Top Ten Urban Monsters and Legends
Do you believe in urban legends? You know, stories that come from a friend of a friend of a friend that are often fantastical and hard to believe? Most people dismiss them to be complete hogwash, but still some are firm believers, especially if that story involves some sort of monster or creature, and it’s those creatures that we will talk about today.
From the spirits of supposedly hundreds of drowned babies to Jersey’s own devil, here are the 10 urban monsters and legends.
Number 10. Water Babies
According to Native American lore, water babies are otherworldly creatures in Utah Lake and in Massacre Rocks State Park in Idaho. How they ended up in the latter location is a truly chilling tale.
The ones that can be found in Massacre Rocks are believed to be the spirits of young children of the Shoshone tribe. The people were starving so choosing death over starvation, they drowned all their children in the river.
People say that if you sit at the rocks, you can still hear their eerie cries. While some stories claim that the babies simply drowned, others suggest that they adapted to life in the water, grew gills, and have sworn revenge on the living.
The Utah water baby is thought to be a different kind of entity altogether. According to Weird US, these water babies were a type of dwarf that lived in the lake and mimicked the sounds of babies crying to drown unsuspecting people.
Number 9. The Gjenganger
When translated directly from Scandinavian, gjenganger literally means “walking after death”. They’re kind of like a cross between a ghost and a zombie, meaning that it maintains its corporeal form, like a zombie, but retain the mind and the memories of its past life, like a ghost.
Gjengangers are created when a dead person has unfinished business, or when their lives are ended in violence, such as murder or suicide. The belief in them dates back to the Vikings, when gjengangers were believed to have been relatively common.
In recent years, gjngangers seemed to have evolved more zombie-like. People have started believing that they can infect the living by pinching them. Typically, the gjengnger will pinch someone while they're sleeping, and the pinched person will then be marked for sickness and death, eventually becoming one of them.
Number 8. Char Man
Just south of Ojai in Ventura County, along Creek Road is Camp Comfort County Park. Although the park looks peaceful enough, it certainly houses its share of spooky spirits. Foremost of them is an entity the locals call Char Man, a hideous spirit burnt beyond recognition that emerges out of the forest and attacks motorists, especially those brave enough to get out of their cars and yell from the bridge. So popular is his legend in the area, that the bridge has been dubbed "Char-Man Bridge".
This creature’s origin story is nothing short of gruesome. According to legend, a father and son were both caught in a house fire and horribly burnt, they say in 1948. After the fire, the son became so deranged that he killed his father. When the police found the son, he was so burnt that they didn't realize he was alive, so he ran away before they were able to arrest him for the murder of his father.
Ever since then, the Char-Man has been spotted wandering the woods surrounding Ojai, occasionally approaching tents of innocent campers, or pretending to be a hitchhiker and then attempting to attack them.
Number 7. The Boggy Creek Monster
The Boggy Creek monster has long captivated the people of Fouke, Arkansas, a little town about 150 miles outside of Little Rock. It is said that it was in Fouke that this cryptid was first spotted, and it stands between seven and eight feet tall on two feet and weighs close to 300 pounds. Its chest, legs, and arms are covered with thick, long hair. It’s like Arkansa’s own version of Big Foot.
Sighting date back all the way to 1834 when people began to report a large, hairy “wild man” was roaming around Arkansas. Come the 1900s, sightings of his large hairy man escalated in and around the town of Fouke. In fact, residents have reported around 40 sightings in 1997 alone.
Many people have ignored these sightings and simply dismissed them as misidentified black bears, a lot of which can be found in the area. They may not be bipedal; they can rear up on two feet. Some even weigh up to 400 pounds and stand six feet tall.
