Can most of the supernatural fans agree that 1x02 was the scariest episode of the whole series

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.

I'm guessing this is a common one? There's a goatman story in north Texas too.

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.

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.

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