South Carolina – Boo Hags
According to legend, Boo Hags are a super gross combination of Succubus and Vampire, with the attractive sexuality of neither. They are skinless beings who sneak into your house while you sleep, and gain their life from sucking out your breath, and sometimes tear off a piece of your skin and wear it to keep themselves warm. You know, as you do when you’re a hideous nocturnal supernatural being who has to steal the lifeforce of others to survive.
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.)
