Kek'd

I grew up in north western Poland, in a village close to a large lake.

>Be about 15 yo. Took a dog for a walk one evening (good excuse for a fag). Walking near the lake and suddenly overwhelming feeling of dread hits me like a train.
>Out of a sudden can hear sound of a boat engine in a little canal, about 100 meters from where I stand. Look in that direction - water is empty, no sign of a boat. Not funny.
>And then clearly hear child laughter, like if group of children was playing.
>Looked at my dog, big fearless fucker, and he's whining and cowering.
>NOPE NOPE NOPE. We dash for home.

Now, this region used to be part of Germany before 1945, when it was given to Poland. Whole german population was evicted and send to Germany, but before it happened, dozens of families commited suicide. Nazi propaganda used to tell them that Russians would rape and kill anything that moves, so some Germans decided to kill themselves instead.

>Few years later moved to another house, in a village 2 km from the first one, on the shores of the same lake.
>Been talking with a neighbour about the Germans and war and shit.
>Apparently back in 1945, few weeks before the Soviets came, a local man took his wife and children into his boat, took a boat to the middle of the lake and capsized the boat so the family drowned, while his neighbours were watching from the shore.
> Suddenly remember the other night. Fuckinghell.jpg

North England fag here. A few Legends from my neck of the woods..

The Lambton Worm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambton_Worm

TL;DR

Local Rich dude catches an Eel while fishing, throws it down a well. It grows to epic proportion and begins eating villagers. He returns from The Crusades and vanquishes the creature. The family have been cursed ever since. There were creepy old men, witches and prophecies involved along the line.

It was going to be used as a plot for the movie "The Wicker Man 2", but was shelved.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauld_Lad_of_Hylton

The Ghost of Hope Road.

A taxi driver driving along Hope Road sees a young girl walking in the road. She looks dazed, and as if she has been attacked, so he offers her a lift home. They get to the house and the driver knocks on the door. He explains to the Parents that he has their daughter in the taxi, and she's in quite a state. The Parents tell the driver that their Daughter is dead, and this isn't the first time that a Taxi driver has knocked on their door claiming to have their daughter in the car. He returns to the car and she isn't there.

Ok let's get spooky then, can't find any english links about those stories so if someone has it please share.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affaire_du_Coral
Pedophilia scandal in an institute in Paris. The institute was supposed to help people and especially children who had several difficulties (some where disabled, other just poors, etc..).
Now here the thing about it : A 6 years old child has been found dead there, his head was in a shit bucket and he had been sodomized.
Some famous politicians, writters and philosophers had been involved as possible "client" but in the end only 7 people who were working there were jailed (max sentence = 2 years in jail) and they never found out about the whole network (according to them there weren't such things as a network).
It's almost impossible to find good documentations about this case which is quite weird.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcel_Vervloesem

This is heavely related to this case. This guy called himself a "pedo hunter", he gathered a lot of child porn and send it to the french and belgian police. According to him, Netherland and Belgium were the center of some global human traffic, especially kids and they were used for all kind of sexual deviancies, directly related to the Coral's scandal.

He was sentenced because he owned CP and police never investigated the documentations he has provided them because it was "useless" according to them.

I won't say much more about the subject but if you look at some pedophilia cases in the north of France (pedophilia cases are more regular in the north of France, close to Belgium) you can actually see a lot of weird occurences that show that all the "lone wolves" who have been arrested there might only be "providers" for those pedo networks.

Might come back with some folklores and urban legend stuff, and sorry for all the english mistakes I may have made.
