 Urban Legends continue...

ARIZONA...


THE GHOSTS OF SLAUGHTERHOUSE CANYON

Near Kingman, AZ.

The story of Slaughterhouse Canyon,  also called the less-frightening Luana's Canyon, takes place during the Gold Rush, according to The Miner.

During the 1800s, there was a family who lived in the canyon. They were very poor, so the father would venture out for food for his family.

As you might have guessed, one day the father did not return, so his family slowly starved and descended into madness. The mother, unable to bear listening to her children's cries anymore, put on her wedding dress, murdered and chopped her children, and then threw them into a nearby river. The next day she succumbed to starvation herself.

The legend states that if you go down to Slaughterhouse Canyon at night, even now, you will hear the loud, anguished cries of the mother who lost her mind.


I wouldn't go alone!
