Pic related, Black Aggie. It's an urban legend about this statue that used to be in a cemetery in Baltimore. The statue was supposedly haunted or cursed and would so shit like talk to people that got close to it.

Oh no. So scary. A fucking ghost.
Why are Marylanders such pansies.
I’ll tell you one from my area. And it’s based in reality not fiction.
Back before mental health reforms in the 70s or so there was a mental health hospital near my house. The people in it lived in conditions comparable to bunkers at the holocaust. They received electro-shock treatment on the regular, and several of them died. They were forced to move after the reforms because the locals were scared the patients would revolt, and start killing them.
Bumping with scary American folklore.
Alabama:
>playground next to Maple Hill, a cemetery in Huntsville
>the playground was presumably designed to entertain kids while their parents visited the graves of loved ones
>legend has it that the spirits of children who've been buried in the cemetery since the first grave was dug there in 1822 come out to play at night
>The living have observed orbs of light going down the slide, seen swings moving on their own, and even heard giggling
>Creepier still, some say the spirits include victims of a rash of child murders that happened in the '60s
California:
>Turnbull Canyon
>Located in LA
>Native Americans used to believe the area was cursed and refused to go in the canyon
>cultists kidnapped a boy in the 1800s, took him to the canyon, and put him on an upside down cross
before beating him and stuffing him into a sack
>took him away and he was never found
>plane crashed in the canyon in the 50s
>21 kids on board
>you can hear their ghosts in the canyon at night
Connecticut:
Often cited as a “dark vortex,” rumor has it that any visitor that steals an artifact from Dudleytown will have a curse put on them and their family. Dudleytown forest visitors report seeing just about every kind of paranormal phenomena you could think of: People describe an unnerving lack of wildlife in the area as well as floating orbs of light and sinister “wolf-like” black shadows, murmurs and disembodied voices, as well as a feeling of general dread. Add on the fact that there’s a mysterious group called “the Dark Forest Association” that polices the grounds with militant force and you’ve got yourself a serious case of the what the hell is really going on here?
Georgia:
Lake Lanier, a lake north of Atlanta, is unnerving on multiple fronts, with a reputation for tragic and sometimes mysterious deaths, from a disproportionately high frequency of boating accidents and drownings to unexplained homicides. A construction crew discovered the skeleton of a woman who disappeared in 1958, still trapped in her car at the bottom of the lake more than 30 years later, and since then people have reported sightings of a ghostly female figure on the lake's waters. There are even reports of malevolent catfish lurking on the bottom that's large enough to swallow a dog or even drown a diver.

I just can't take haunted places seriously that are less than 200 years old
OK, tell your own stories
There's loads of little legends like the Black Shuck of East Anglia which is some kind of demon dog that chases people. I think Ghost dogs and familiars are common in English folklore, Prince Rupert had a poodle (named Boy) that Parliamentarians claimed was the devil's familiar and that witchcraft protected him from death. Poodle died after getting loose during the Battle of Marston Moor which led to Parliamentarian troops celebrating its death. Not really spooky desu, just people trying to rationalise why Prince Rupert didn't die during the war despite being all cavalier.

What makes American so superstitious?

No one believes the stories, they’re just fun to tell. Do you have any from Hungary?
>Colorado
Since the earliest days of being inhabited the San Luis Valley has always been regarded as being a hotspot for paranormal activity. Located under Blanca Peak which served as one of the spiritual borders for the Navajo Indians and was believed by many local tribes to be a portal to the underworld there San Luis Valley is a vast expanse of sandy dunes, flat farmland, and vast pine forests. There have been many strange happenings in the San Luis Valley such as the beheading of Colorado's first serial killer by trappers who some say can still be seen walking the creek bed where he met his end. The valley is also a hotspot for disappearances and animal mutilation that continue to puzzle authorities.
