Results: Spookiest Urban Legends from Every State (Part Two)

Colorado: The Ridge Home Asylum - The Ridge Home Asylum was a real facility that opened in Arvada in 1912. It reportedly housed patients who were horribly mistreated—some of whom weren't even mentally incapable, but had just been forsaken by their family. Though it was demolished in 2004, people say they can still hear the screams and see the apparitions of former patients on the grounds. Are you familiar with this legend?

Connecticut: Dudleytown - The misfortunes that have occurred in Dudleytown are so terrible and numerous that its nickname is "the Village of the Damned." The now completely deserted town is said to have been home to many suicides, disappearances, and even demonic activity. It is believed that the founders of the village—and by extension, the village itself—are forever cursed. Are you familiar with this legend?

Delaware: Fort Delaware - A prisoner camp during the Civil War, Fort Delaware in Delaware City was ultimately home to more 30,000 Confederate soldier inmates. The few thousand that died before they could leave the Union fort are said to still haunt the area. Are you familiar with this legend?

Florida: Captain Tony's - Since 1852, Captain Tony's, the oldest saloon in Key West, has been known to be haunted: doors slam for no apparent reasons and there are inexplicable banging noises and frequent ghostly visitations. Perhaps that's because it's the site of the town's original morgue and was built around a tree that the town once used for hanging pirates! Are you familiar with this legend?

Georgia: "The Song of the Cell" - As the story goes, in 1848 Elleck and his wife, Betsy, both slaves, were in their home one night when their master, drunk and belligerent, crashed open the door. He attempted to attack Betsy, but Elleck fought him off. Undeterred, the master chased Elleck up a ladder into a loft. As the struggle continued, the master lost his balance, fell out of the loft, and died. Even though Elleck turned himself into the sheriff the next morning, explaining that what happened was in self-defense, he was still charged with murder (par for the course in the antebellum south). Elleck was imprisoned in the Old Lawrenceville Jail and later executed unjustly for the crime. People say they can still hear his sorrowful song traveling through the walls of the old jail.
