the notification bill cropsy New York this urban legend comes from the state
of New York cropsy is said to be a man who had a
hook for a hand he would stalk out a mental institution for children at night
he would go into the hospital and take children from it he would then take the
children's lives pretty much everyone who's ever been camping in New
York has heard about this legend and for many years it was exactly that a legend
but things got sinister when a documentary pointed out that cropsy was
actually real the children's mental hospital was real it was shut down
because of its terrible practices and cropsy was a real-life person named
Andre Rand he took the lives of many children and
he's currently serving 25 years to life in prison eligible for parole in 2037
Hell's Gate Bridge Alabama this story starts in the 1950s a young couple were
driving over the bridge one night when their car went wild it then fell off the
bridge and they both drowned ever since then people say that if you drive your
car into the middle of the bridge and turn off your lights the couple will
appear they will appear in the back seat of your car if no one's sitting in it
this only works at night and apparently they even leave a wet spot on the seat
after you drive off some walking on the bridge have even reported seeing this
couple at night because of all of the reports of weird things happening in the
bridge it's closed to cars you can still walk on it but it's strongly discouraged
that's because the bridge has since been abandoned and is in disrepair
homey the clown Illinois despite the name this one has nothing to do with the
Simpsons
homey the clown was actually a clown from the TV show in living color but all
through the suburbs of Chicago there's been this terrible story coming around a
man dressed as homey the clown drives around in a white van near elementary
schools he would drive around and if he saw a kid on his own he would offer him
candy and money but then he would take that kid and he was never seen again but
this isn't just an urban legend it's a real story John Wayne Gacy actually took
many kids lives in the Chicago area it's thought he may have taken the lives
of over 40 kids and one of his jobs was dressing up as Pogo the clown and going
to kids parties so that's likely the origin of the homey the clown urban
legend Bunny Man Virginia this legend starts in an insane asylum
the people of Clifton Virginia were very upset about this insane asylum they were
tired of living near such crazy and scary people they protested saying to
shut it down so they did one night all of the patients were being transferred
Bert the patient's distracted the driver on the bus they were being moved on this
caused the bus to crash and all of the patients escaped within 24 hours cops
were able to catch all of them except one the bunny man the bunny man now
lives in the woods and sustains himself on woodland creatures for example
bunnies but he went on to start hunting humans soon after many people in
Virginia reported almost being injured by a man with a hatchet one group of
teens were even found passed away under a bridge and this bridge has been deemed
Bunnyman bridge ever since cha man California the cha man is a very
gruesome story in 1948 a father and a son were caught up in a house fire they
were both physically very badly burned but after the fire the son became it
mentally unstable one day he went mad and took the life of his father with a
rope when the police found the son he was so unrecognizably burned they
didn't realize he was alive that was when he suddenly got up and ran away
they chased him but lost him and that's how he was able to get away without
being arrested for taking his dad's life ever since then at many reports seeing
cha man wandering around the woods of Ojai sometimes he'll approach hikers and
campers and also cause pretending to be a hitchhiker but then as soon as he gets
close enough he attempts to hurt them the black angel Iowa the black angel is
located in Oakland Cemetery Iowa it's a gigantic statue which is over eight feet
tall the metal has gone all black because it's oxidized most people in
Iowa don't know what this actually is but there's a scary backstory to this
statue it's said that if a pregnant woman walks under her then she will lose
her child and it's also said that if you touch or kiss the statue you will pass
away within six months there have been many cases of this happening but maybe
it's a coincidence but even if it is this statue was a seriously scary sight
to see the candy lady Texas everything is bigger in Texas and when it comes to
urban legends everything is scarier since the early 1900s children in rural
Texas have gone missing and if you ask the residents many will blame it on the
candy lady she is said to go around and leave candy on children's windows
eventually she would lure the kids out with notes attached promising even more
candy the story first got big when a farmer found some rotten teeth on his
farm he then found the body of a boy with his pockets stuffed with candy
little is known about the origin of the candy lady but many believe her to be
Clara Crain Clara Crain was a woman who poisoned her husband with candy it said
she also did the same thing to her daughter she went to prison for some
time but what released and some say that she is the candy lady the devil's chair
Kansas this legend goes back to Alma Kansas one
day the city ordered a farmer to sell his land so they could build a new
Cemetery he refused and the city was very annoyed they Lurie sunk a lot of
money into the new cemetery project so instead of waiting for him to sell they
paid someone to push him into a well this was his own well on his farm
eventually someone said that was a bad smell coming from the world the city
sent someone to investigate but they ruled the well was empty they then
boarded it up and it's never been looked at again on Alma you can actually sit on
the boarded up well but it's said that those who have sat on this well have
been known to disappear mysteriously I think the city likely covered up taking
this farmers life but is the Alma well actually haunted who sacked Tunnel
Massachusetts the who sacked Tunnel is a railway tunnel located in western
Massachusetts it took 24 years to build and during this time 200 construction
workers passed away workers losing their life was so common that many called it
the blood pit they had to release explosions in order to create the tunnel
and in 1868 one explosion caused 13 - to get trapped all of the other workers
assumed the miners had passed away but it was eventually discovered the miners
had lived they'd even built a raft to combat any flooding but eventually they
passed away from poisonous gas inhalation they could have been saved
but the other workers assumed it was too late to this day it said that the 13
miners still haunt the tunnel apparently if you walk into this tunnel you'll hear
their moans and some even report seeing ghosts in the tunnel but now it's time
