The Most Popular Urban Legends From All 50 States

The Green Clawed Beast In The Ohio River – Quitman, IN

The Green Clawed Beast resembles a swamp monster, but folks in Quitman, Indiana would disagree that their monster is anything like the classic swamp monster. This creature has extremely hairy arms and sharp, pointy claws with green skin. Apparently, it likes to grab women and drag them into the river.

The Bandaged Man – Cannon Beach, OR

The Bandaged Man urban legend originated at this abandoned logging mill. According to the legend, a logger had an accident at the mill and was skinned alive. Teenagers who break into the abandoned mill have claimed to see a skinless, loosely bandaged man hiding out in the corners. He gives off a putrid rotting flesh smell.
