Missouri – Molly Crenshaw’s Graves
There are a few different versions of who exactly Ms. Crewnshaw was, and how she died. Some say she was a Haitian or Jamaican woman who was burned as a witch in the 1800’s after a crop failure. In other versions, she’s a voodoo lady and ex-slave who worked said voodoo on her neighbors. What those legends have in common is that supposedly Molly was chopped into pieces and buried in several graves, leaving her separate parts to wiggle together under the dirt and try to reunite. Teenagers have been looking for her graves for over 50 years.
You missed the boat on New Jersey! THE JERSEY DEVIL is most definitely the official haunting creature of the Garden State. Long before NJ was even a state, the legend of the Jersey Devil began. It was the 13th child of Mrs Leeds, who had no desire for another baby. According to legend, she cursed the baby even before it was born. At its birth, the creature assumed otherworldly dimension and flew up the chimney of the home. Since then, the Devil regularly haunts the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, frightening all it encounters. On the eve of a National tragedy, the Devil is said to appear at many varied places in the state to warn of evils to come (most notably in December 1941, just before Pearl Harbor.)
