition, he
went up there and guess what.
He found one of the largest copper deposits the town had ever seen.
He was becoming wealthy and other people wanted to know the location of this money hole.
So they would follow him, and everyone who followed him would disappear, getting lost
in the mountains, some people think it could have just poor navigation, while others think
it was the curse, taking the lives of those who were not welcome.
Then one day Waltz fell to his death while climbing the mountain and the location of
the mine was lost forever.
9 The stranded couple
If your driving between Ajo Arizona and Phoenix on the 85, you might see a couple on the side
of the road trying to wave you down for help.
Once you pull over to help them, youll look back and they will be gone.
This ghost couple has been spotted several times, each time trying to get help.
Legend says they were a newly wed couple driving through arizona on their way to celebrate
their honeymoon.
Thats so sweet, I hope nothing back happens to them, well their ghost now so I can promise
you that something bad is about to happen to them.
They crashed into a massive boulder that had rolled its way into the road.
This killed them both instantly, now their spirits are stuck on the side of the highway
just trying to make it to their honeymoon.
That suuuuucks.
8 The Jackalope
Half antelope, half jackrabbit all mystery.
This has been a tale in the southern american states for sooooo long.
The story of a creature that has the horns of an Antelope but the body of jackrabbit
and can move faster than both.
In some tales the creature is way larger than any rabbit and could gore a man in seconds.
This tale Has been disproven many times but maybe thats just because people are trying
to hide this beautiful creature from us.
Maybe its so dangerous that it has to be kept hidden in some containment facility and if
it gets out it could whip out an entire city.
Or maybe it taste super good and all of the global elite are hiding it from us because
they dont want us to eat the goodness of this little creature.
7 Too Hot to Handle
We have already covered that Phoenix is in the desert and is a nice place to get away
to during the winter if you live in Canada.
But it might soon be too hot.
With the increasing temperatures of climate change some people speculate that Phoenix
will become so hot that anyone who stays there will literally fried.
Like that myth about being able to fry an egg on the sidewalk.
That will be true and it will also be you.
Now this is a legend because some people say this is completely false and Phoenix will
be fine, but you wont catch me there staying to find out.
I absolutely love warm weather but I like it to stop before its cooking my insides.
I mean if it does get so hot that people die in the sun you could go live underground like
mole people and come out to hunt at night.
And then we would have a brand new urban legend about the Phoenix mole people.
6 The Phoenix lights
When an entire city sees some UFOs flying around in the sky for over 14 hours, you can
bet that it will stir up some people.
The Phoenix lights were seen might so many people its thought that it might be the largest
UFO sighting of all time.
In 1997 there was a string of 5 lights floating in the sky in a V pattern that were seen hovering
over Phoenix.
The national guard claim that they were just flares, that it was part of a standard training
procedure and there was nothing to be alarmed about.
But when you take a look at them, I have to say that they do not look like flares at all.
Clip3 Those dont look like flares to me but what
do I know I work on a youtube channel and I have zero military experience, or Im actually
a spy undercover, those are really the only two options.
But the phoenix lights have never been explained and every year they get brought up.
Can the government just open up and tell us that aliens are real already.
5 El Chupacabar
This guy is a classic, I could leave him off the list!
If you are unfamiliar with this beast its kind of a cross between a werewolf, a lizard
and something that really wants to ruin your budding goat farm.
The name means Goat sucks and its a beast that sneaks into farms at night and kill farm
animals by sucking their blood until they were bone dry.
Youre just out here trying to make it as a small goat farmer that this thing is messing
everything up for you.
The creature only comes out at night and is said to have grey skin.
In some cases its covered in hair and in others it has more snake like skin.
In all cases its a huge jerk.
Its about the size of a wolf and if you catch him at the wrong time he might attack you.
Also it has the most fun name of any mythical beast
Say El Chupacabra like 8 times
4 Phoenix is overrun by poisonous scorpions
That sounds like a perfect place to visit, there so many scorpions that you find them
in your shoes in the morning and then you die.
Well lets straighten something out, there are scorpions in Phoenix, a lof the southern
states have scorpions and Arizona has the only poisonous scorpion in america, the arizona
bark scorpion.
But stay with me, there is not an insane amount of scorpions in Phoenix and its super rare
to die for a scorpion sting if you get one.
You have a better chance of getting killed by lightning in arizona then a scorpion sting.
So dont let the little pincher bugs stop you for checking out the next cardinals game.
3 The Mogollon monster
Now I know the Mogollon rim is like 2 hours outside of phoenix but this monster has legs
baby it could make its way down to phoenix if he wanted to.
Also it is almost impossible to make an urban legends list without including some sort of
Monster creature, ghost lady or creature in the lake.
I had to do it to em.
Now this beast is basically Arizonas bigfoot, he hangs out in the Mogollon ridge and has
been spotted over 100 times.
Theres no clear photographic evidence of course, what would be the fun in that.
The first sighting dates all the way back to 1908.
The thing is said to have massive claws and an orange tinge to its fur.
It also possibly has some sort of skunk ability, to release a stink cloud that is just brutal.
Because everyone who has ever come in contact with it has said it stinks super bad.
Maybe its just a big hairy dude who chose to live in the forest and now he smells bad
because he never showers.
If you get into monster hunting and want to track this thing down its said to love sweet
things, baked goods and fruit.
But be careful because these creatures are extremely powerful.
I mean its basically a gorilla but bigger.
2 Arizona is the kidnapping capital of America
Well that settles, Im not headed over there.
The last thing I need is a sack thrown over my head and have people cutting my toes off
to send them to my family because they think I have money.
I have less then 100k on instagram, I promise you Im not worth it.
Theres no water in this well.
Now I have read a mix of statistics on this urban legend.
There was a 2008 case study that said people in Phoenix were getting thrown into the back
of painter van more times than Bill Clinton flew on the Lolita express.
But then that study was be bunked and now people dont know what to believe.
Some people think that they are covering up how many people go missing in Phoenix so it
dosent hurt the tourism.
I dont know what to believe but if I want to go somewhere hot and fun I might just go
to mexico instead, I think it might be safer.
1 Phoenix is almost out of water
Every five years or so the story popups up that Phoenix will run out of water soon.
This has been a legend about the city since the 70s and has started picking up steam with
the climate change crisis.
So far there has never been a time where there was no water to go around.
But that hasnt stopped the legend from being something people are constantly worried about.
I mean it makes sense, your in a desert, if everything goes to hell that will be the first
place to have no water.
Phoenix would become some sort of Mad Max city, with people riding around in makeshift
cars gunning each other down for a few liters of the good stuff while yelling GASOLINE!
Alright that is our list and as promised Im going to do some more pet shoutouts, Remember
