Spoopy Canada

Heres something for the sake of the thread. Just a spooky urban legend for now, may update later.

Frozen horses of Red River (Manitoba)

This Winnipeg legend begins on a particularly cold winter’s evening in 1926. In a barn on the outskirts of the city, a power cable breaks and sparks a flame that sends a group of horses running for their lives into the snowy night. Galloping into the Red River, the horses eventually freeze solid mid-gallop, heads poking out of the icy banks, their frenzied expressions preserved by the ice and snow. Legend has it that, for the remainder of that bitter winter, locals would walk across the frozen Red River and visit the heads, hosting picnics and field trips among those chilly equine statues.

Does "The Mysterious Valley of the Headless Corpses" sound spooky enough to you?

A spooky story to be sure, but it would not be an isolated case, nor the last victims the valley would claim. In 1917, a Swiss prospector by the name of Martin Jorgenson made his way to Nahanni to try his hand at finding gold. At first, Jorgenson seemed to have settled well in the valley. He built a cabin, ran a small mining operation, and was generally well-known by settlers in the area. When Jorgenson’s cabin mysteriously burned down to the ground, the prospector’s skeleton was found among the ashes without its head, and a search of the charred remains of the cabin found no trace of the skull. In 1945, a miner from Ontario was found dead in his sleeping bag without his head. Around the same time, a trapper named John O’Brien was found frozen to death in the nearby wilderness with his hands clutching a pack of matches in a death grip right next to a campfire pit that showed evidence of having had a fire going. Those who had stumbled across the corpse described hhaving the feeling that the unfortunate trapper had been flash frozen within seconds.

TL;DR: Young witch Rebecca blamed for the animals that were stolen and slaughtered. She was hung from the tree that was then cut down, and uprooted. She was then buried face down, just in case she was alive, she would dig down, and not up. Then, her grave was covered in concrete.

I live a short walk from the "grave". Going near it causes you to buzz inside and makes you feel like if you weren't careful you could lose your breath and never find it again.

There's a website (http://rebeccasgrave.com/) created by someone who wanted the story to go mainstream. It obviously, did not. I don't even know anybody who saw the finished film.

Here's a list of other places in NB that are verifiably haunted.

Other things I've seen in Moncton are up in the hills. Large shadowy figures that sit on the tops of trees. They can sprint the height of the hills from top to bottom in a second. Watched them for hours one night. Driving around through the hills while they are out will leave you with a heavy feeling. Like an adult was riding on your shoulders.

I guess I'm more interested in hearing stories about cryptids because I have heard the occasional ghost story. Apparently I just moved to the wendigo capital of the world? Awesome ;/
