Every town has its secrets.
More accurately, a torso belonging to a Caucasian female was found in our local river.
Her arms, legs, and head were not found.

As far as I know, that case is still stone cold.
The body was never identified and no other clues have turned up.
There used to be an urban legend that was proven true, too.

Rumor had it that there was a train locomotive from the old timber days in the lake.
Apparently, there used to be a train bridge and it collapsed and dumped the train in the lake.
That one was an unsolved mystery for decades, though.
My wifes grandmother went missing from her ranch home in Snowflake AZ.
She was a widow and very close to her family and lived on over 10 acres.
Her car was at the house.
No leads, no nothing.
Its been over 15 years now.
The hardest part for my wife and her family is that theres never been any closure.
I think probably no one will ever know.
I grew up in a small town of about 2,500.
A couple of them actually went off and burned the gym and several classrooms down.
They searched the school and found the other unexploded bombs.
This happened in the 1980s.
They never caught who did it.
There are about forty unsolved murders here in a town of 6000 people.
But one of the ones that stands out is the trailer fire.
Woman burns alive in trailer.
It was locked and chained up on the outside.
Ruled an accidental death, resulting from something she did.
Weve had lots over the years.
I had a friend commit suicide.
It turned out, they put suicide on the report to save his family grief.
Found him naked, laying face down with his neck across the rope.
Hed tried auto erotic asphyxiation and blacked out with the rope cutting off his air supply.
His funeral was so sad and no one dared say anything about what really happened.
Theyre still supposedly finding body parts.
I am VERY aware and have a backup system when I go jogging, just in case.
Weve got quite a famous one.
Adelaide, Tamam Shud/The Somerton Man.
Dead guy is found lying on a beach with no identification in 1948.
Maid walks in despite the do not disturb sign on the door handle.
The guest was passed their checkout time.
Opens the door to Walter A. Emerick, standing beside the bed tying a blood-soaked bedsheet.
He puts his finger to his lips and tells her to shhh as she begins to scream.
He runs off into the night with the bloody sack.
He hides the evidence in an unknown location.
Cops find him checked into a hotel down the street and knock on his door.
A gunshot goes off and the cops find him in bed with a gunshot wound in the head.
They dont know who he killed, or where he hid the body.
There are some details I left out but go ahead and google it.
This has always been my favorite ghost story also.
They say a womans ghost haunts room 636.
And Walter haunts the room he died in and the St Anthonys Hotel down the street.
They said He asked for room 636, but it was taken.
They say hes not very nice to the living.
Small town resident here.
Its about 150 yards long and when its day time, its pretty well lit.
All of them in black trash bags.
All of them clearly experimented on by someone who was curious (and in serious need of help).
The FBI even took notice.
Its very unsettling and a lot of people said some very hurtful things in their fear.
Nothing came of it.
But its been 2 years and people havent forgotten the train tunnel.
It happened seven years ago and has never been solved.
All of Portland was talking about it, hundreds of people searched for him.
Most people I know, myself included, still believe it was the stepmom.
She seemed shady as fuck.
Im not posting this as a joke.
This was, seriously, a mystery near where I lived.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the case of theLeprechaun of Crighton, Alabama.
It looks like a joke.
Im not shitting you, this happened.
I was in the same class as her cousin at the time as well.
Still crazy to think about it at times.
She was abducted, sexually assaulted, and murdered.
There are no suspects.
The main suspects father worked for the FBI so people think that there was a police cover-up.
She was actually walking down the street past where my house is today.
So theres been a few, all relatively recently.
Then a few months later, a teacher and her teenage daughter were murdered in their home.
Then about two years ago, a mother went missing and no one has seen her since.
They found her car abandoned on the highway with all her stuff in it.
Still, they havent proved anything yet and no one has been charged.
Then the missing womens father was shot while hunting and theyre not sure who did it.
There have been rumors about whos responsible but nobody is sure.
So many drugs and its destroying lives.
Personally, I think one of the Mexican cartels is involved.
Cops ruled it an accident.
The thing is, everyone knows it was murder.
Theyd been seen by the technicians and there were several pictures of a bloody rock and this kids body.
It was obvious he had been bludgeoned to death.
He apparently was also missing his pants.
He was also a little Latino kid, and we live in a white flight county.
Id be shocked if they did a check for sexual assault of the body.
This guy literally lived 2 houses down from my best friend and a few blocks from my aunt.
I have seen him in his yard a few times and he always seemed like a nice guy.
He would always wave to me and asked how my day way.
The disappearance and murder ofMolly Bish.
The 16-year-old girl went missing at a pond where she was a lifeguard.
Her mother remembers seeing a suspicious person there but didnt dont think anything more of it.
The next day, her mother dropped her off at the pond, and never saw here again.
Her body was found three years later, about 4 miles away.
It is thought that the vehicle was buried underground.
Investigators have been searching the area withground penetrating radar.
A man was literally beheaded in a park about 5 years ago.
Like, head fully removed from body.
I dont really spend time in parks anymore.
Formerly lived in Bloomington, IN during the timeLauren Spiererdisappeared.
Her face was posted everywhere and I couldnt go out without seeing a poster.
There was even one posted inside my complex.
It was a shit show of a story.
An underage girl in a college party town drinking at a popular bar just disappears.
She left her phone and shoes in the bar.
She had a heart condition as well so they were worried about that.
They even had her on camera and it didnt help.
My coworkers and I would speculate what happened to her.
I saw her dad in McDonalds one time asking to put up more posters.
Theres even a website dedicated to her called Find Lauren.
They never did and its been 6 years.
(Called In Broad Daylight).
He basically terrorized this small town near the one I grew up in.
Funny thing, not one person saw what happened.
Rumor has it that everyone in town knows who it was.
My dad was young when it happened and has hinted that he knows, but wont confirm or deny.
In my hometown, there was a woman who was friends with my aunt.
My aunt worked at the prison and they had a bit of a record for sleeping with the guards.
They made plans to go out, but my aunt never got a call from her.
That morning when she returned home, she called her mom and presumably went inside to sleep.
Her family was out of the house so no one had contact with her the rest of the day.
When they went inside, it was said that it looked like a pig had been slaughtered.
Its also said that some people in the town know what happened, but wont speak up.
In November 2016 we moved to Alabama from Lafayette, Indiana.
Its a small town and everyone knows everyone else.
As far as I know,police have still not found this man.
A neighbor friend of mine in the 70s when we were about 10 just disappeared.
His body was found a few days/weeks later in a train car on the other end of town.
Guatney was suspected in the deaths of at least 10 young boys across America in the 70s.
My childhood friend was probably one of his victims.
June 11, 1988, Jason, 12-year-old boy, was reported missing around 11:30 pm.
Barry was released from Jail November 2009 and currently resides in Thunder Bay.
I grew up in Hawaii on the Big Island.
Our downtown wasnt big so you get to recognize and know everyone.
The homeless population in town was pretty friendly, so you get to know them.
He got 86d from every bar downtown.
My coworker did and got picked up by this guy.
That they are polluting the place and disrupting the peaceful island and that someone should do something about it.
Somebody should clean up the town.
Somebody should get rid of them.
Somebody should just kill them all because who would care and or notice?
My friend asked to get let out immediately.
Nice guy, nothing shady, just a former homeless guy trying to help his friends.
Nobody had seen him for a little while.
He was found later that week cut in half behind a dive shop.
Throughout the month there were more and more accounts of homeless people being found dead in gruesome manners.
Beheaded, mutilated, beaten to a pulp, and just generally horrifying ways to go.
So nobody really got to the bottom of it.
But were pretty sure it was GI Jim, theres just no way to be sure.
