Montana: The Haunting of Chico Hot Springs Hotel - The mysterious "Lady in White" supposedly roams the corridors of the Chico Hot Springs Hotel in Pray, scaring guests and staff members.

Her rocking chair is sometimes found in other rooms as well, always facing the window, no matter the position the last person left it in. Are you familiar with this legend?

Nebraska: The Hatchet House - The legend of the "Hatchet House" of Portal reminds us of those scary ghost stories we used to tell each other at camp. As the legend goes, a school teacher from long ago went insane and decapitated all of her students in the one-room schoolhouse. Afterward, she placed their heads on their respective desks and took all of their hearts to a nearby bridge. She threw the organs into the water, and people say you can still hear the hearts beating if you cross it, hence its name "Heartbeat Bridge." Are you familiar with this legend?

New Hampshire: The Legend of Chocorua - Mount Chocorua was named after a native American chief who lived in the early 1700s. Legend has it that he left his son with the Campbell family, while he went away on tribal business. While under the family's car, his son died (perhaps accidentally, perhaps not). To exact revenge, Chief Chocorua killed the white man's wife and children. Then the surviving Campbell chased Chocorua to the top of a mountain and shot him dead, but not before the Chief had placed a terrible curse upon the land. It is said that the land, now known as Chocorua Lake Conservancy, will inflict suffering and death on anyone who tries to live there or drink from its rivers. Are you familiar with this legend?

New Jersey: The Ghost Boy of Clinton Road - The ghost of a young boy is said to reside beneath one of the bridges on this road in Passaic County in northern New Jersey. As the legend goes, he's quite helpful, not to mention honest: If you drop a coin into the water, he will return it to you within 24 hours. It has become a rite of passage for local teens to go test it out. Are you familiar with this legend?
