Red Lady of Huntingdon College
According to legend, the Red Lady was a miserable student who attended Huntingdon college only at her father’s insistence. Becoming increasingly withdrawn and her behavior becoming increasingly erratic, she eventually dressed in all red and slashed her own wrists, ending her life.
Excerpt:
The sad girl, abandoned by the one person she had believed to be her only friend, allegedly formed the habit of wandering into rooms where the other girls were congregating, but her presence cast a chill upon the groups and they would soon find flimsy excuses for leaving her alone. Then, with a feeling of alienation from all humankind, she would return to her solitary sleeping quarters, where she would wrap herself in her red bedspread and retreat from the whole world.
Later, Martha’s behavior allegedly became even more strange: She would wait until the lights were out, and then she would visit one dormitory after another, never saying a word but staring into space as if she were in a trance. As time passed, she took to walking up and down the halls during the darkest hours of the night. Often she would alarm the girls by opening and closing their doors, then hurrying away to resume her pitiful promenade. (KEEP READING)

The Thing
For miles, Interstate 10 in Arizona is lined with advertisements for “The Thing” a creepy attraction located just off exit 322. “The Thing” is some creepy-ass mummified being, surrounded by folklore and legend.

The origin of The Thing was established by Syndicated columnist Stan Delaplane, who interviewed Janet Prince in 1956. Prince told him, “[A] man came through here about six years ago.

Ronald Gene Simmons
Simmons was a serial killer in Arkansas who killed 16 people in under a week — many of these people were his own family and children. The descriptions of his crimes are truly awful:
Excerpt:
Shortly before Christmas 1987, Simmons decided to kill all the members of his family. On the morning of December 22, he first killed his wife Rebecca and eldest son Gene by shooting them with a .22-caliber pistol, and then killed his 3-year-old granddaughter Barbara by strangulation. Simmons dumped the bodies in the cesspit he had made his children dig. Simmons then waited for his other children to return to the house, and after their arrival he told them he had presents for them, but wanted to give them one at a time. He first killed his daughter, 17-year-old Loretta, whom Simmons strangled and held under the water in a rain barrel. The three other children, Eddy, Marianne, and Becky, were then killed in the same way. (KEEP READING)

The Original Night Stalker (Never Caught)
In the 1970s and 1980s, there was a serial killer who committed at least 50 rapes and 12 murders. He completely stumped police and is still assumed to be at-large today.

His initial modus operandi was to stalkmiddle class neighborhoods at night looking for women who lived in single-story homes, generally located near a school, creek, or other open space that afforded a quick escape. He was spotted on a number of occasions, but sprinted away upon detection. (KEEP READING)
