AFTER DARK | Melon Heads in the Winter Woods : Urban Legends and Creepy Folklore

from The Whispering Woods : Real Life Ghost & Paranormal Stories

On frozen backroads from Ohio to Michigan and Connecticut, stories persist of small, feral figures with grotesquely swollen heads stalking the tree line. From Dr. Crow’s abused “patients” on Wisner Road to asylum escapees along Connecticut’s infamous “Dracula Drive,” the Melon Heads legend blends real medical conditions, social cruelty, and spooky eyewitness accounts into one of America’s most unsettling modern monster tales.The BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch:https://www.geaugamapleleaf.com/news/revenge-of-the-melonheads-urban-legend-or-real-life-horror-part-1/https://www.damnedct.com/murder-on-melon-head-road/https://www.clickondetroit.com/features/2017/01/18/the-legend-of-the-michigan-melon-heads/https://wwmt.com/news/local/michigans-melon-heads-legend-has-its-roots-in-allegan-countyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melon_headshttps://www.onlyinyourstate.com/experiences/connecticut/haunted-road-melon-heads-ct/Sarah xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.
