What legends or folklore of your home country are you afraid of?

Recommended Posts

Every nation and culture has its own legends and folklore of cryptids or hauntings. I’ve met a lot of Brits that are terrified of the tower. I know a couple Canadians who won’t go within 100 emiles of the Banff Springs Hotel. And don’t get me started on Americans. Civil War battlefields, the White House, Stull cemetery, Amityville, random incarnations of Bigfoot, La Llorona, Mothman, and hundreds (possibly thousands) of others.

For me, I honestly don’t know. It takes a hell of a lot to truly scare me.

But what one story, location, object absolutely scares you the most from your homeland? Have you experienced it firsthand yourself?

Honestly, it also takes a lot to scare me. Even most jumpscares barely get a reaction out of me but I do know that there are loads of people who are afraid of going to Rose Hall Great House because they're afraid of the witch Annie Palmer that reportedly haunts it. I'm not going to lie, there's an ominous vibe around the place at nights like something's there but it doesn't really scare me.

I thought you would bring up Rose Hall, but I also thought you might mention duppies as well.

While I’m not afraid of her, searching for Molly Crenshaw is a bit of a rite of passage here. Her story is a little long, so heres a link to it. Snipe hunting is another if someone is dumb enough to fall for it.

We also have our own version of Bigfoot as well, that’s known as Momo. Missouri (MO) monster. Hence, Momo. Most states have a Bigfoot story. There’s the skunk ape, which I think is Floridas Bigfoot. Then there’s the traditional Bigfoot up in the Washington/Oregon area on the American side, and British Columbia/Alberta area on the Canadian side of the border.

I remember those stories about duppies when I was younger especially in the rural areas.
