50 Bizarre Stories That Haunt Every State

Connecticut – Vampires, Jewett City

This story is kind of historically cool but factually sad. In 1854, a family from Jewett City was mostly killed by a nasty bout of tuberculosis. The members of the family that did not succumb to the disease decided that the sickness was a curse from their dead family members that made said dead family members thirst for living blood. Being reasonable folk of the mid 1800’s, they exhumed their dead relatives and burned them. Some people claim that this family inspired Bram Stoker, but that’s up for debate.

  1. 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.)
