it's said that the Chumash tribe of Indians (along with rock paintings that might depict them) may have carried the tale to the Spanish invaders but also some Anglo-American travelers, hunters & settlers told tales of same. interesting at least. though it's now conjectured that it just might be a strange trick of the eye brought upon by exhaustion of making such a trek.

These are classic "shadow people" - seen all over the world, not just in the Santa Lucia Mountains. They come in many forms and types - read the book "Darkness Walks" by Jason Offut. Many are dimensional travellers, others are evil. It's best to not to interact with them - though if you can take a quick photo, that would be great!

The hooded figures will not hurt you. Do not enter the Dog Park.

They were brimmed hats or walking sticks with no features so how would you know where to stare the down at, no features no eyes to stare you down. Hummm

maybe it just enough to appear that way. also they are said to appear as tall as 13' - 14' & often wear cloaks or hoods & some tales say they have glowing yellow &/or red eyes, some say no eyes appear. Yikes!

that's rude not to address them properly and how do you acknowledge their presence if your unsure about their existence.

My husband grew up down the street from the graveyard it's in! He and his mom have some super creepy stories from when they lived there.

have actually read stories about her; though NH doesn't have a "good" reputation itself as far as executing women in their small villages/towns that their neighbors accused of witchcraft. during my own visits to NH it always felt a bit creepy as all townsfolk still seem to treat outside visitors with a great deal of suspicion... guess i was rather unfamiliar w/ what seemed like their unfriendly ways & felt like i amongst a horde of very old fashioned, puritans.

If you hear it off in the distance, run. If you hear it relatively close, lay down on your belly, keep your face to the ground, and close your eyes. Stay like that until you no longer hear them.

I am a born and raised Alaskan and have travelled quite a bit within the state and I've never heard of this.

Area 51a is where the real cool stuff happens, it built above Area 51's garage.

The gate to Hell is inside a chicken coop? That explains why all the chickens have been laying deviled eggs.

Every park has a rumor about this. It keeps millions of people from taking “souvenirs” from the parks. Works better than any signs !

It was probably just a bunch of drunk rednecks encountering some great horned owls.

Don't slaughter during wedding ceremony: it's gross and rude... and chances are high that you're going to end up in a meat pie ;p

Much like the Goat Man, this one just makes me laugh for some reason. Probably because I keep picturing a full grown man in a bunny costume hopping around carrying an axe.

Well, I would for sure go insane if I'd see that kind of thing, no matter in the daytime or at night.

If you think this is weird, check out the Dead Frozen Guy Festival. It's a trip.
