The 4,000-year-old stone ruins of America’s Stonehenge command respect. The passing millennia, the elements, and the cultures that evolved and perished around this sacred megalithic complex have all made the series of stone walls, structures, and giant carved rocks on this granite hilltop in Salem, New Hampshire a wizened enigma. Finding a stone wall in the forest of a small New England town is by no means an anomaly, but finding these stone walls joined with intricate man-made stone chambers and lining up with enormous arrowhead-like monoliths that mark lunar and solar positions during events such as solstices and equinoxes, makes this place an archeological and spiritual question to ponder.

There are many variations on this legend, but one common theme involves Mary Worth, a pretty young girl who suffered an accident and was disfigured in her face.

A creation of Dr. Jacqueline Woolley and her research group, Children's Research Laboratory, at the University of Texas for the purposes of studying whether an original, fantastical being could really capture the imaginations of children. The basic premise is that on Halloween night, a child can set aside any unwanted candy they collect during their trick-or-treat outing and the Candy Witch will then fly to their homes while they are sleeping and exchange the candy for toys. She is a friendly, kind witch, not a scary or mean one.

Ephraim is described as an "evil, foul-mouthed shade" that seems to be provoked by women. He's been witnessed by several people and in addition to 'scaring the daylights out of people', he hurls insults and profanity-laced tirades at women. He's also been known to call out the name "Catherine" and was seen by one witness beating a woman as she lay on the ground. Activity reportedly seems to be located in the southeast corner of the cemetery and in addition to EMF spikes, certain areas of this corner of the cemetery will cause a compass to spin wildly or point in a direction other than magnetic north.
John Titor is an alleged time traveler from the year 2036. He claims to have come back in a car with time travel capabilities. He began posting on Internet message boards in November 2000 and for months he posted on various boards answering questions about time travel, giving warnings about wars that were to come in the future, and never breaking character.

Located in Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New England, the biggest of the Pukwudgees was a chief of seven bands of these magical creatures, and legend says that though this mighty chief was no taller than a regular man’s knee, he was dangerous. He could order his clan to perform deadly magic on their human neighbors. This chief was said to wear a string of brightly-colored shells around his neck, and he wore clothes made entirely of green leaves. He carried a white bow made of oak wood. The chief had more powerful magic than any Wampanoag medicine man. The creatures lived in the swamps and around the bays and salt ponds, and they hid their homes in the tall marsh grasses. This creature has also been mentioned by name in the central part of the United States. Also spelled: Puckwudgees
